π¨π¨βπ©βπ§ Army Sergeant's Family Torn Apart as ICE Deports His Wife
Sonner Kehrt, The War Horse.- U.S. Army Sergeant Ayssac Correaβs world was shattered on March 13 when he learned his wife, Shirly Guardado, was detained by ICE. Despite Correa's military service and the coupleβs efforts to obtain legal status for Guardado, the government deported her to Honduras in May, leaving behind their young son. Correa's emotional journey sheds light on the challenges military families face when dealing with the U.S. immigration system, where there is no guaranteed path to citizenship or protections against deportation. As families continue to struggle with separation, advocates are calling for better protections for military families, arguing that separation affects not only family stability but also military readiness.
π«π Texasβ Dream Act Revocation Leaves Undocumented Students in Limbo
Daniel Perez, El Paso Matters.- Texasβs decision to revoke in-state tuition for undocumented college students has left thousands uncertain about their futures, particularly in cities like El Paso. The law, which had been in place for over two decades, allowed undocumented students who met specific criteria to attend public colleges at in-state rates. The recent revocation followed a court ruling and has left students and local universities confused, as they work to help affected students navigate the change. With estimates showing up to 73,000 undocumented students in Texas, lawmakers and advocates warn that this decision could harm the state's economy and workforce, causing a potential loss of skilled labor.

Grupo REFORMA.- Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, attended the G7 plenary in Canada as a guest, where she took the opportunity to advocate for migrants.

She argued that their contributions to society, including paying taxes and abiding by laws, should be recognized. She also called for a focus on creating well-paying jobs and ensuring dignity in people's lives, particularly in their countries of origin. Additionally, Sheinbaum proposed a "Summit for Economic Well-being" involving G7 countries, CELAC, and other partners to foster fair trade and sustainable development, based on Mexico's vision of diplomacy over armamentism.
π¨ El Flaquito Arrested in Tijuana: Alleged Cartel Leader Behind Violent Drug Trafficking Routes
Alexandra Mendoza, San Diego Union-Tribune.- Pablo Edwin Huerta, also known as El Flaquito, was arrested early Tuesday in Tijuana by Mexico's National Guard. Huerta is believed to be the leader of a violent drug trafficking organization in the region, controlling key drug routes to the U.S. He was apprehended during a coordinated operation involving multiple federal agencies, resulting in the seizure of drugs, weapons, and other illicit materials. While Huerta is tied to the Arellano FΓ©lix cartel, Mexican authorities have refrained from officially naming the organization. Baja California officials highlighted Huertaβs role in generating violence and confirmed security reinforcements in the areas where he operated.
