La administración Trump planea redoblar los esfuerzos en la aplicación de leyes inmigratorias específicas, tomando el ejemplo de Tom Homan en Minneapolis y aplicándolo a varias ciudades del país, según funcionarios actuales y anteriores de Seguridad Nacional.

Esto representa un cambio radical con respecto a las tácticas, muy visibles y agresivas, empleadas por el alto funcionario de la Patrulla Fronteriza, Gregory Bovino.

Este enfoque, documentado en videos de redes sociales al estilo Hollywood y promocionado por altos funcionarios de Trump en aquel momento, se ha pospuesto, por ahora, tras las escenas ocurridas en Minneapolis, incluyendo la muerte a tiros de dos ciudadanos estadounidenses.

“Basta de tonterías de Bovino. Ese programa está cancelado”, afirmó un funcionario de Seguridad Nacional a CNN.

El regreso a las tácticas típicas de control de inmigración de ICE, que incluyen identificar objetivos con anticipación, en lugar de amplias redadas en áreas de tráfico de inmigrantes, se produce en medio de un debilitamiento del apoyo público a la forma en que la administración ha estado llevando a cabo los arrestos de indocumentados.

Las protestas e imágenes provenientes de Minneapolis a finales del mes pasado generaron preocupación entre algunos funcionarios de la administración Trump sobre la imagen que proyectaba la represión inmigratoria.

Entre ellos, el presidente Donald Trump, quien expresó en privado su frustración por la pérdida de su mensaje inmigratorio.

El debate sobre la aplicación de la ley inmigratoria federal también ha provocado un cierre parcial del Gobierno que afecta a partes del DHS, ya que los demócratas han impulsado reformas en ICE a cambio de apoyar la financiación del departamento.

“Atacar las amenazas a la seguridad pública no es nada nuevo. … Bajo el liderazgo de la secretaria Noem, casi el 70 % de los arrestos de ICE son de inmigrantes indocumentados acusados ​​o condenados por un delito en Estados Unidos”, declaró un portavoz de Seguridad Nacional en un comunicado, citando más de 700.000 deportaciones durante la administración Trump.

Si bien la administración ha indicado que está priorizando a las personas con antecedentes penales graves, muchos de los detenidos durante el último año no entran en esa categoría.

El DHS también emitió un memorando reciente que indica que las autoridades de inmigración deberían detener a los refugiados que aún no han obtenido la tarjeta de residencia permanente y someterlos a una evaluación adicional.

Fuentes informaron a CNN que, a finales del año pasado, los agentes se habían centrado más en localizar objetivos en lugar de limitarse a los encuentros callejeros.

Pero eso cambió con el envío sin precedentes de miles de agentes federales a Minneapolis tras un escándalo de fraude a la asistencia social que afectó a la comunidad somalí.

(CNN) — A man has been found guilty of grossly negligent manslaughter after leaving his girlfriend, who was “galaxies” behind him in terms of climbing experience, to freeze to death on Austria’s tallest mountain last year, authorities said.

The 37-year-old man, named in local media as Thomas P., was accused of having left his 33-year-old girlfriend, Kerstin G., alone as he sought help on Austria’s Grossglockner mountain in the early hours of January 19, 2025.

The pair ran into difficulties while trying to reach the summit but there were conflicting accounts in court regarding the defendant’s attempts to seek assistance. The verdict could have implications for mountain climbers and how liable they are for the safety of companions.

On Thursday evening, Innsbruck Regional Court in western Austria sentenced Thomas P. to a suspended prison sentence of five months and a fine totaling €9,600 (around $11,300), the court told CNN in a statement.

The judge, Norbert Hofer, said the defendant’s girlfriend was “galaxies” away from his climbing skills and she assumed he would take “responsibility” for her, according to Austrian public broadcaster ORF.

The maximum prison term for the offense of grossly negligent manslaughter is three years, the court said.

In deciding the defendant’s sentence, the court statement said his clean criminal record was taken into account, as well as the “loss of a relative” as a mitigating factor.

“It also took into account the public discussion on social media that had placed a strain on the defendant,” the court statement added.

Thomas P. had denied wrongdoing and said his girlfriend’s death was a “tragic accident” which he was deeply saddened by, according to his lawyer, Kurt Jelinek.

On Thursday, the court said the judgment was not final and is subject to appeal. “Appeals may be lodged within three days and must then be submitted in writing within four weeks,” it said.
