Federal judge blocks Trump administration fines of up to $1.8M for migrants
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's attempts to fine migrants up to $1.8 million for failing to leave the country after receiving final deportation orders.
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston issued the ruling on Monday in response to a class-action lawsuit filed last year by two of the thousands of migrants who have received civil penalties from the Department of Homeland Security.
The judge granted preliminary relief to the plaintiffs, finding that the administration's process for imposing the fines violated federal law, and that migrants in the "economically precarious position" of addressing the fines could be pushed into "insolvency."
"The plaintiffs live in an economically precarious position even without the imposition of the government’s exorbitant fines," he wrote.
DHS ISSUES $84B IN FINES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNDER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
"They face the possible garnishment of their already modest wages, loss of any vehicles and homes, federal collections lawsuits and other adverse collateral consequences," O’Toole added. "If they were ultimately successful in this suit, there is no indication that simply requiring the government to vacate their fine notices would –– or even could, at that point –– make the plaintiffs whole or return the circumstances to the status quo."
O’Toole, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, described how the plaintiffs worked for low salaries and had come to the U.S. to escape political violence.
"Nancy M. was fined over $1.8 million," O’Toole wrote, referring to one of the plaintiffs. "She is a laborer working over 60 hours a week with two jobs, and she reports feeling serious anxiety affecting her ability to sleep, eat and live a normal life."
The judge also found that the administration's fine notices violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to provide specific allegations explaining why an individual's conduct warranted a penalty.
Fox News Digital reached out to DHS for comment.
As recently as July, DHS said it had issued more than 103,000 fines to migrants totaling about $84 billion since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
DHS has defended the penalties, saying people who refuse to leave the country after receiving a final order of removal could face fines of $998 per day.
Although Congress authorized civil penalties under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, no administration had attempted to impose the fines until Trump's first term.
Last year, the Trump administration began imposing fines of $998 per day for migrants who did not leave the country following a final order of deportation. The fines have been imposed retroactively for up to five years, with a maximum penalty of $1.8 million.
In July 2025, DHS and the Department of Justice implemented changes aimed at streamlining the assessment of fines by scrapping a 30-day notice period and shortening the process for challenging penalties.
The plaintiffs successfully challenged that policy and what they described as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy of issuing fines using boilerplate forms without independently assessing whether a person's failure to leave was "willful" or "voluntary."
O’Toole also found that the administration had failed to comply with rulemaking processes in implementing its streamlined fine-imposition process because it did not offer the public a chance to first comment on the policy change.
Congressional lawmakers have attempted to challenge the administration’s fines against migrants through the Immigration and Nationality Act. Sens. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., urged DHS and DOJ to pause the "improper application of certain civil penalties" in the law to "law-abiding immigrants."

Padres hold off Brewers in must-win Game 3 to survive elimination and force Game 4 at Petco Park
The first two games of the National League Division Series matchup between the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers have been playoff baseball at its best.
Drama, late-inning heroics, the American Family Field roof suddenly coming into play, and series-changing moments between two of the best players in Major League Baseball. Game one saw William Contreras launch a go-ahead homer in the 7th inning, while Ty France tried to hit a go-ahead one in the top of the ninth, only to be thwarted by the roof support system in Milwaukee.
The Brewers held on to win that game, 3-2, setting up a must-win for the Padres in game two. Michael King out-dueled Logan Henderson, and the Padres' talented bullpen mostly held Milwaukee's lineup at bay ... until the bottom of the ninth inning.
CLOSER MASON MILLER HITS PATERNITY LIST 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE PADRES' SEASON IS ON THE LINE
All-world closer Mason Miller, starting his second inning of work, suddenly couldn't find the plate. After three walks in the inning, star outfielder Jackson Chourio crushed a line-drive single to center field, walking off the Padres and giving the Brewers a commanding 2-0 series lead with the series shifting to Petco Park.
With Miller pushed to 40 pitches on Sunday, his availability for Tuesday's must-win matchup was already in question. But some stunning pregame news, that he'd be placed on the paternity list and unavailable, removed any doubt.
Fortunately for San Diego, they had Nick Pivetta starting against Dustin May, seemingly providing a clear matchup advantage. Through the early part of the game, that's exactly how it played out.

