La justicia de El Salvadorcondenó a 91 integrantes de la estructura criminal Palma Locos Salvatruchos, grupo vinculado a la Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), por diferentes delitos. Entre los sentenciados se encuentran siete cabecillas de la organización, procesados por agrupaciones ilícitas en perjuicio de la paz pública y, en algunos casos, por tráfico ilícito en perjuicio de la salud pública.

El Tribunal Segundo Contra el Crimen Organizado de San Salvador, a cargo del juez cuarto, determinó penas de hasta 75 años de prisión para los líderes de la estructura, después de un proceso donde se escucharon pruebas sobre el funcionamiento interno y la responsabilidad de cada acusado. La resolución judicial identificó a Hugo José Sánchez Navarro, alias Delincuente, como corredor del programa Cabañas.

También fueron señalados Manuel Antonio Preza Vides (alias Desconocido de Palma), Aníbal Antonio Najarro Serrano (alias Gánster) y Alexander Antonio Murillo Cuéllar (alias Guanaco), como responsables de la clica Palma Locos Salvatruchos de la MS-13.

Otros miembros con cargos de base dentro de la estructura recibieron sentencias de 60 años de prisión; mientras que, quienes ostentaban el rango de homeboy, fueron condenados a 45 años. El tribunal estableció que alias Desconocido de Palma sumó 15 años adicionales por delitos de tráfico ilícito, alcanzando una pena total de 75 años de cárcel.

La sentencia también incluyó a 28 homeboys y nueve chequeos, con penas de 45 y 30 años respectivamente; además de tres pandilleros con rango de observación, que fueron sentenciados a 25 años. Un grupo de 44 colaboradores activos recibió condenas de 20 años, mientras que tres colaboradores adicionales obtuvieron 15 años más por delitos asociados a tráfico ilícito.

La decisión judicial responde a un esfuerzo coordinado entre las autoridades salvadoreñas para desarticular estructuras criminales responsables de delitos graves. La identificación y condena de los líderes representa un golpe significativo contra la organización Palma Locos Salvatruchos, parte de la red de la Mara Salvatrucha en el país.

En paralelo a este proceso, la justicia de El Salvador avanza en el juicio más grande de su historia reciente contra la estructura de la MS-13. El proceso involucra a 485 cabecillas de la organización, quienes enfrentan cargos similares por agrupaciones ilícitas, homicidio, extorsión y otros delitos graves. El tribunal ha escuchado durante meses los testimonios de testigos protegidos y se ha presentado evidencia documental sobre la operación de la pandilla a nivel nacional.

Estejuicio, considerado sin precedentes por su magnitud y por la cantidad de acusados, ha llegado a su etapa final. Las autoridades esperan que las sentencias resultantes sienten un precedente en la lucha contra el crimen organizado y refuercen la política de mano dura adoptada por el Estado salvadoreño.

El proceso judicial ha contado con estrictas medidas de seguridad y con la participación de fiscales especializados, quienes han solicitado la imposición de penas ejemplares para los principales responsables de la estructura. Este caso podría marcar un antes y un después en la estrategia de combate a las pandillas en Centroamérica.

La condena a los 91 miembros de la Palma Locos Salvatruchos y la inminente resolución sobre los 485 cabecillas de la MS-13 evidencian la respuesta del sistema judicial de este país ante el fenómeno de las maras, mismo que ha impactado la vida social y la seguridad en la región.

Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down.

Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and «The View» co-host Ana Navarro for her new book «View From the East Wing: A Memoir,» that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.

But she said when they left the White House in 2025 and his problem persisted, she said she told him he had to go see a urologist and in his first appointment the doctor said, «There’s something there,» and the former president was given a CAT scan.

«I never imagined it would be prostate cancer,» she admitted. «I just never imagined it.»

MEDICAL EXPERT ‘ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED’ BY TIMING OF BIDEN’S PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS

While she said in some cases prostate cancer can be «cured, «the problem with Joe — it’s stage four, and it has metastasized to his bones. So that puts things on a whole different level. I mean, Joe will have to live with cancer for the rest of his life, which means he’s on special medicines.»

She said he also went through radiation, which involved going from where they live in Delaware to Philadelphia constantly for five weeks.

«You know, it takes a toll,» she said, adding that on Friday night her husband was in South Dakota for a Democratic Party event, on Saturday he was at a friend’s wedding, and Sunday he’ll be in Philadelphia.

«He keeps his schedule, but he’s slowed down,» she said. «I mean, stage four cancer is — and he’s 83 — so, I think the mix of everything and the medications that he’s taken has made life a little more difficult these days.»

BIDEN’S FIRST PUBLIC REMARKS SINCE CANCER DIAGNOSIS HONOR GOLD STAR FAMILIES

When asked how she’s been handling the situation, Biden said: «It’s hard to be a caretaker,» noting that the former president wouldn’t want her to phrase it that way, but explaining that she’s the one responsible for all the details.

«I have to make sure he gets the right medications,» she explained. «I’m the one talking to the doctors. I’m the one setting up the appointments. I’m the one to make sure that he eats well.»

Joe Biden announced his cancer diagnosis in May 2025.

Earlier this week, the former first lady told the «Today» show that her husband is «doing OK.»

