Cathedral City, Calif. (KUNA) – Debido a la crisis migratoria que azota al valle de Coachella, muchos residentes han sido afectados de diversas maneras, en esta ocasión son los comerciantes ambulantes quienes mencionan sentirse desprotegidos, puesto que sus ventas han disminuido considerablemente.

Para algunos la mejor defensa para evitar una detención es resguardarse en su domicilio, lo que ha propiciado que la señora Antonia Tenorio, comerciante ambulante dedicada a la venta de paletas y postres de nieve, enfrente una etapa de recesión económica.

“Las redadas migratorias nos han afectado mucho, bastante, ya la gente no sale, no  encontramos gente ya en la calle, es difícil para nosotros, caminamos a veces  dos bloques y no hay gente”, expresó Tenorio, quien gracias a ese oficio ha mantenido a su familia durante los últimos 20 años.

“Hay personas que salen de sus casas y nos dicen, ¿no ha mirado algo? ¿no ha visto a alguien? Le digo, no, hasta ahorita no, pero pues debo de tener cuidado, pero a  pesar de todo, uno debe de tener la sonrisa en la boca para que los niños salgan y se  acerquen a nosotros”, expuso Antonia.

Son muchas las personas que resienten las bajas ventas en sus negocios, algunos han optado por cambiar de oficio, mientras que otros buscan cambiar sus estrategias de venta

(CNN) — President Donald Trump’s sweeping deployment of National Guard troops to several major cities across the United States cost taxpayers approximately $496 million from June through December last year, according to an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO, which aims to provide objective, nonpartisan information to Congress, estimates that if last year’s deployments were to continue through this year, it could cost taxpayers $93 million per month — which would amount to more than $1.1 billion in 2026.

In a letter to Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon on Wednesday, the CBO said it arrived at those figures based on direct and indirect costs “to activate, deploy and compensate National Guard personnel” including “the operational, logistical, and sustainment costs of maintaining those deployments.”

Merkley, ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, asked the CBO in October to analyze the cost of the Trump administration’s troop deployments to several cities.

“The American people deserve to know how many hundreds of millions of their hard-earned dollars have been and are being wasted on Trump’s reckless and haphazard deployment of National Guard troops to Portland and cities across the country,” Merkley said in a statement Wednesday. “Trump is weaponizing taxpayer funds to illegally tighten his authoritarian grip on our communities. It must end.”

The CBO estimate covers National Guard and active-duty Marine Corps deployments to Los Angeles; Washington, DC; Memphis; Portland; and Chicago. It does not include the deployment to New Orleans.

Using data from the Defense Department’s 2025 budget, the CBO estimates that National Guard members are compensated approximately $95,000 per person per year because they receive the same rate as those in the military’s active component.

CNN reached out to the Pentagon for comment.

Asked about the CBO estimates, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “Thanks to the Trump Administration’s highly successful efforts to drive down violent crime, cities like Memphis and D.C. are much safer for residents and visitors – with crime dropping across all major categories. The media should talk to individuals who are able to go about their daily lives without fear of being assaulted, carjacked, or robbed thanks to the Trump Administration.”

The Trump administration last year escalated its efforts to deploy guard members and federal law enforcement officers in several Democratic-led cities, as part of what it has called a crackdown to address crime and restore order. Trump has described the deployments as a potential “training ground” for the military.

(CNN) — China has executed 11 members of the notorious Ming family criminal gang, who ran mafia-like scam centers in Myanmar and killed workers who tried to escape, Chinese state media reported on Thursday.

The Ming family was one of the so-called four families of northern Myanmar — crime syndicates accused of running hundreds of compounds dealing in internet fraud, prostitution and drug production, and whose members held prominent positions in the local government and militia aligned with Myanmar’s ruling junta.

The 11 people executed were sentenced to death in September after being found guilty of crimes including homicide, illegal detention, and fraud, Xinhua news agency reported.

Two of the defendants appealed and the case was elevated to the Supreme People’s Court, China’s highest court, which upheld the original verdict, according to Xinhua.

The crime family, headed by Ming Xuechang, had long been tied to an infamous compound called Crouching Tiger Villa in Kokang, an autonomous region on Myanmar’s border with China. At its peak, the group had 10,000 people working to conduct scams and other crimes, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

Kokang’s capital Laukkaing was at the heart of a multibillion-dollar scam industry that took root in lawless pockets of Myanmar, where trafficked workers were used to defraud strangers with sophisticated online schemes.

After years of complaints by relatives of trafficked scam center workers and growing international media attention, Beijing cracked down on the compounds in 2023.

That November, China issued arrest warrants for members of the family, accusing them of fraud, murder and trafficking, and posted rewards of between $14,000 and $70,000 for their capture.

Family head Ming Xuechang, who had also served as member of a Myanmar state parliament, later killed himself while in custody, Chinese state media reported at the time.

His son Ming Guoping, who was a leader in the junta-aligned Kokang Border Guard Force, and his granddaughter Ming Zhenzhen were among those executed, Xinhua reported on Thursday. Before they were executed, they met with close relatives, the report said.