Pivetta used some spectacular defense from Jackson Merrill to work a scoreless first inning, with the young center fielder making a fantastic catch to rob Chourio of a double.
While Dustin May got through the first few innings unscathed, the third quickly unraveled. Samad Taylor singled and stole second, with Jake Cronenworth bunting him to third. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a run-scoring grounder to make it 1-0, followed by Merrill lacing a single to center.
He too stole second, and Manny Machado, struggling through the first two games, finally came through and drove in the second run to send the San Diego crowd into a frenzy.

In the top of the fourth, Milwaukee struck back. William Contreras, coming off a down year by his standards, delivered again, launching a mammoth homer to left field off Pivetta. And he took his sweet time admiring it, adding some celebrations while rounding the bases.
That made it 2-1, and when the Padres worked a lead off walk in the bottom of the fourth, Brewers manager Pat Murphy didn't hesitate, removing May from the game and going to the strong Milwaukee bullpen.
Milwaukee didn't stay down for long. In the top of the fifth, Cooper Pratt and Sal Frelick set the table with back-to-back singles, allowing Jackson Chourio to knot the game at 2-2 with a sacrifice fly to center.
But Jake Cronenworth wasn't having it. In the bottom of the fifth, Cronenworth launched a majestic solo shot to right field off Antonio Senzatela, restoring San Diego's lead at 3-2 and sending Petco Park into a frenzy.
The Padres tacked on a crucial insurance run in the sixth when Xander Bogaerts came home on a Cooper Pratt throwing error to push the lead to 4-2.
Milwaukee battled back in the eighth, scratching across another run off Bradgley Rodríguez to cut the deficit to 4-3. But Padres manager Craig Stammen turned to starter-turned-reliever Michael King to finish the job. King tossed two gritty innings out of the bullpen, stranding the tying run in the ninth to secure the 4-3 victory.
With the 4-3 win, San Diego fended off the sweep, cut Milwaukee’s NLDS lead to 2-1, and set up a massive Game 4 at Petco Park.

