(KYMA) – La seguridad en la frontera entre San Luis Río Colorado y San Luis, Arizona vuelve a estar en el centro de atención luego de varios incidentes registrados durante los últimos días, hechos que han generado preocupación entre residentes y personas que diariamente cruzan entre ambos países.

Uno de los acontecimientos más alarmantes ocurrió el pasado jueves en la garita internacional de Puerto Fronterizo de San Luis, específicamente en la fila de vehículos con dirección hacia México.

De acuerdo con información preliminar, una persona que presuntamente intentaba huir protagonizó un intercambio de disparos con autoridades estadounidenses justo antes de cruzar hacia territorio mexicano.

Tras el enfrentamiento, el sospechoso logró darse a la fuga, provocando momentos de tensión entre automovilistas y peatones que se encontraban en la zona fronteriza.

El incidente encendió nuevamente las alertas sobre la vulnerabilidad de los cruces internacionales y los riesgos a los que están expuestos quienes utilizan diariamente la garita para actividades laborales, comerciales y familiares.

Residentes de ambos lados de la frontera señalaron su preocupación ante este tipo de hechos violentos, considerando que miles de personas cruzan diariamente entre San Luis Río Colorado y San Luis, una de las zonas con mayor movilidad binacional en la región.

A este panorama se suma otro incidente registrado el pasado sábado por la mañana en San Luis Río Colorado, donde una residente de Arizona sufrió un accidente automovilístico en el cruce de avenida Revolución y calle 34, considerado uno de los sectores con mayor tránsito vehicular de la ciudad.

Autoridades y cuerpos de emergencia atendieron el percance, mientras ciudadanos expresaron preocupación por las condiciones de movilidad y seguridad vial en la zona.

De acuerdo con reportes locales, tan solo ese sábado se registraron 37 accidentes automovilísticos en diferentes puntos de la ciudad, cifra que refleja el incremento en incidentes viales durante los fines de semana y periodos de alta circulación.

Los recientes acontecimientos han puesto nuevamente sobre la mesa la necesidad de fortalecer la coordinación binacional en materia de seguridad pública, vigilancia fronteriza y prevención de accidentes, con el objetivo de proteger tanto a residentes locales como a visitantes que cruzan constantemente entre México y Estados Unidos.

Mientras tanto, ciudadanos continúan solicitando mayor presencia de autoridades, mejores estrategias de prevención y acciones concretas que permitan reducir los riesgos en una de las fronteras más transitadas del noroeste del país.

(CNN) — In President Donald Trump’s telling, he was an hour away from ordering new strikes on Iran when he abruptly announced on social media Monday that he would allow more time for diplomacy.

“They’re loaded to the brim,” he said Tuesday of his armada of warships in the region, “and we were all set to start.”

Exactly how close the war was to restarting is something of an open question. Officials from some Gulf countries, who Trump claimed had urged him to hold off strikes, said they weren’t aware of impending military action.

Other sources said renewed strikes were expected to begin at the start of this week — the same timeline Trump offered up — while two additional sources said they were not anticipated until the end of the week.

Whatever the schedule, Trump’s decision to back away was the latest example of the president threatening to use withering force on Iran, only to suddenly switch gears.

A day after his latest backdown, standing in front of a giant construction pit on the White House South Lawn, the president set a new timeline for Tehran to produce an acceptable deal to end the war.

“I’m saying two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something, maybe early next week,” he said. “A limited period of time.”

Whether the new deadline sticks remains to be seen. Officials say Trump is reluctant to resume the war, far preferring to strike a deal. The military options now before him would extend an unpopular and costly conflict that has caused his approval ratings to sink.

Yet despite Trump’s claims of advancing negotiations, Iran has not publicly backed off some of its core demands. And with a stockpile of enriched uranium still buried deep underground and some of Iran’s missile capabilities still intact, the war has not yet fully accomplished all of Trump’s objectives.

That leaves him in a difficult position as he weighs his next move. Attack options have been under discussion at the White House for at least the past week, but any action was on hold while the president was in China. Back in the US over the weekend, Trump talked over those plans with top advisers, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and special envoy Steve Witkoff at his riverside golf club in Virginia.

The US military has detailed battle plans for a renewed multi-phase air campaign against Iran, including the chosen targets and their grid coordinates and the fleshed-out phases of the campaign, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN.

“They were not f***ing around,” one source said of the advanced nature of the military’s plans.

After growing frustrated with the state of negotiations, Trump had made moves to strike new targets after being given a list of options from senior military advisers, according to a person familiar with the plan.

Gulf leaders call for restraint

But as Trump prepared to give his final authorization, his administration spoke separately with the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who pressed the US to hold off on launching military action in favor of seeing if a diplomatic resolution could be reached, a regional source told CNN.

One regional source said the request was tied to the expectation Iran would retaliate against the Gulf nations

Tardó, pero llegó. Después de tres subcampeonatos consecutivos y un par de décadas de frustraciones, el Arsenal vuelve a ser el rey de la Premier League. Los Gunners cerraron el título este martes por televisión, ya que la matemática les dio el campeonato gracias al empate del Manchester City en su visita al Bournemouth.

Los del norte de Londres habían quedado a cinco puntos de ventaja el lunes, cuando vencieron por la mínima diferencia al descendido Burnley. La igualdad de los Citizens ubica a la gran dinastía de esta era a cuatro unidades de distancia, con solo una jornada por disputar.

