Foro Penal reporta nuevas excarcelaciones en Venezuela y llega a 300 confirmadas en enero

La organización Foro Penal reportó este miércoles nuevas excarcelaciones en Venezuela, con las que llegó a 300 casos desde que el 8 de enero el Gobierno anunció que liberaría a un “número importante” de personas detenidas, aunque la cifra se mantiene alejada de las más de 800 reportadas por las autoridades.

Gonzalo Himiob, vicepresidente de la ONG, reportó la tarde del miércoles que confirmaron 19 excarcelaciones en El Rodeo I, en el estado Miranda, y una en el estado Amazonas, con las que el conteo llegaba a 297. Por la noche, Himiob agregó la verificación de la excarcelación de tres mujeres en la cárcel La Crisálida, en el estado Miranda.

Diversas organizaciones civiles que trabajan en contacto con los familiares tienen diferentes criterios para definir qué casos corresponden a presos políticos. Hasta el miércoles por la mañana, la ONG Justicia, Encuentro y Perdón divulgó una lista con los nombres de 294 personas excarceladas, mientras que la coalición opositora Plataforma Unitaria Democrática reportó por la noche un listado de 303 personas.

El ministro de Interior y Justicia, Diosdado Cabello, aseguró esta semana que 808 personas han sido excarceladas desde “antes de diciembre”, teniendo en cuenta que decenas de detenidos salieron de prisión en Navidad y Año Nuevo, y negó la existencia de presos políticos en el país sudamericano.

En tanto, activistas y familiares continúan realizando manifestaciones afuera de varias cárceles en reclamo de información y para exigir la libertad plena de los detenidos.

Días atrás, la presidenta Delcy Rodríguez afirmó que contactaría a la oficina del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para que verifique la lista de los liberados, pero hasta ahora el Gobierno no ha difundido un listado oficial con las identidades.

Se intensifican las conversaciones entre la Casa Blanca y líderes del Senado para evitar el cierre del Gobierno de EE.UU.

La Casa Blanca y los líderes del Senado se están acercando a un acuerdo para evitar un cierre del Gobierno, pero están tratando de resolver los puntos finales de conflicto en negociaciones de última hora antes de la fecha límite del viernes, según varias fuentes familiarizadas con las conversaciones.

Las fuentes indicaron que la Casa Blanca se estaba acercando a las demandas de los demócratas de dividir el financiamiento del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de un paquete de financiación más grande con el fin de darles tiempo para negociar nuevas medidas políticas sobre el despliegue de agentes de ICE en todo el país.

El acuerdo en curso financiaría al resto de las agencias incluidas en el paquete hasta finales de septiembre, abarcando los departamentos de Defensa, Trabajo, Estado, Transporte y Salud y Servicios Humanos.

Sin embargo, solo extendería temporalmente la financiación del DHS. Esto daría tiempo a ambas partes para negociar sobre ICE, después de que el líder de la minoría del Senado, Chuck Schumer, presentara una lista de demandas que, según él, deben incluirse en la legislación final.

Las dos partes todavía están tratando de resolver el cronograma para extender la financiación al DHS, informaron las fuentes, subrayando que aún no se ha llegado a un acuerdo.

Pero las rápidas conversaciones son una clara señal de que el presidente Donald Trump y los líderes republicanos reconocen que deben responder a la indignación pública por las duras tácticas de los agentes de ICE tras el tiroteo mortal de dos ciudadanos estadounidenses en Minneapolis este mes.

Además, es una señal de que Trump está ansioso por evitar el segundo cierre gubernamental de su segundo mandato, después de que el anterior de 43 días del otoño pasado lo dejara molesto por las consecuencias.

CNN se ha puesto en contacto con la Casa Blanca para solicitar comentarios.

El miércoles por la mañana, Schumer presentó una lista de nuevas restricciones a la aplicación de la ley inmigratoria como condición para el apoyo demócrata, incluyendo la restricción de las patrullas móviles, el reforzamiento de los parámetros en torno a las órdenes de registro y arresto, el endurecimiento de las políticas sobre el uso de la fuerza y ​​la exigencia de que los agentes del ICE usen cámaras corporales y se quiten las máscaras.

Los demócratas, que cuentan con suficientes votos para sostener una maniobra obstruccionista en el Senado, dominado por el Partido Republicano (53-47), afirman que estos cambios deben incluirse en la legislación, y que las promesas de medidas ejecutivas no son suficientes.

Mientras demócratas y republicanos negociaban el miércoles en el Capitolio, el riesgo de un cierre del Gobierno pareció dispararse más temprano ese mismo día.

Tras bastidores, varios demócratas de Schumer rechazaron los esfuerzos de la Casa Blanca de discutir en privado las salidas para un cierre gubernamental, insistiendo en que los republicanos deben sentarse a la mesa de negociaciones en lugar de tratar de separar a los demócratas centristas como en el último impasse.

Incluso ante la perspectiva de un cierre de tres cuartas partes del Gobierno a partir del sábado, muchos demócratas se mantuvieron firmes, animados por la creencia de que la paciencia del país ante las agresivas tácticas de control inmigratorio de la administración Trump se ha agotado.

“Estoy harta de que ignoren todo esto porque Donald Trump podría darles unas nalgadas”, se quejó la senadora Jacky Rosen, demócrata de Nevada.

Queda poco tiempo para llegar a un acuerdo que pueda aprobarse en ambas cámaras antes de la fecha límite del viernes a las 11:59 p.m., hora de Miami.

