A 10-year-old battling terminal cancer passed up the chance of going to Walt Disney World to become the youngest officer to be sworn into U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Devarjaye Daniel is now a sworn officer of nearly 400 law enforcement agencies, far surpassing his wish of being sworn into 100.
“This is right up his alley,” Theodis Daniel, Devarjaye’s father told CBP. “He turned down a trip to Disney World because law enforcement is all he wants to do.”
“It was my distinct pleasure to welcome ‘DJ’ into the CBP family,” said CBP Port Director Shawn Polley after administering the oath.

DJ went through training and was introduced to intellectual property rights violations where he questioned a fake purse.
The 10-year-old worked with K-9 teams and got to open a package of undeclared currency where he found three large stacks of bills, putting a smile on his face.
CBP said the boy’s keen eye even led to the seizure of apples from a traveler from El Salvador, as they are prohibited to prevent foreign pest and plant diseases.
DJ wrapped up his first day on the job with hugs, handshakes and spreading joy.
He has been sworn in as a junior officer 388 times.

Hope the kids ends up getting better.
“A 10-year-old battling terminal cancer”
Let’s just hope the doctors are being pessimistic here.
Kid should run for Congress.
The collective IQ would triple there.
Thank you for today’s tears.
How sad that the young boy is sick and might not become a young man. He will be welcomed in Heaven because he cares for his fellow humans. Amen.
Great.
Nice to see a special-named black kid wanting that.
Plus, he turned down Disney.
What a feel-good story all around.
Now if they can get him to say that Trump is a Russian stooge then they can report that “officials of nearly 400 law enforcement agencies issued a statement today that...”
Good choice - he may need those cops if he does ever visit Pedo World in Orlando 🤪
........Good for you Devarjaye!!!
Good luck to you!
May God bless you in your fight with cancer!
What a sweetie. Prayers for his complete recovery.