This entire series has been a showcase of top-tier baseball; elite pitching, powerful bullpens, and stars coming through in big moments. If this doesn't go five games, it'll be a missed opportunity for neutral fans who enjoy the drama of playoff baseball. Though Milwaukee is certainly hoping it doesn't.
French PM rejects police brutality claims after teens severely injured in protests: 'Accidents happen'
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu defended the police response to student protests after one teenager lost a hand in an incident involving a police grenade and another lost sight in one eye after being struck by a projectile.
In parliament on Tuesday, Lecornu pushed back on accusations of police brutality or state repression, adding that the term "police brutality" implies that officers had been instructed to use force, according to Politico.
"What triggers police action is the occurrence of urban violence," Lecornu said.
"Can accidents happen? The answer is yes," he added.
FRANCE EXPLODES AGAIN AS STUDENTS RIOT OVER EDUCATION
Lecornu and Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez have both argued that the police response was sparked by urban violence, arson and vandalism, while maintaining that officers have acted within their authority. Nuñez also called the police response proportionate in "almost all cases."
The prime minister also accused opposition party France Unbowed of exploiting the student protests to sow chaos and score political points ahead of next year’s presidential election.
President Emmanuel Macron convened an emergency meeting with senior ministers to address the nationwide student protests and their potential political fallout.
The French government is facing mounting pressure after more than 6,500 people were arrested and hundreds were injured as students demand better funding and learning conditions in schools. Most of those arrested were minors, according to the Associated Press.
Lecornu said 215 students and 85 school staff members had been injured since the protests began, while his office said 715 police officers had also been injured.
"I hope we can provide a political response to a very real anxiety among high school students," Lecornu acknowledged.
As Lecornu delivered his remarks on Tuesday, demonstrators from several French unions and teachers’ groups gathered with high school and university students. Members of France’s left-wing parties were also at the protest, according to Politico.
The Interior Ministry estimated that 266,000 people took part in demonstrations nationwide Tuesday, including 56,000 in Paris.
The Paris demonstration was largely peaceful, although smaller groups later clashed with riot police, according to the Associated Press.
The protesters' movement began at high schools in the Paris region in mid-September before spreading nationwide.
TEEN'S HAND BLOWN OFF BY POLICE GRENADE DURING FRENCH STUDENT PROTESTS: REPORT
On Monday, a 15-year-old boy in northern France lost a hand after a police grenade exploded during the protests, Politico reported. A prosecutor said he could not "say for certain whether the student picked up the grenade or whether it was thrown at him."
In the city of Tours, a 16-year-old lost sight in one eye after being hit by a projectile, according to the outlet. The prosecutor said the projectile may have been fired from a sub-lethal riot-control weapon used by police.
Boris Vallaud, leader of the center-left Socialist group in parliament, said the group's lawmakers would introduce legislation restricting the use of sub-lethal riot-control weapons at student demonstrations, warning that they can cause irreversible injuries, the outlet reported.
Former German spy chief arrested on suspicion of espionage, attempted treason
A former spy chief for Germany's foreign intelligence service was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason over allegations that he obtained classified documents and used secret information to prepare an analysis for an employee of a foreign intelligence service, prosecutors said.
August Hanning, 80, led Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, known as the BND, from 1998 to 2005.
According to federal prosecutors, Hanning is "strongly suspected of treasonous espionage, spying out state secrets, attempted treason, and espionage."
A former aide, identified as Manfred D., was also arrested in western Germany and is accused of aiding and abetting attempted treason and treasonous espionage in connection with the case.
RUNAWAY BRAZILIAN EX-SPY CHIEF CONVICTED IN COUP REPORTEDLY DETAINED BY ICE AT FLORIDA TRAFFIC STOP
Prosecutors said Manfred D. worked as Hanning’s chief of staff before going on to serve as chief of staff to several of Hanning's successors at the BND between March 2012 and March 2026, giving him access to confidential information.
Beginning in 2010, the men allegedly reached an agreement under which Manfred D. would routinely transmit intelligence to Hanning in exchange for payment.
The arrangement continued until June 2022, with Manfred D. allegedly providing Hanning with roughly 2,000 documents, many of which contained classified information intended strictly for internal use, according to prosecutors.
Hanning allegedly used the information in his private consulting work.
A spokesperson for the federal prosecutor’s office told German broadcaster RTL that investigators believe Hanning used classified information to prepare an analysis for an employee of a foreign intelligence service.
Prosecutors also said Hanning passed along information following extensive exchanges with an employee of another intelligence service.
German authorities have not publicly identified the foreign intelligence services allegedly involved.
The investigation grew out of an apparently unrelated case involving the 2024 abduction of the children of Hamburg businesswoman Christina Block during a custody dispute.
Prosecutors said Hanning's arrest stemmed from evidence gathered during that investigation.

Hanning's arrest marks the first detention of a former head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, according to Reuters.
Hanning and Manfred D. were expected to appear before a judge at Germany's Federal Court of Justice following their arrests.
Fox News Digital has reached out to GLOBSEC, where Hanning previously held an affiliation, for comment on his arrest and the allegations against him.

Man pleads guilty to 2023 killing of Lauren Heike on Phoenix hiking trail
Zion Teasley has pleaded guilty to the 2023 murder of Lauren Heike, who was found dead with multiple stab wounds along a trail in north Phoenix.
Teasley entered the plea last Friday to first-degree premeditated murder, as well as a separate sexual exploitation of a minor charge stemming from conduct dating to 2019, according to the Maricopa County Superior Court. Under the plea agreement, Teasley is expected to be sentenced to natural life in prison, and prosecutors will withdraw their pursuit of the death penalty. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 4.
He was also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and first-degree burglary in 2020, but prosecutors voluntarily dismissed those charges last week as part of the plea agreement.
In the aftermath of Heike's killing, a police report revealed that Teasley had been struggling with his sexuality and gender identity, ABC 15 said. Police previously said they believed Heike's killing was a random attack, and investigators found no prior communication between Heike and Teasley, according to the outlet. He was also a former Marine recruit who was separated from recruit training just months after enlisting in 2019, the outlet said.
PHOENIX WOMAN, 29, FOUND DEAD ON HIKING TRAIL
"Our records indicate that Zion W. Teasley entered recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot San Diego on March 25, 2019. He was separated June 17, 2019, prior to completing boot camp," the U.S. Marine Corps told the outlet.
When questioned by the police, Teasley said Heike appeared to be "what I would want to look like," according to the outlet.
Investigators also uncovered a screenshot that they believed shed light on Teasley's state of mind. It read, "When I see a beautiful woman and I'm a man," ABC 15 said.
The outlet added that Teasley was fired from one of his jobs for being "aggressive toward female employees" and was "suspected of stealing merchandise."
PHOENIX POLICE ARREST SUSPECT IN CONNECTION TO LAUREN HEIKE'S DEATH
Heike was killed in April 2023 when a resident found her body along a community trail, officials said. She was found with 15 stab wounds and injuries to her hands and forearms, police reported.
Investigators said DNA, surveillance video and cellphone location evidence linked Teasley to the crime.
Heike's family said they had supported prosecutors' initial decision to seek the death penalty but ultimately agreed with the plea agreement, which ensures Teasley will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of release.
Based on the condition of Heike's clothes and officials finding her belongings scattered along the trail, investigators believe Heike was chased over a barbed wire fence during the attack.
"The suspect ran after Lauren and then sprinted away before returning to the location where Lauren's body was found and climbing over the barbed wire," Teasley's probable cause statement read.

