(CNN) — US Secret Service agents and Palm Beach County law enforcement shot and killed an armed man who unlawfully entered the secure perimeter at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida on Sunday morning, the Secret Service said.

The president and first lady were at the White House in Washington, DC, at the time of the incident. Trump was briefed on the incident Sunday morning, a White House official told CNN.

The incident comes amid a backdrop of heightened political violence in the US. In July 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt while campaigning for his second term in Pennsylvania. Another man who planned to assassinate the president at his Florida golf course in September 2024 was sentenced this month to life in prison.

Political violence has targeted Republican and Democratic figures alike. Last summer, Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband were shot and killed, and conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in September.

A White man in his early 20s entered the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago around 1:30 a.m. ET before he was shot by agents and a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said. The man appeared to be carrying a shotgun and a fuel can, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference Sunday.

The man entered Mar-a-Lago through the north gate as an employee was walking out. He made it about 20 or 30 yards before he was confronted by law enforcement, officials said.

When a deputy and two Secret Service agents encountered the man, they ordered him to drop the items. The man dropped the gas can and “raised the shotgun to a shooting position,” Bradshaw said.

The deputy and agents then fired their weapons at him and he was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff said. He added that the officers involved were wearing body cameras.

The man is from North Carolina and was reported missing Saturday by his mother, law enforcement officials said. His name is being withheld until his family is notified of his death.

The FBI is leading the investigation, with teams collecting evidence and looking into his background and motive.

No law enforcement officials were harmed in the incident, authorities said.

The Secret Service agents involved will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation “in accordance with agency policy,” a Secret Service statement said. Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn said the agency’s director, Sean Curran, is traveling to Florida for “after-actions” and that “our teams remain fully engaged

(CNN) — The US government urged Americans in several Mexican states, including popular vacation spots in Jalisco, Baja California and Quintana Roo, to shelter in place as violence erupted across the country following the death of cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.

While airports are operating normally, some domestic and international flights have been cancelled in the western Mexican cities of Guadelajara and Puerto Vallarta.

Dallas resident Adryan Moorefield was set to travel home from Puerto Vallarta on Sunday but awoke to the news that members of organized crime groups had set buses on fire, blocked roads, and clashed with authorities.

“It was such a complete shocker, and it almost felt like being in the twilight zone,” Moorefield told CNN. “We’ve been to PV before and thought that this would be a no brainer place to come and do a quick, easy beach vacation.”

American tourist Jim Beck told CNN he ventured outside his hotel in Puerto Vallarta to get breakfast on Sunday and saw “taxi cabs blown up all over town, blocking the roads.”

“Then immediately, everyone was running down the street, screaming and yelling, and they told everyone to get back to their hotels,” Beck said.

He’s been locked inside his hotel since then, waiting for guidance about when it might be safe to go outside.

Mari, another tourist who asked to go by her first name for privacy reasons, said her young family has been sheltering in their vacation rental and watching the unrest unfold outside.

“We have two little kids, and it’s really scary,” she said. “The entire bay was just covered in fire,” she added. “For hours, there was just a billow of smoke, hovering. You could not see anything across.”

If you are currently in the affected areas in Mexico, here is what to do, as per the US State Department guidance:

• Seek shelter and minimize unnecessary movements. Remain in your residences or hotels.
• Avoid areas around law enforcement activity.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Monitor local media for updates.
• Follow the directions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911.
• Avoid crowds.
• Keep family and friends advised of your location and well-being via phone, text, and social media.

El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, quien inicia una gira de libros que muchos ven como preludio a una candidatura presidencial, habló con CNN sobre la posibilidad de competir contra la exvicepresidenta Kamala Harris, otra figura de larga trayectoria en la política californiana.

“¿Qué pasa si y cuando esas carreras paralelas se cruzan y chocan?”, preguntó Dana Bash de CNN a Newsom en una entrevista que se emitió el domingo.

“Bueno, yo soy San Francisco ahora, ella es LA”, dijo Newsom al principio. “Así que hay un poco de distancia entre nosotros dos. Ya sabes, el destino lo determinará”.