«He’s out making speeches, and he’s traveling on Amtrak,» she added. «He was just at the Delaware Memorial Bridge for the veteran’s ceremony. So yeah, he’s doing a lot, but he has stage 4 cancer.»

JILL BIDEN REVEALS TO ‘THE VIEW’ IT WAS ‘HEARTBREAKING’ WHEN DEMS ABANDONED JOE AFTER 2024 DEBATE

Biden and Navarro also talked about some other issues she wrote about in her book, including when the former president made the decision to drop out of the 2024 race after his disastrous debate in June 2024.

She said he turned to her while they were at their home in Delaware and told her: «I have no choice.»

BIDEN URGED TO REVEAL DISEASE HISTORY AFTER CANCER DIAGNOSIS

Biden added that it was also «hurtful» to her when she saw Democrats, many of whom had been their friends for decades, publicly calling for Biden to drop out of the race.

But she said Biden reconciled with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was believed to have been privately leading calls for him to leave the race, at the funeral for Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, in January.

The 75-year-old admitted that she still hasn’t spoken to Pelosi. 

She also said she believes there has been a «double standard» in the conversations around her husband’s age and mental acuity when compared to President Donald Trump, who will turn 80 on June 14.

For the next president after Trump leaves office, Biden said she’s looking for someone with integrity, trustworthiness, and empathy, but didn’t name any names.

«They’re the characteristics of the American people,» she said. «That’s who we are.»

A war of words has erupted between U.S. and British officials after a young Briton with a bright future bled out in handcuffs as police took him into custody on suspicion of making racial remarks, only to learn later that his killer fabricated the allegation. 

The State Department issued a harsh rebuke Thursday night amid online outrage stemming from the stabbing of Henry Nowak, and Vice President JD Vance was quick to pile-on, claiming the incident proves that western civilization is at risk.

«Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline,» the State Department wrote Thursday in a viral post on X. «They must be rejected across the West. The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.»

It was the first time the Trump administration commented publicly on the horrific stabbing.

In December 2025, Nowak was returning home from a night playing soccer with friends in the southern England city of Southampton when he encountered 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, a British Sikh man of Indian heritage wearing a turban and carrying a long ceremonial knife.

Nowak was later handcuffed by police after Digwa claimed the student was racist against him, and police refused to believe him when he said he was stabbed. He died while in police custody.

«Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit,» Vance wrote on X in a lengthy post addressing the overseas crime.

«His murder is as tragic as it is enraging,» the vice president continued. «He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.»

He reiterated how a top priority of the Trump administration is working to preserve western civilization by stopping mass migration.

Vance’s post drew an immediate response from across the pond. 

«In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets,» a Downing Street spokesperson said. 

«The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes,» the statement continued. «Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.»

Nowak filmed the initial encounter before his death, where he called Digwa a «bad man.»

«I am a bad man,» Digwa replied, taking offense to the comment. He then stabbed the student five times, including a fatal wound to his chest. What came next sparked worldwide outrage while Digwa, now convicted of murder, was on trial in May.

Body cameras worn by officers show Digwa alleging racial abuse and claiming Nowak removed his turban. The police took Digwa’s word, and handcuffed Nowak when they located him. Footage shows Nowak lying on the ground, repeatedly telling officers he couldn’t breathe.

When Nowak told officers he had been stabbed, one is heard dismissing him with: «Don’t think you have, mate.»

The young student bled to death in police custody.

It was later revealed that Digwa called his mother, Kiran Kaur, who arrived at the crime scene before the police so she could take the murder weapon to their family home and hide it. She was recently found guilty of assisting an offender and will be sentenced July 17.

Digwa was sentenced on June 1 to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years.

Carrying knives in Britain is a heavily regulated practice, and certain types of knives are banned entirely. Digwa’s knife was considered an exception due to his religious beliefs, which also fanned the flames of the controversy surrounding the murder.

British law has a provision allowing Sikhs to carry kirpans, which are ceremonial religious knives. In Digwa’s case, he was carrying an eight-inch blade.

The country’s tightening speech laws have also come to the forefront, with critics arguing that police in Nowak’s case were too blinded by the report of racism to notice he had been mortally wounded. Since the Online Safety Act of 2023 took effect, swaths of Britons have been jailed for internet posts deemed racist by authorities.

AMERICA STILL CAN’T PUT DOWN THE RACE CARD. AND IT’S THE SHAME OF OUR NATION

Police eventually apologized for the way the stabbing was handled.

«I want to say that I am sorry that Henry couldn’t be saved that night. I’m sorry that he was handcuffed and arrested in the moments before he lost consciousness,» Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Robert France of the Hampshire Constabulary said, according to Sky News.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Miss., also responded amid the controversy.

«Britain has a regime willing to jail people for tweets, but unwilling to protect its own citizens from bleeding out in the street,» he said in response to the State Department’s post. «Henry Nowak deserved better. That is what civilizational decline looks like. This is the future the Left is trying to import. We have to stop it.»

So did SpaceX founder and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk, who posted multiple times about the case.

«Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer,» he said in one post that was viewed 28 million times. «Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.»

«The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of ‘racism’ is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!» he said in another, «So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.»