Closer Mason Miller hits paternity list 45 minutes before the Padres' season is on the line
San Diego Padres All-Star reliever Mason Miller will miss an elimination game against the Milwaukee Brewers after being placed on Major League Baseball’s paternity list ahead of Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
Miller couldn't have picked a worse time to step away, leaving San Diego without its top bullpen weapon right before a win-or-go-home Game 3. The team placed him on the paternity list 45 minutes before the start of the game.
Under MLB’s postseason paternity rules, Miller is allowed up to three days off.
The Pads plugged that hole by putting veteran lefty Wandy Peralta on the active roster. If San Diego somehow manages to keep its season alive, Miller gets his spot back whenever he returns.

Baseball fans couldn't help but draw comparisons to Yankees starter Max Fried, who finds himself in the exact same boat. Fried is slated to pitch a crucial Game 3 with his girlfriend due any day, but he publicly confirmed he isn't skipping his start for anything. Seeing Fried post up for his team while Miller sits out an elimination game brought the debate over playoff priorities right to the forefront.
Making matters worse, Miller’s last act on Sunday was a total disappointment. Trusted to secure a six-out save in Game 2, he unravelled with two outs and two strikes in the ninth, giving up a walk-off single to Jackson Chourio.
Congratulations are in order for the new dad, but if San Diego gets eliminated, fans won't be in much of a mood to celebrate.

USMNT adds to sports wins over Canada this year with international friendly victory in Minnesota
The latest clash between the United States and Canada in sports has led to another victory for the Stars and Stripes.
It may have only been an international friendly for the U.S. men’s national soccer team, but victory was had against their rival north of the border during the match in St. Paul, Minnesota on Tuesday night.
The USMNT defeated Canada, 1-0, to complete their international break undefeated in their first stretch since a tough Round of 16 loss to Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

There was no Christian Pulisic on the pitch for the U.S., as he continues to rehab from the bone bruise and microfracture he suffered in that loss to Belgium on home soil during the World Cup. But others stepped up to get the job done against a tough Canadian group that made it out of their Group B and into the knockout stages this summer.
It was Justin Ellis, a 19-year-old from Florida who stars for Orlando City SC in Major League Soccer, who scored the lone goal for the USMNT.