The Ming family syndicate also conspired with the leader of another syndicate, Wu Hongming, who was also executed, to intentionally kill, injure and illegally detain scam workers, resulting in the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens, according to Xinhua.

In one incident in October 2023, four people were killed when members of the group allegedly opened fire on people at a scam compound. In a report into the shooting, Chinese state media CCTV reported the group were transferring workers from the cyberfraud park under armed guard after being tipped off that police were planning a raid of the compound.

Scamming gangs in Southeast Asia steal more than $43 billion a year, according to the US Congress-founded United States Institute of Peace.

In Myanmar, scam compounds have been shielded by corruption and lawlessness that has long saturated the country’s border regions. The criminal syndicates and the armed groups hosting them have also exploited almost five years of devastating civil war to expand their business.

Lo que suceda ahora en Minnesota depende de si el presidente Donald Trump concluye que simplemente tiene un problema de imagen o si está listo para cambiar políticas de deportación impopulares que son centrales para su identidad política.

El miércoles, Trump cumplió su palabra. Disminuyó un poco la tensión después de que agentes federales dispararan al enfermero de cuidados intensivos Alex Pretti el fin de semana pasado, llevando a Minneapolis y al país a una peligrosa crisis.

Pero fue solo un poco. Las diferencias entre la agresiva operación de deportación de la administración y un estado y una ciudad demócratas que se oponen fundamentalmente a sus métodos y a su objetivo final no se han reducido.

Y ha vuelto a lanzar retórica incendiaria contra los dirigentes locales que se interponen en su camino.

Cualquier desescalada puede ser de corta duración a menos que Trump esté dispuesto a absorber una derrota política seria o los demócratas acepten al menos alguna actividad de deportación federal.

“No quiero que dediquen ni un segundo a perseguir a un padre que acaba de dejar a sus hijos en la guardería, que está a punto de empezar a trabajar un turno de 12 horas, y que casualmente es de Ecuador”, indicó el alcalde de Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, en un foro público de CNN el miércoles. “Ese hombre… hace de nuestra ciudad un lugar mejor. Estamos orgullosos de tenerlo en Minneapolis”.

Los habitantes de Minnesota que están de luto por la muerte de dos de sus propios ciudadanos por disparos de agentes federales no se conformarán con un acuerdo cosmético.

Pero las redadas de deportación son endémicas de la filosofía MAGA, el atractivo de Trump para sus partidarios y el celo del presidente por aplicar el poder del hombre fuerte.

La tensión política seguía siendo intensa el miércoles, en medio de nuevas repercusiones por la muerte de Pretti, menos de tres semanas después de la de Renee Good, ambos a tiros. Algunos informes indicaron que se llevaron a cabo operativos federales, pero que fueron más selectivos que en semanas anteriores.

► Tom Homan, el zar fronterizo enviado por Trump para supervisar la Operación Metro Surge, que consiste en el despliegue de 3.000 agentes federales a Minnesota, mantuvo conversaciones con funcionarios locales que una fuente describió como “precarias” a Priscilla Alvarez y Kristen Holmes de CNN.

► Tras un breve receso, Trump volvió a intensificar su retórica de una forma que parecía incompatible con la búsqueda de una solución de buena fe por parte de Homan. El presidente advirtió a Frey que estaba “jugando con fuego” si su ciudad no aplicaba la ley federal de inmigración. Frey se niega a cooperar con los agentes federales.

► El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) informó que los agentes involucrados en el tiroteo de Pretti el sábado se encontraban en licencia administrativa según el procedimiento. Sin embargo, no hay claridad sobre las investigaciones ni sobre si se rendirán cuentas por la muerte de Pretti más allá de una investigación del DHS en la que muchos minnesotanos desconfían.

(CNN) — A driver rammed a car repeatedly into the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters building in Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday, prompting a hate crime investigation and additional security at places of worship throughout the city, officials said.

The driver was quickly arrested and there were no reported injuries, New York Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference.

Shortly before 9 p.m., a grey Honda sedan entered the driveway of the Hasidic Jewish site in the Crown Heights neighborhood, crashed into the doorway, backed up and crashed into it again several times, a law enforcement official told CNN.

There is a fixed police post assigned to the building, and officers there took the driver into custody.

The driver, who has not been identified, has been cooperating with police and told officers it was not an attack, the official said.

CNN has reached out to Chabad Lubavitch for more information.

The NYPD bomb squad did a sweep of the vehicle and no explosive devices were found, Tisch said. She added that she wasn’t aware of any weapons recovered at the scene.

“I am relieved that no one was injured in this horrifying incident. This is deeply alarming especially given the deep meaning and history of the institution to so many in New York and around the world,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at the news conference.

“Any threat to a Jewish institution or place of worship must be taken seriously,” Mamdani added. “Antisemitism has no place in our city.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was also at the news conference, said her office will be working with NYPD to investigate the incident.

Police mobilized additional crowd control as members of the Chabad community gathered on the scene, and have enhanced security at places of worship across all five boroughs, Tisch said.
