White House Honors Teen Agent DJ Daniel After New Cancer Tumors Diagnosed

Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old boy from Houston diagnosed with terminal brain and spine cancer in 2018, is now facing three new tumors, according to his father, Theodis Daniel. Despite being given just five months to live initially and undergoing more than a dozen brain surgeries, DJ has defied the odds and been sworn into over 1,350 law enforcement agencies nationwide, including the U.S. Secret Service, an honorary title bestowed by President Donald Trump during a joint session of Congress. The White House has expressed support and prayers for DJ, highlighting him as a symbol of strength and bravery amid his ongoing battle with cancer. DJ's story gained national attention not only for his health struggles but also due to the political reaction during Trump's address, where Democrats notably did not applaud him. His father has shared that experimental treatments have given them hope, and DJ maintains his vibrant spirit and sense of humor. The White House and supporters continue to rally around DJ, celebrating his courage and honoring his dream of joining law enforcement despite his health challenges.