Ellis was called up to the U.S. senior team by manager Mauricio Pochettino for friendlies against Peru, Chile, and Mexico prior to this meeting with Canada. He was among those called up to get the international experience, but he was notable considering Uruguay head coach Diego Forlán visited him the week prior. Ellis is eligible to also represent Uruguay on the international stage through his mother.
But the youngster seemed to fit in naturally for the U.S., as he drilled home a cross from World Cup standout Alex Freeman in the 29th minute of the match against Canada. It marked Ellis’ second goal during these friendlies, as he scored in his debut match against Peru on a free kick.
Ellis has been described as a complete striker and could be a name not to forget as the USMNT eyes some revenge in the 2030 World Cup.
But before taking down Canada, the U.S. handled their friendly opponents in dominant fashion. They defeated Peru, 4-1, followed by wins over Chile, 4-2, and Mexico, 3-0. These players will head back to their respective clubs across the globe feeling good about the development that continues under Pochettino.
And the U.S. can say they took down Canada in yet another sport this year. Of course, the Winter Olympics gold medals in both men’s and women’s ice hockey are the highlights, but the U.S. also took down Canada, 5-3, in the group stage of the World Baseball Classic just a month after winning gold.
Alleged killing by Marine prompts US military to restrict off-base liberty in Okinawa
The U.S. military in Okinawa, Japan, is beginning an operational pause for 48 hours, prohibiting off-base liberty and ordering training after a Marine was arrested on suspicion of killing and robbing a woman.
Lt. Gen. Benjamin Watson, Okinawa Area Coordinator and commander of III Marine Expeditionary Force, said in a letter on Tuesday that incidents like this "demand we pause for reflection" and that serving on the island "comes with responsibility."
"We speak often about standards and discipline. Standards are what we expect, and my standards are clear: be accountable for your actions; do the right thing, especially when no one is looking; and always be guided by our core values that govern our conduct at every rank," he wrote.
"We live, work, and socialize alongside the people of Okinawa; their home is our home. Every interaction with our neighbors either builds or undermines the trust that is essential to our team. When that trust is damaged, it affects the strength of our alliance and the security of this region. Accordingly, we will take time to think hard about discipline, standards and our alliance responsibilities," Watson added.
THAI RESORT CITY CRACKS DOWN ON PROSTITUTION AHEAD OF USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ARRIVAL
The arrest of the Marine has sparked protests against the heavy American military presence on the southern Japanese island and concerns over military-related crime.
Japanese officials have also lodged a formal protest with the U.S. government. Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi summoned U.S. Ambassador George Glass and called for cooperation with the investigation, stricter discipline among U.S. personnel and measures to prevent similar incidents.
The killing could complicate Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s push to both strengthen the Japanese military on Okinawa and work more closely with the U.S. military to deter China.
The pause in operations will last from Wednesday through Friday, during which no "off-base liberty" or alcohol will be allowed. Restricting troops from leaving military bases and interacting with the local community is a common response by military leaders to major crime incidents.
Service members will receive training on standards, discipline and "our responsibilities as members of the Okinawan community," Watson said.
"This Period of Training will include discussions on liberty policy, enforcement mechanisms, alcohol awareness, Okinawan culture, and alliance responsibilities. Every member of this force must understand that individual conduct has consequences," he said.
After the training, which will begin on Friday, troops will transition into a 30-day "Period of Reflection."
NAVY SAILOR SENTENCED TO 44 YEARS FOR STRANGLING FELLOW SERVICEMEMBER IN VIRGINIA BARRACKS ROOM
During this period, Watson said there will be "restrictions on liberty" to remind all military personnel that "liberty is a privilege and a collective responsibility." These restrictions will include a curfew and enhanced supervision.
"Liberty is a mission, and like any other mission it requires discipline, trust and teamwork to complete it successfully," he said. "Take care of your teammates. Hold one another accountable. Live up to the high standards that come with the uniform you wear."
Okinawa prefectural police said they arrested Lance Cpl. Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, who is stationed at Futenma Air Station, on suspicion of strangling Anna Yagi, 39, at a hotel in the island’s capital city of Naha early Saturday and stealing her wallet and backpack.
Ballard has denied the allegations.
Security camera footage showed a man entering the hotel with the woman and later leaving alone.
Ballard was arrested after a patrolling officer spotted him walking later on Saturday in an entertainment district in Okinawa City, about 15 miles northeast of Naha. His shaved head and the tattoos on his arms matched those of the man seen in security footage, Kyodo News agency reported.
People in Okinawa have long opposed the heavy U.S. military presence on the island, although some have acknowledged its strategic benefit due to what is seen as a growing threat from China.
Okinawa was under U.S. occupation from World War II until 1972. Now, the U.S. population on the island is nearly 80,000, with nearly 30,000 being active duty troops from all four branches of the armed forces. The Marines make up most of the service members on the island.
A rise in crime linked to U.S. military-related personnel has led to renewed protests on the island. The number of criminal cases involving U.S. military-related personnel rose from about 40 in 2020 to 101 in 2025, according to Okinawa prefectural police.
After three U.S. service members raped a 12-year-old girl in 1995, huge crowds protested the U.S. military presence on Okinawa. There was also frustration over a U.S. service member's rape of a teenage girl in 2024 and the delayed disclosure of the case.

