Mexico vows US will pay after ICE fatally shoots illegal migrant who allegedly attempted to ram agent with car
Mexico questions FBI role in Sinaloa Cartel abduction
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum strongly criticizes the U.S. government for its alleged involvement in the 2024 abduction of former Sinaloa Cartel boss ‘El Mayo’ Zambada. Sheinbaum explicitly states the U.S. lied about its participation, claiming a violation of Mexican sovereignty. This incident raises serious questions about diplomatic relations between the two nations and American intervention in Mexico.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum vowed to pursue «significant legal measures» against the United States after a Mexican national was fatally shot during an ICE operation in Texas.
Mexican officials counted 17 cases of Mexican nationals who have died in U.S. immigration custody, while Sheinbaum focused on Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal migrant who has lived in the United States for decades.
DHS officials claimed Araujo was the subject of an ICE arrest operation when an agent shot him in self-defense because he allegedly ignored orders and allegedly attempted to ram the agent.

During Sheinbaum’s daily «Mañanera del Pueblo» press availability in Mexico City, she laid out her planned escalation of objections against U.S. immigration enforcement’s behavior.
«Our goal is to go beyond diplomatic notes and the representations we made to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. We cannot tolerate the mistreatment of our fellow citizens, our brothers and sisters, in the United States. So, we are proposing further measures,» Sheinbaum said in Spanish.
Sheinbaum said the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs will present the measures to Washington, and commented on Araujo’s death.

«This occurred in the context of detention, even though their only offense was lacking documentation — and this despite having been hired by a U.S. company.»
She said the U.S. has no reason to hold people like Araujo in detention or allegedly «subject [them] to violence.»
«We are therefore preparing, obviously, more significant legal measures.»

On Thursday, Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said he is requesting criminal charges be brought in connection with the 17 Mexican nationals who died in U.S. custody, according to the AP, which reported the requests will be sent to the Justice Department and various state attorneys general.
Multiple reports suggested Sheinbaum’s demands would have no legal effect in U.S. courts.
Mexico City has claimed 14 of the 17 died in custody while three have been killed during active DHS operations, according to the outlet.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Justice Department and DHS for comment. The White House directed Fox News Digital to DHS.
Araujo, 52, was reportedly transporting workers to a jobsite for a homebuilding company in the Magnolia Park section of Houston.
As critics disputed the government’s recounting of events, objections arose over the lack of bodycams on the agents on-scene.

A DHS spokesperson defended the agents, telling Fox News they had not been issued body-worn cameras because of the repercussions of the Democrat-backed agency shutdown earlier this year.
«The process of purchasing and issuing body-worn cameras to all of our ICE field offices was interrupted by the Democrats multiple government shutdowns. Body cameras have been deployed to more than half the field offices, with the remaining half to receive them in the next 60 days,» a spokesperson said, while noting a 1,300% increase in assaults against agents during the same period.
Meanwhile, advocacy group Voto Latino condemned the Araujo incident, saying that the Mexican national should still be alive.

«His story is the embodiment of what it means to seek the American Dream — the same dream that drives so many of us to call this nation home. Lorenzo called the United States home for nearly 35 years, and his family deserves immediate answers that come from a completely independent process, not from the very agency that upended their lives,» Voto Latino executive director Beatriz Lopez said in a statement, which also called for Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s resignation.
Asked about Sheinbaum’s warning, an ICE spokesperson defended the agency and the accounting of events depicting Araujo as trying to hit an agent.

«[He] refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense,» the spokesperson said.
«DHS-OIG is leading an investigation into the agent-involved shooting. FBI Houston is leading an investigation into the potential assault on a federal law enforcement officer. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available.»

Intel expert says Singham network is more than a nonprofit scandal—it’s a security threat
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An intelligence expert warned that far-left sugar daddy Neville Roy Singham’s dark money network is a threat to national security, and said an ongoing federal grand jury probe into the China-based tech tycoon’s funding of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations is warranted.
Adam Sohn, co-founder and CEO of the Network Contagion Research Institute, said Singham’s network is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into nonprofit political advocacy organizations, including the People’s Forum, Breakthrough news, Tri-Continental, the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Those groups are mounting highly choreographed protests across the nation over a variety of left-wing causes and issues.
«Without his money, these nonprofits have no reason for existence,» Sohn said. «I think Americans are seeing what this ecosystem looks like in the streets of our country. These aren’t protests, it’s coordinated chaos and attacks on infrastructure.»

CRUZ PUSHES BILL TO HOLD TAX-EXEMPT SPONSORS ACCOUNTABLE AS DOJ PROBES SINGHAM NETWORK
Singham, a 72-year-old Marxist who sold his tech company for $800 million in 2017 and now lives in Shanghai, is known to fund pro-Chinese Communist Party groups that operate in the U.S. He has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.
Fox News Digital reported last week that Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized a grand jury in Manhattan to issue subpoenas as part of a probe of Singham’s financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country’s most powerful districts for federal prosecutions.
Singham hasn’t responded to repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