“Nunca me he interpuesto en su ambición, jamás”, añadió. “No lo he hecho. Y no imagino que lo haría en el futuro”.

“Pero si se postulan uno contra el otro para presidente”, continuó Bash. Newsom respondió: “Sí, yo sólo – eso es destino. No… ya sabes, solo puedes controlar lo que puedes controlar”.

Newsom ha sido franco sobre su interés en la contienda presidencial de 2028. Harris optó por no postularse para suceder a Newsom en la gobernación de California, pero ha dejado abierta la posibilidad de una tercera candidatura presidencial.

Harris fue fiscal de distrito en San Francisco antes de ser elegida procuradora general de California y luego senadora de Estados Unidos antes de servir como vicepresidenta. Newsom fue alcalde de San Francisco antes de convertirse en vicegobernador y luego gobernador.

Los dos han chocado en ocasiones – Harris escribió en su libro más reciente, “107 Days”, que cuando llamó a Newsom para pedirle su apoyo después de que el expresidente Joe Biden pusiera fin a su campaña de reelección, Newsom respondió por mensaje de texto: “Caminando. Te llamo de vuelta”, y nunca lo hizo. (Newsom, quien sí apoyó rápidamente a Harris, luego dijo a los periodistas que la llamada venía de un número desconocido).

Hablando con Bash, Newsom enfatizó que sopesaría cuidadosamente la decisión con su familia. Cuando le preguntaron si su familia estaba de acuerdo, Newsom respondió: “No lo sé. Depende del día”.

Y compartió las preocupaciones de uno de sus hijos sobre una posible candidatura presidencial.

“Mi hijo… fue muy contundente, me mandó un mensaje hace unos meses cuando hubo un titular que sugería que había tomado alguna decisión, y me dice: ‘Papá, ¿te vas a postular para presidente?’”, contó Newsom.

“Le dije que no, que tomaríamos esa decisión como familia. Y él me dice: ‘No puedes’. Y le pregunté por qué. Él dice: ‘Soy demasiado joven. Necesitas pasar más tiempo con nosotros’”, agregó.

“O sea, ¿cómo manejas eso?”, dijo.

“¿Cómo manejas eso?”, replicó Bash.

“Exactamente, te lo pregunto a ti”, respondió Newsom con una sonrisa.

Mexico City (CNN) — Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, the powerful and long-pursued head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one of the world’s most-wanted traffickers, died following a Mexican military operation on Sunday, handing the country a consequential victory as it looks to show tangible results to the Trump administration.

Oseguera, a former police officer, led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, or CJNG, as it became one of the “most powerful and ruthless criminal organizations” inside Mexico, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

Violence erupted in several states in Mexico after security forces from multiple federal branches of Mexico’s military carried out the operation in the town of Tapalpa in the western state of Jalisco. Officials said suspected members of organized crime unleashed a wave of violence following the operation, torching buses and businesses while clashing with security forces.

The US State Department urged American nationals in parts of Mexico to “seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels” until further notice.

Mexico’s Secretariat of National Defense said that US authorities provided “complementary information” that supported the operation. A US defense official confirmed that an interagency US task force “played a role” in the operation. However, the precise role that the US played is still unclear.

Since its establishment in January, the Joint Interagency Task Force-Counter Cartel has regularly worked with the Mexican military through US Northern Command to combat cartel operations along the US-Mexico border, the US official said.

“However, I want to emphasize that this was a (Mexican military) operation, so the success is theirs,” the official noted.

During the raid, CJNG members traded fire with the government forces, resulting in four gang members being killed at the scene, the defense ministry said.

Osegeura and two others were seriously injured and died as they were being transported via aircraft to Mexico City, according to the ministry.

Three Mexican military personnel were also injured in the operation and transferred to a hospital in Mexico City for treatment.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum lauded the work of the agencies involved in the mission.

Mexico’s various state governments are working in “full coordination” to address the disorder, Sheinbaum said on Sunday, adding that “activities are proceeding normally” in most of the country.

“We work every day for the peace, security, justice, and well-being of Mexico,” she said.

Flights canceled as chaos erupts across Mexico

The military operation triggered a series of violent events across the state of Jalisco, which is scheduled to host four