Debra Messing says cost of living, subway violence pushed her to back Trump-endorsed Republican
Debra Messing defended her decision to support Trump-backed Republican Bruce Blakeman for governor of New York on Tuesday.
The "Will & Grace" actress wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that while she has been a Democrat her whole life and for years her focus has been on voting rights, the gay community and gun control, she is increasingly concerned about the quality of life in New York City.
"I still stand by every one of those principles," the 58-year-old said, adding, "What has changed is how I feel about the city and state I love dearly."
DEBRA MESSING DITCHES DEMOCRAT FOR TRUMP-BACKED REPUBLICAN AS SHE SOUNDS ALARM OVER NEW YORK
In the past, Messing has supported candidates like former President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Cynthia Nixon before she endorsed the Republican Nassau County executive. And she has frequently criticized President Donald Trump.
"I know I’m not someone choosing between rent and groceries. But many of the people who make New York what it is: small business owners, teachers, nurses, and young people trying to start their lives here, are struggling with the rising cost of living, and policies like congestion pricing are making it difficult to afford," she wrote.
She said when the people who live in the city can’t afford to live there, "we risk losing part of what has long made New York an extraordinary place of opportunity."
GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE
Messing explained that she has also become "increasingly concerned about public safety," saying that the "violence we see on our streets and subways frightens me.
Explaining that she voted for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for years ago and recently reflected that she didn’t feel better off than she was four years ago, she said, "So I asked myself the question I’d encourage everyone to ask. Not: ‘Which party am I supposed to vote for?’ But: ‘Who do I believe will actually make life better for the people I love and the place I live?’"
She said for her, that was Bruce Blakeman because of his focus on affordability and safety. She noted that his campaign has said he’s pro-choice and supports gay rights.

"I don’t agree with him on everything, and I don’t expect to," she continued. "No candidate is perfect. But on the issues that are hurting New Yorkers right now, I believe he’s the right choice. Yes, he’s been endorsed by the President. That’s not what my vote is about."
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
Messing went on to say that she doesn’t believe party affiliation should "determine every vote I cast."
"I’m making this decision based on my own conscience and priorities," she added.
Super Bowl-winning coach Bruce Arians partners urges prostate cancer screenings: 'It will save your life'
This week, the NFL continues its "Crucial Catch" initiative, an annual partnership with the American Cancer Society focused on fighting cancer through early detection, risk reduction and screening awareness.
For former Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians, it’s the perfect time to share his prostate cancer survival story, and more importantly, stress how simple it is to get screened today.
Arians partnered with Novartis for it’s "Relax, It’s a Blood Test" campaign to raise awareness about prostate cancer screening and the importance of early detection. It was a no-brainer because, in 2007, early detection helped his doctors find the prostate cancer he was diagnosed with and remove it.

"Being Crucial Catch just being kicked off this week in the NFL, it’s a great partnership. Getting the message out to all men about early detection. One in eight men in the United States are going to have prostate cancer, and early detection is the key. It’s a simple finger-free blood test," Arians told OutKick in a recent interview.
Arians admitted the moment he heard his diagnosis, it was "devastating." But if it wasn’t for his PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, blood test, perhaps things could’ve been much worse.

"I thought I was just like every other man going to the bathroom too much at night. I had started my scorecard at 40, and when I say start a scorecard, get your PSA level checked every year by your doctor. Know your risk and get screened," Arians said.
"For me, I went in, got the diagnosis. Doctor said, ‘You know, let’s just do a biopsy just in case.’ Fortunately, we found the prostate cancer and had it removed. I was 51 and had all those anxieties that all men have for what’s to come. But the doctors, they have such a great way of saving the nerves and everything else. And you want that cancer out of your body. For me, it was very easy. Just went to work the next 10 days with a catheter and got ready for the draft.
"I was very, very fortunate to have a fantastic doctor, and the personal part of it is why I’m so involved with Novartis and the campaign."
It’s a serious initiative by Novartis, but Arians did have a bit of fun with some play-on football worlds. In the campaign, he urges athletes to "relax their tight ends," emphasizing how prostate cancer screenings can begin with the PSA test rather than a rectal exam. Legendary tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez were involved with the campaign as well.
The truth is, if detected early, the five-year relative survival rate of prostate cancer is over 99%, making screenings super important for men.
"I think it’s so easy to try and make sure that this does not happen to you. A simple thing: start your scorecard. Get your PSA level checked every single year and stay in tune with your doctor. If you’re not one of those guys that goes to the doctor very often, this is the one you need to go to. It will save your life."