Nonprofits in Singham’s network mobilize agitators across the country to engage in demonstrations, including some which have resulted in clashes between federal and local law enforcement.
PROBE INTO ‘SUBVERSIVE’ ANTI-AI SINGHAM NETWORK IS ‘ENORMOUS,’ FORMER TREASURY ADVISOR SAYS
Sohn said Singham’s network has also fought against the building of data centers and the advancement of artificial intelligence in the U.S. While environmental concerns are usually cited by opponents of the data centers, proponents say blocking them could put the U.S. behind China in the AI race.
Researchers at the Bitcoin Policy Institute released a report last week that said an estimated $23.6 billion in proposed AI and data center investment has been delayed, scaled back or blocked in campaigns where the Party for Socialism and Liberation served as «a critical mobilizer.»
Sohn said his organization has provided information to the Southern District of New York surrounding the foreign-backed influence on U.S. AI policy.
CHINA’S IRAN TIES COMPLICATE TRUMP-XI SUMMIT AS TENSIONS TEST US LEVERAGE
«They’re functioning as unregistered foreign agents, [with] ties to Venezuela, ties to Iran, North Korea, Russia, Cuba,» Sohn said. «This same organizing muscle that’s been shutting down bridges, shutting down airports, attacking police officers, they’re now redeployed onto the artificial intelligence the United States is trying to engage in with China and other countries.»
Sohn alleged that his organization «had some recent data that shows that Iranian operatives are formally partnered with the Singham networks,» though Fox News Digital was unable to independently verify the claim.
The federal grand jury probe of Singham is part of a slew of investigations that includes ones launched by Congressional committees and top lawmakers in Washington D.C.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon in New York earlier this year, where, according to sources familiar with the meeting, he pressed the bank to assist the Justice Department’s investigation into Singham’s financial network.
During the meeting, Bessent warned that Goldman Sachs itself could come under scrutiny over its alleged role in facilitating the movement of Singham’s funds and encouraged Solomon to fully cooperate with federal investigators.

A source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital that the discussion was cordial, not contentious, and that Solomon expressed a willingness to aid the Justice Department’s investigation.
«All distributions from Mr. Singham’s donor-advised fund were made to legally recognized nonprofit organizations, as determined by the IRS, a Goldman Sachs spokesperson told Fox News Digital. «No distributions have been made from the account since August 2023, and it was closed in early 2024.»

Rusia lanzó una tercera oleada de misiles balísticos contra Kiev en menos de una semana: al menos 11 heridos
Al menos 11 personas, incluido un niño, resultaron heridos en Kiev tras un nuevo ataque ruso contra la capital. Es la tercera vez en la semana que Moscú ataca deliberadamente la capital del país. El alcalde, Vitali Klitschko, señaló que cuatro de las víctimas están hospitalizadas en centros sanitarios de la ciudad. Las demás fueron atendidas en el lugar por los médicos.
Las autoridades registraron impactos e incendios en los distritos de Solomianskyi, Darnytskyi y Dniprovskyi. En Solomianskyi, un incendio se desató tras el impacto en un edificio de oficinas y almacenes de tres plantas. El Servicio Estatal de Emergencias de Ucrania informó horas más tarde que el fuego fue extinguido. Además, una locomotora ferroviaria resultó dañada por la onda expansiva. En Darnytskyi, un proyectil impactó en la calzada, provocó el incendio de un cuadro de control de semáforos y la explosión de ventanas en edificios residenciales cercanos. Dniprovskyi sufrió un incendio en la zona de edificios no residenciales
“El enemigo está atacando la capital con misiles. ¡Por favor, permanezcan en lugares seguros!”, informó durante la madrugada de este domingo (horario local) el jefe de la administración militar, Tymur Tkachenko, vía redes sociales antes del primer estruendo que generó pánico entre los habitantes de Kiev.
Los periodistas en la ciudad reportaron al menos cinco explosiones, luego de que las autoridades advirtieran sobre el ataque. Las sirenas de alarma aérea comenzaron a sonar minutos después de la primera detonación, de acuerdo con los testigos.
“En el distrito de Dnipro, estamos registrando las consecuencias del ataque. Un edificio civil no residencial resultó dañado en el distrito de Svyatoshyn como consecuencia del ataque. Estamos esclareciendo los detalles”, agregó Tkachenko en otro mensaje.
El pasado 8 de julio, tropas rusas atacaron los distritos de Svyatoshynskyi y Desnyanskyi en Kiev utilizando drones y misiles. Como resultado, tres personas murieron y 16 resultaron heridas.
En medio de los ataques casi diarios del Kremlin, Ucrania creará un comando de “impacto de largo alcance” dentro de sus fuerzas armadas, según anunció el presidente Volodimir Zelensky, en momentos en que la campaña de Kiev contra la infraestructura energética y logística rusa obligó a Moscú a prohibir exportaciones de diésel y restringir el transporte marítimo cerca del mar de Azov, que conecta con el mar Negro.
Desde hace meses, drones de ataque ucranianos golpean infraestructuras energéticas clave a miles de kilómetros dentro de Rusia, en una estrategia que Kiev presenta como sanciones de largo alcance contra el principal financiador del presupuesto estatal ruso. En las últimas semanas, Ucrania reportó ataques casi diarios, y las autoridades insisten en que consideran legítimo llevar la guerra al territorio ruso, más de cuatro años después del inicio de la invasión a gran escala.
“Hoy firmé un decreto que establece un comando especial dentro de las Fuerzas Armadas, un comando destinado a tener un impacto a largo plazo y, en efecto, global sobre Rusia en respuesta a esta guerra”, anunció Zelensky en su mensaje vespertino a la nación.
Cabe subrayar que al menos 265 civiles murieron y 1.816 personas resultaron heridas en Ucrania durante junio a causa de los ataques lanzados por el Kremlin, según informó el jueves Naciones Unidas. Esta cifra constituye el mayor número combinado de víctimas civiles en un solo mes desde las primeras etapas de la invasión a gran escala iniciada por Moscú en febrero de 2022.
La advertencia fue presentada ante el Consejo de Seguridad por la secretaria general adjunta de la ONU para Asuntos Políticos, Rosemary DiCarlo, quien señaló que los datos de la Oficina del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos (ACNUDH) muestran un aumento sostenido del impacto de la guerra sobre la población civil.