More than a million fewer people have enrolled in Obamacare for 2026, new data shows. The drop comes after enhanced federal subsidies expired, leaving many Americans struggling with soaring monthly payments.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ CNN town hall

Minnesota leaders spoke with the public at a CNN town hall on Wednesday after weeks of unrest in the state, sparked by clashes between federal immigration agents and residents in Minneapolis. Here are the key takeaways:

  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey reaffirmed his support for the city’s sanctuary policies and repeated his demand that federal immigration agents leave Minneapolis.
  • Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara sharply criticized federal immigration agents’ tactics in the city, saying viral videos show “methods that are questionable” and unsafe for both agents and the public.
  • Mayor Frey watched a video of a prior altercation between Alex Pretti and federal immigration agents for the first time during Wednesday night’s town hall. He said that regardless of what the video showed, it did not justify the protester’s killing more than a week later.
  • Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said state officials still do not know the names of the federal agents who shot Alex Pretti. He said the government’s refusal to release the names “feels like a cover-up.”

2⃣ Government shutdown

The White House and Senate leaders are moving closer to a deal avoid a government shutdown before Friday’s deadline, when funding for many federal agencies is set to expire. Sources say lawmakers are trying to resolve some major differences, especially on immigration. Democratic senators have threatened to block a massive spending package that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security following two fatal shootings in Minnesota. Senate Republicans, however, want to keep the spending bill intact and hope the Trump administration’s recent actions to calm tensions in Minnesota will help avert a shutdown.

3⃣ Nuclear weapons

President Donald Trump is escalating his threats of military action against Iran. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump urged government leaders in Tehran to negotiate a deal to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons. He warned that the next US attack would be “far worse” than last summer’s strikes on three nuclear sites if talks collapse. A key adviser to Iran’s supreme leader said that any military action would be considered the start of war and vowed an “unprecedented” response, naming Tel Aviv as a target. Sources say Trump is considering strikes on Iran’s leadership, government institutions and nuclear sites, but has not made a final decision on how to proceed.

4⃣ Tesla

Tesla is ending production of its Model S and Model X vehicles amid declining sales and plunging profits. CEO Elon Musk says the company will instead focus on building humanoid robots and expanding its self-driving “robotaxi” service. Musk on Wednesday predicted that the Cybercab, a two-seat self-driv

Warming Thursday, tracking a toasty weekend

Kraig Pakulski 0 15 Article rating: No rating

Clear skies and a fast warming trend is ahead Thursday. Minimal marine layer coverage and ample sun help to warm us up by midday. Highs rise into the 60s and mid 70s. Winds will be blustery through Ventura prompting a Wind Advisory in effect now through 2pm. Gusts will near 45mph and prevailing winds hold at 20-30mph.

More warm weather and winds Friday. High pressure is at peak strength, meaning 70s and 80s are in the forecast. Offshore flow will cause tons of sunshine and it'll be the perfect afternoon for the beach. Grab some sunscreen and head out! Santa Ana winds crank in Ventura, so another Wind Advisory will be issued and holds through the weekend.

Saturday will be another peak heating day, very similar to Friday. The notable pattern shift begins Sunday as marine clouds greet northern areas to start the morning and cool temperatures off a few degrees. Dense marine clouds blanket all beaches by Monday and we start the new week and new month with gloomy mornings. Fast clearing patterns and mid 60s and 70s area ahead for next week.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar launches her bid for Minnesota governor

(CNN) — Sen. Amy Klobuchar launched a Democratic bid for governor on Thursday, pledging to unify her state and move beyond a deadly battle with the federal government over immigration.

“These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration,” Klobuchar said in an announcement video. “But who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state.”

Klobuchar, who has served in Washington for two decades, is seeking to govern Minnesota during an extraordinarily fraught moment. The state has become the epicenter of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, which has sparked waves of outrage and protest from residents, particularly after two fatal shootings of protesters by federal agents.

“We cannot sugarcoat how hard this is,” she said, “but in these moments of enormous difficulty, we find strength in our Minnesota values of hard work, freedom, and simple decency and good will.”

Her formal entry into the race comes after Gov. Tim Walz ended his reelection bid in the wake of a deepening federal investigation into widespread fraud of social service programs in Minnesota. Nearly a dozen Republicans were running for governor in hopes of challenging Walz, though one candidate left the race to protest what he called “retribution on the citizens of our state,” two days after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti.

Minnesota is now on the front lines of a searing debate over the politics of immigration enforcement and the exertion of federal power, emerging as a national test for whether the actions of President Donald Trump’s administration are seen as overreach or justified.

Klobuchar, 65, has long been seen as one of Minnesota’s most popular leaders in one election after another. She could face one of her biggest political tests yet in seeking to unify a state entwined in a fierce battle over immigration policy during a critical midterm election, with a race for governor, Senate and competitive House seats on the ballot in Minnesota.

In a four-minute campaign video, Klobuchar did not explicitly mention President Donald Trump by name or the broader immigration challenges facing the state, but she denounced the “3,000 ICE agents on our streets and in our towns, sent by an Administration that relishes division.”

“I’m asking Minnesotans across this state to not look down, to not look away,” Klobuchar said. “I’m asking you to look to each other.”

As she debated whether to stay in the Senate or run for governor, friends say, she often talked about the appeal of serving as a chief executive without the limitations of a dysfunctional Congress.

She joins a long list of lawmakers from both parties who are retiring or seeking an office away from Washington, though she is not planning to resign as she embarks on her campaign. If she wins in November, Klobuchar could resign and allow Walz to appoint her successor or choose her own replacement after being sworn in as governor. If she loses, she could return to the final four years of her Senate term.

‘Center of America’s heartbreak’

The politics of the state have been scrambled since Walz stepped away from his reelection bid on January 5. Two days later, an ICE agent killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman.

Klobuchar began considering jumping into the governor’s race long before unrest rocked Minnesota in the wake of Good’s death and intensified after Pretti was killed. As she weigh
