🏛️⚖️ Supreme Court Upholds Texas Decision on Emergency Abortion Restrictions
Biden Ends Temporary Migration Program for Nationals from Four Countries * Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales Appointed as Tijuana's New Security Secretary Amid High Expectations
Supreme Court maintains Texas abortion law barring emergency procedures
By Lindsay Whitehurst and Jamie Stengle, Associated Press, Washington.- The Supreme Court upheld a Texas court decision that prevents hospitals from being mandated federally to perform abortions that violate Texas law, even in emergencies. This decision underscores the ongoing national contention surrounding abortion regulations following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. The Texas law, which only allows abortions under specific health threat conditions, has been criticized for its ambiguity, leaving medical professionals wary of the severe penalties for potential non-compliance. This ruling aligns with previous judgments that reflect the court's conservative stance on state rights over federal mandates in abortion-related cases.
Biden Ends Temporary Migration Program for Nationals from Four Countries
By Colleen Long, Associated Press, Washington.- President Joe Biden has decided not to renew a two-year program that allowed migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua to enter the U.S. with sponsorship and by air. Initiated in 2022, the program aimed to provide a legal pathway for migrants while the administration toughened measures against illegal border crossings. As the program concludes, those affected must seek other legal immigration statuses or face potential deportation. This move aligns with the administration’s strategy to handle immigration more stringently ahead of the 2024 presidential elections. Homeland Security continues to offer temporary protected status for Venezuelans and Haitians due to the severe conditions in their home countries.
Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales Appointed as Tijuana's New Security Secretary Amid High Expectations
by Ernesto Eslava, Zeta, Tijuana.- Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales has been appointed the new security secretary of Tijuana without presenting a specific work plan but with solid backing due to his extensive intelligence background and ties with President Claudia Sheinbaum. Sánchez Rosales brings over 35 years of intelligence experience in various parts of Mexico, emphasizing advanced technology, strategic strengthening, and crime prevention in his approach to tackling Tijuana's crime issues. His return to Baja California comes after a stint as a consultant and prior roles in state security for Chihuahua and as a regional delegate for Mexico's Civil Intelligence Service (CISEN). Despite nearly unanimous support from the city council, Councilor Rogelia Arzola Santillán abstained from voting, citing the lack of a presented work plan as her reason.
