Agentes de ICE dispararon a un hombre indocumentado en Maryland que, según dicen, intentó embestirlos con su camioneta

Una parada de tráfico en las afueras de Baltimore el miércoles terminó con un hombre indocumentado herido por disparos y otro más lesionado después de que agentes del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés) alegaran que el conductor de una camioneta se dirigió directamente hacia los agentes, lo que los incitó a abrir fuego.

Este es el segundo incidente publicado esta semana en el que agentes del ICE dispararon contra una persona indocumentada durante un operativo después de que esta presuntamente intentara herir a los agentes, aunque no fue alcanzada por disparos.

En el incidente del miércoles, el conductor de la camioneta recibió un disparo y otro inmigrante indocumentado que viajaba en ella resultó herido, pero ambos se encuentran estables y se espera que se recuperen, informó el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés).

Tras un año de enfrentamientos violentos entre el DHS y el público, este enfrentamiento es otro ejemplo de cómo los accidentes automovilísticos y las embestidas están cobrando protagonismo en los encuentros con agentes federales a medida que se intensifica la aplicación de las leyes inmigratorias en todo el país.

Agentes de ICE se encontraban en Glen Burnie, Maryland, el miércoles realizando un operativo inmigratorio selectivo cuando intentaron detener a los dos hombres, según informó la subsecretaria del DHS, Tricia McLaughlin, en un comunicado.

Los inmigrantes indocumentados fueron identificados como Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins, un portugués que conducía la camioneta, y Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel, un salvadoreño que viajaba como pasajero, explicó McLaughlin.

Los agentes se acercaron a la camioneta y le pidieron a Sousa-Martins que apagara el motor, pero él se negó e intentó huir del lugar, añadió. Empezó a embestir vehículos de ICE y luego condujo su camioneta directamente hacia los agentes, y parecía que intentaba atropellarlos, añadió McLaughlin.

“Temiendo por sus vidas y la seguridad pública, los agentes dispararon sus armas de servicio a la defensiva, impactando al conductor”, declaró. Sousa-Martins luego destrozó su auto entre dos edificios, dijo McLaughlin, aunque las fotos compartidas por la agencia en X muestran una camioneta blanca que se estrelló contra un árbol. CNN se comunicó con el DHS para obtener aclaraciones.

En el accidente, Serrano-Esquivel también resultó herido, dijo.

Los agentes brindaron atención médica inmediata a los dos hombres y los trasladaron al hospital, dijo McLaughlin, y agregó que ningún agente de ICE resultó herido.

Sousa-Martins llegó a Estados Unidos desde Portugal en diciembre de 2008, pero no salió del país cuando su visa expiró en febrero de 2009, dijo el DHS. La agencia no proporcionó información adicional sobre el historial migratorio de Serrano-Esquivel.

No está claro de inmediato si los dos hombres obtuvieron representación legal.

CNN se comunicó con las autoridades locales de la zona para ver si respondieron al incidente.

A medida que las imágenes de dramáticos operativos inmigratorios han aumentado en todo el país durante el último año, los incidentes con vehículos se han vuelto comunes.

“Los agresores ahora chocan deliberadamente contra los agentes, acorralan a los vehículos policiales, sacan a los agentes de ICE de las carreteras y embisten con sus vehículos a los vehículos policiales”, declaró Emily Covington, subdirectora de Asuntos Públicos de ICE, a CNN en octubre.

Sin embargo, la agencia ha sido criticada por usar la táctica en sí, incluyendo la controvertida “técnica de inmovilización de precisión” o “PIT”, que obliga a un vehículo a girar y detenerse. Expertos han

Annual Christmas Eve jazz concert canceled after Trump’s name installed on Kennedy Center

Workers adjust the name of the “John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

By Aleena Fayaz, CNN

(CNN) — The host of the Kennedy Center’s annual Christmas Eve jazz performance said he canceled Wednesday’s concert following the board of trustees’ move to rename the facility for both the 35th president and President Donald Trump.

“I did choose to cancel our Kennedy Center Christmas Eve Jazz Jam when I saw the name change happening last Friday,” Chuck Redd, a drummer and vibraphonist, said in a statement to CNN.

The cancellation marks the latest backlash after the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted last week to rename the facility the “Trump Kennedy Center.” The move quickly sparked outrage from the former president’s family, lawmakers and patrons of the historic center and concerns about legality.

