No da tregua: el gobierno de Biden aumenta las deportaciones de migrantes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:04:55 GMT

HARLINGEN, Texas — Cuando el presidente Joe Biden levantó la restricción fronteriza de la era de la pandemia del COVID-19 conocida como Título 42 en mayo, los funcionarios del gobierno esperaban un fuerte aumento en la cantidad de inmigrantes que ingresaban a los Estados Unidos.Los peores escenarios no ocurrieron, y el gobierno ha estado promocionando una caída del 42% en los cruces fronterizos ilegales desde mayo. Pero la realidad en la frontera hay más matices: la cantidad de migrantes que llegan a los EEUU sigue siendo alta, dijeron varias fuentes policiales. Y el gobierno Biden ha estado aumentando las deportaciones.Una parte central de ese esfuerzo se puede ver aquí en la pista de un aeropuerto en el Valle del Río Grande, donde el miércoles por la mañana, más de 100 migrantes, en su mayoría mujeres y niños, bajaban de los autobuses y subían a un avión fletado que los llevaría de vuelta a Honduras. El vuelo está a cargo de ICE Air, un programa que alquila varios aviones cada sem...

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck defends program against allegations he calls ‘baseless’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:04:55 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck brushed off allegations that he runs a toxic program on Thursday, saying they mostly come from players and employees who have been dismissed or departed on their own.“These allegations are baseless,” Fleck said during Big Ten media days at Lucas Oil Stadium. “We have full support of our athletic director, Mark Coyle, and our university leadership. This is a similar story that gets peddled every single year, and the majority of the players have been dismissed or removed from our football team.”Multiple former players and employees have been quoted anonymously in reports, including by Front Office Sports, examining the program’s culture, including an accusation that Fleck has interfered with medical protocols to get injured players to return earlier than anticipated.“We also have around a half-dozen anonymous reporting avenues within our football program that players can go to if they have an issue,” Fleck said. “And our athletic director...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:04:55 GMT

By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Three men ensnarled in a post-9/11 terrorism sting have been ordered freed from prison by a judge who deemed their lengthy sentences “unduly harsh and unjust” and decried the FBI’s role in radicalizing them in a plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down National Guard planes.Onta Williams, David Williams and Laguerre Payen — three of the men known as the “Newburgh Four” — were “hapless, easily manipulated and penurious petty criminals” caught up in a scheme more than a decade ago driven by overzealous FBI agents and a dodgy informant, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon said in her ruling Thursday.“The real lead conspirator was the United States,” McMahon wrote in granting the men’s request for compassionate release, effective in three months. She said that it was “heinous” of the men to agree to participate in wh...

Senate passes defense bill with bipartisan support, but clash looms with House over social issues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:04:55 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has passed a massive annual defense bill that would deliver a 5.2% pay raise for service members and keep the nation’s military operating, avoiding partisan policy battles to move the bill forward with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote.Senate passage, 86-11, sets up a clash with the House, which passed its own version of the annual defense bill along party lines after repeated clashes over social issues like abortion access and diversity initiatives. The partisan debate over the House legislation veered from a bipartisan tradition of finding consensus on national defense policy.The strong bipartisan vote for the legislation in the Senate could give it momentum as the two chambers next look to settle their differences. “I don’t think either party got exactly what they wanted,” said Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, but he said the bipartisan bill would help the military improve recruitment and ...
