DHS Interdicts 6 Suspected Smuggling Vessels, Captures 82 Migrants Off San Diego Coast Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Six suspected human smuggling boats were taken into custody by authorities during the weekend , the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a Feb. 27 post on X. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem participates in a tour at the U.S. Coast Guard Station Charleston, in Charleston, S.C., on Nov. 7, 2025. Alex Brandon, Pool/AP photo “Since our southern border is more secure than ever before, cartels are being forced to try to smuggle through our nation’s maritime waters. This past weekend, DHS law enforcement interdicted six suspected maritime smuggling vessels and apprehended 82 migrants off the coast of California ,” the department said. “Our work to keep our nation safe never ends.

As investors look for ways to get exposure to growth trends in their portfolios, one idea is to beef it up with companies ties to not just one, but two growth areas of the market: artificial intelligence (AI) and digital advertising. Investing in Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) , the online search giant, and The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) , an independent digital advertising platform, are two ways to get exposure to both the ongoing shift toward digital ads and the implementation of AI into existing services. But the recent earnings reports from these two companies revealed a stark contrast in their fundamental momentum. Alphabet continues to accelerate its top line and expand its profit margins. Meanwhile, The Trade Desk's stock has been hammered this year as its fourth quarter pointed to a further top-line growth deceleration. So, is this an opportunity for investors to pick up shares of the smaller digital advertising specialist, given its recent stock price decline?