In the hours after the vote, the Washington, DC, performing arts center updated its website and the following day installed new signage to the facade of the building bearing Trump’s name.

The jazz performance is a yearly holiday tradition held at the Kennedy Center. Prior to its cancelation, the concert offered both an in-person and a livestream option for spectators looking to share in holiday cheer.

Redd, a longtime member of the DC music scene, said there is currently no plan to reschedule the performance.

CNN reached out to the Kennedy Center for comment. The Associated Press previously reported on the cancelation.

The effort to rename the building has raised legal concerns as to whether the board has the authority to rename the arts institution, which Congress designated in 1964 as a memorial to the assassinated Democratic president.

Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat and an ex-officio trustee of the center, brought a lawsuit challenging the board of trustees’ move on Monday.

Beatty alleges the vote by the center’s board of trustees to add Trump’s name went beyond the authority given to the board by Congress.

Trump, who was elected chair by a newly constituted board in February, has frequently joked about calling the performing arts center the “Trump Kennedy Center.” The president’s handpicked board approved his wishes at a board meeting last week, according to a source familiar with the matter, during which Trump also called in.

Days after returning to office, Trump announced an aggressive plan to gut the existing board of trustees and oust its chairman, the billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein. Since then, he’s led an effort to reshape the institution to his taste: reshaping its leadership, securing multimillion-dollar congressional funding for renovations, and reimagining its programming.

Trump tells 10-year-old child he made sure ‘a bad Santa’ is not ‘infiltrating’ the US

President Donald Trump calls children as he participates in tracking Santa Claus' movements with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Santa Tracker on December 24

By Kevin Liptak, CNN

(CNN) — The phone rings. Would your 10-year-old like to speak with the president? He’s tracking Santa Claus from his living room in Palm Beach.

“Santa is a very good person,” President Donald Trump, in a suit and gold tie, tells Jasper in Tulsa. “We want to make sure that he’s not infiltrated, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. So we found out that Santa is good. Santa loves you. Santa loves Oklahoma, like I do. You know Oklahoma was very good to me in the election. So I love Oklahoma. Don’t ever leave Oklahoma, okay?”

Okay, Jasper says.

Next one, general.

Trump is speaking to children whose calls to NORAD to track Santa have been patched through to Mar-a-Lago. It’s a presidential tradition.

“I figure you should hear all of this,” he tells his audience of reporters, who are watching from beside the Venetian silk panels and Romanesque columns at Trump’s gilded Florida resort. His speakerphone is on, but his wife’s is not.

“She’s very focused. The first lady’s very focused,” he said, peering around the Christmas tree to where Melania Trump is sitting, receiver to ear.

She doesn’t look up.

“I think it’s best if they go to sleep,” the first lady says into her receiver, with her back to the president. “And then Santa will arrive to your house.”

“She’s able to focus totally without listening to this,” the president says. “At least you know what’s happening.”

An 8-year-old in North Carolina is next.

“You sound so beautiful and cute! You sound so smart,” the president tells Savannah, who is wondering: “Will Santa ever get mad if we don’t leave him out any cookies?”

“He won’t get mad,” Trump replies, after asking Savannah to repeat her question. “But I think he’ll be very disappointed. You know, Santa, he tends to be a little bit on the cherubic side. You know what cherubic means? A little on the heavy side.”

Another glance over to the first lady, engrossed in conversation.

“This way you can hear what’s going on. I think it’s a little bit better,” he says, pointing to his speakerphone. “One-sided calls are never good, but they’re less much less dangerous.”

The military is tracking Santa over Sweden, the general informs Trump.

“So Santa’s got quite a trip to get to your part of the world,” he tells Amelia in Kansas. “Five hours from now, Santa will be coming down your chimney.”

Amelia is worried about coal in her stocking.

“You mean clean, beautiful coal?” Trump asks. “I had to do that, I’m sorry.”

Next one, general. The line is quiet.

“You like the room everybody? No ceiling height problem,” the president says to fill the silence, glancing up toward the gold-leaf coffering. “Hey general?”

A five-year-old in Pennsylvania is standing by.

“Pennsylvania is great. We won Pennsylvania actually, three times, but we won Pennsylvania. We won it in a landslide. So I love Pennsylvania,” Trump declares.

Santa is now above Copenhagen.
