Ángeles Mariscal, Chiapas Paralelo. - The body of Father Marcelo Pérez Pérez, assassinated on October 20, was received by thousands of Indigenous people in San Andrés Larrainzar, Chiapas. The funeral procession, held under rain, echoed with chants for justice against organized crime, which the priest actively denounced throughout his life. After being shot nine times, including a fatal shot to the head, Marcelo was remembered for his tireless advocacy for human rights and peace. As mourners carried his casket to the Guadalupe Parish, they demanded accountability for his murder. The Chiapas Attorney General announced the creation of a specialized investigative group to pursue the case. National and international organizations condemned the assassination, emphasizing the need for structural changes to address the violence plaguing Chiapas and ensure the safety of those who, like Father Marcelo, dedicate their lives to defending human rights.
🌍🤔 Nevada's Immigration Debate: Nuance Lost in Political Black-and-White Narratives
Will Weissert, AP. - In Nevada, immigration is a complex issue affecting daily life, yet political discourse often oversimplifies it. Residents like Janille Baker, who operates a ranch reliant on Mexican guest workers, express frustration with anti-immigration sentiments when local labor supply remains inadequate. With 19% of Nevada’s population foreign-born and 9% of the workforce undocumented, immigration has become a pivotal topic as the election approaches. Candidates like Donald Trump advocate for stringent deportation policies, while Vice President Kamala Harris promotes paths to citizenship. Amid fears of mass deportations, many immigrant workers, like hotel maids and ranch hands, contribute significantly to the economy. The tension between securing borders and acknowledging the workforce's reliance on immigrant labor illustrates the nuance of Nevada's immigration landscape, contrasting starkly with the rigid political narratives dominating the campaign trail.
💔🔍 Governor Rubén Rocha Moya Reveals Criminal Groups Have List of Targeted Individuals in Culiacán
Karen Sánchez, Infobae México. - Governor Rubén Rocha Moya announced in a press conference that criminal groups in Sinaloa have compiled a list of individuals they intend to abduct. This revelation follows the discovery by the Army of documents containing names of potential victims during recent operations. Rocha emphasized that, upon discovering this plan, the military promptly visited the homes of those listed to provide protection. He assured the public that rigorous measures are being taken to combat forced disappearances, which have surged amidst violence linked to rival factions in the region. The ongoing conflict, exacerbated by the alleged betrayal of cartel leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, has led to increased violence, including robberies and disappearances, primarily affecting individuals aged 20 to 40. Families of the disappeared also face threats from extortionists posing as kidnappers, demanding payments for supposed releases.