Para el Arsenal significa el fin de 22 años de espera. No lograba el título desde la temporada 2003/2004, cuando los “invencibles” de Arsene Wenger pusieron de rodillas a toda Inglaterra. Este es el campeonato número 14 de los Gunners en la primera división, siendo el tercer equipo más ganador de la historia, lejos de los 20 que tienen el Manchester United y el Liverpool. Por detrás viene el City, que si bien durante la era de espera del Arsenal se había puesto a tres títulos, ahora quedó a cuatro, y con la continuidad de Pep Guardiola más en duda que nunca.

Este Arsenal, a diferencia de aquel de Wenger, no se caracterizó por el buen juego ni un fútbol súper ofensivo, sino por una defensa infranqueable. Los de Mikel Arteta apenas recibieron 26 goles en 37 partidos jugados, siendo la valla menos vencida con diferencia (le sigue el City, con 33).

El estratega español mucho tiene que ver con este campeonato, porque después de varios sinsabores en temporadas pasadas, ajustó las piezas correctas en el equipo. La incorporación del argentino Gabriel Heinze (exdefensor del Manchester United y la selección albiceleste) como ayudante técnico claramente dio sus frutos. También lo hizo la compra del sueco Viktor Gyökeres, quien en su primera temporada como Gunner llegó a los 14 goles en la Premier League, siendo el máximo goleador del equipo.

Para Arteta es un logro desde múltiples frentes. Primero, corona un proceso que tuvo muchas decepciones y que había comenzado a poner en tela de juicio su capacidad para ganar trofeos importantes. Además, termina siendo una revancha personal: pasó cinco temporadas como jugador del equipo londinense, sin poder levantar el trofeo, que ahora sí consigue desde el banquillo. También es uno de esos muchos episodios de la saga “el alumno supera al maestro”, ya que el propio Arteta fue durante un tiempo ayudante de Guardiola en el City.

Con una buena defensa y un goleador entre sus filas, el plus acabó siendo el laboratorio de los balones detenidos, aunque no sin polémicas, ya que fueron muchas las veces que sus rivales reclamaron infracciones sobre los arqueros. Sin embargo, para eso están los jueces y el VAR. El Arsenal, mientras tanto, seguirá disfrutando.

El título anticipado le soluciona un dolor de cabeza a Arteta, ya que todavía puede cerrar la temporada como rey de Europa, si vence al Paris Saint-Germain en la final de la Champions League el 30 de mayo. Como el PSG ya abrochó el título en Francia hace unas semanas y ya está pensando en esa final desde hace días, el Arsenal corría con desventaja si aún debía jugarse el título este domingo, cuando se juegue la jornada 38 de la liga inglesa. Ahora, todos los “cañones” apuntan a Luis Enrique y compañía.

(CNN) — It seemed like the end of the road for Ken Paxton.

The Texas attorney general had underperformed expectations in the state’s March 3 Republican primary for Senate, narrowly trailing long-endangered incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Trump was on the verge of endorsing Cornyn, promising to make a choice “soon” and demanding that the candidate he did not endorse drop out. Paxton had made clear he would not abide by such an arrangement, something Trump said was a “bad” move by Paxton.

So Paxton tried something new: At 12:18 p.m. on March 5, he posted on X that he would consider dropping out if Senate Republicans abolished the filibuster to pass the Save America Act, a Trump priority bill to impose new voter ID restrictions. Paxton texted Trump the post to make sure he saw it.

It was a “Hail Mary,” as one person familiar with the matter put it, but it appeared to pay off. Trump was already frustrated that his intentions to endorse Cornyn had been leaked and allies had been calling nonstop to tell him that a Cornyn endorsement would be a betrayal to his loyal base. Trump held off on endorsing in the runoff for 75 days — and then on Tuesday, Trump abruptly gave his support to Paxton.

The chain of events was as exhilarating to Paxton supporters who have long seen him as far more loyal to Trump — and worthy of his endorsement — as it was devastating to many of Cornyn’s colleagues in the Senate.

“This is the president’s party, let’s just be very, very clear,” said Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas, an early Paxton supporter who brought him to this year’s State of the Union. “I think it is incumbent upon members of Congress and others to just remember that — remember that when it comes to the president’s agenda.”

Officials noted that Paxton’s gambit on the legislation paid off with the president and kept him in the mix long enough for the tides to turn in his favor. Sources familiar with the decision-making process said Trump also likes Paxton more and always has, and that it wasn’t a heavy lift to convince him of Cornyn being a fair-weather fan.

White House officials said Trump has also been feeling emboldened after helping unseat Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Saturday and a group of Indiana state lawmakers earlier this month, amounting to a hot streak of political revenge.

While Cornyn and Trump have generally worked well together, the president has not forgotten how Cornyn said in 2023 that Trump’s time “has passed him by,” a comment that Paxton has regularly highlighted — and that Trump alluded to Tuesday.

Trump’s endorsement instantly makes Paxton the front-runner in what had been considered a highly competitive May 26 runoff. Still, the endorsement could saddle Senate GOP leaders with a nominee whom Republican-affiliated groups have spent tens of millions of dollars attacking and portraying as unelectable.

It’s a whirlwind turnaround that Democrats hope will upend the fight for Senate control.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after Trump’s endorsement of Paxton that Democrats are in “much better shape” to win the Texas race. Inside the White House, officials acknowledged there might be work to do to help boost Paxton but brushed off the idea that any Republican was going to be
