Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated Monday that she would call for explanations regarding what U.S. and Mexican officials were doing when they died due to a car accident in Mexico.
Sheinbaum said her government would investigate the incident to ensure no laws were broken after the deaths on Sunday, adding that state governments must have authorization from Mexico’s federal government to collaborate with U.S. and other foreign entities «as established by the Constitution,» according to The Associated Press.
The deadly incident, which killed two U.S. embassy personnel and two individuals with the Chihuahua State Investigation Agency (AEI), occurred after a drug-related operation in Mexico.
«It was not an operation that the security cabinet was aware of,» Sheinbaum said, according to the AP. «We were not informed; it was a decision by the Chihuahua government.»

Soros-backed nonprofit accuses NJ Gov Sherrill of spreading ‘MAGA propaganda’ on ICE detainees
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Soros-backed nonprofit organized a demonstration outside of New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill’s office on Monday afternoon, saying the Democratic governor is spreading «MAGA propaganda» and not doing enough for the migrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Delaney Hall in Newark, N.J.
The protest reflected the backlash that Sherrill is facing by far-left members of her own party. On its donation page, Cooper River Indivisible directs donors to the politically powerful Indivisible Project, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group that has been very active in backing Democratic politicians.
They work closely with Indivisible Civics, their 501(c)(3) sister organization.
Indivisible receives money from the Open Society Action Fund, a 501(c)(4), which is backed by notorious Democratic donor George Soros.

MEET THE FAR-LEFT GROUPS FUNDING ANTI-DOGE PROTESTS AT GOP OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
«WE ARE HEADING TO MIKIE SHERRILL’S OFFICE — to demand that she answer for the mess that she has made,» the event’s sign-up page reads on the Mobilize.us platform.
«Governor Sherrill’s response has caused serious harm inside and outside of Delaney Hall. Peaceful protestors and journalists have been arrested, injured, and had their constitutional rights violated, all while GeoGroup Guards and ICE continue to retaliate against strikers,» the announcement continued.
The group is calling on Sherrill to meet with illegal migrants who are detained at the Delaney Hall ICE facility and release young, old or sick detainees. «GeoGroup Guards» is a reference to the security personnel hired by the government contractor, Geo Group Inc., that is running the facility as part of its national contract with ICE.

Cooper River indivisible also accused Sherrill of «inciting violence by siccing the police on peaceful protestors» and said she is spreading «MAGA» propaganda after more than a week of protesting at the ICE facility.
In 2023, Open Society Foundations, through the Open Society Action Fund, issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the Indivisible organization. The grant was «to support the grantee’s social welfare activities,» according to the Open Society Foundations’ website.
Indivisible has also played a lead role in the organization of the «No Kings» protests.

According to the Open Society Foundations’ website, Soros «has given away more than $32 billion of his personal fortune» to the foundations. His son Alex Soros serves as chairman of the board.
«We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,» a spokesperson from Open Society Foundations told Fox News Digital. «Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.»
Protests at Delaney Hall have exploded over the past week. Contrary to the allegations by the demonstrations, local law enforcement hasn’t been involved in arresting agitators or squashing often violent riots but New Jersey State Police did arrest rioters on Friday night.

NEW JERSEY AGITATORS BITE, KICK AND PUNCH ICE AGENTS AS DELANEY HALL CLASHES CONTINUE; 9 MORE ARRESTED: DHS
On Saturday morning, Sherrill said that state police were present at the riot to protect the agitators from ICE agents, but the violent battle that took place the night before was mainly between local law enforcement and the rioters, according to first-hand witness by Fox News Digital.
State troopers, including some on horseback, deployed heavy riot control tactics on Friday night, including noise bombs, tear gas grenades, pepper spray and riot shields in an attempt to disperse the mob. The police had established barriers for the zone earlier in the afternoon, which rioters commandeered to fight back against police.
«My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe – and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety,» Sherrill posted to X Saturday morning. «We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will not accept that risk.»

By Saturday afternoon, the New Jersey governor held a press conference, issuing a list of demands to the Department of Homeland Security, including visitation for families and medical care for the sick and vulnerable.

A source at DHS told Fox News Digital that the department wouldn’t accept her demands, and that visitation was only suspended due to the violent riots. The source also said that ICE operations will continue as normal now that Delaney Hall is secure, allowing visitations to resume.
Fox News Digital reached out to Indivisible and Sherrill but did not receive responses.

Chile: en medio de incidentes, José Antonio Kast habló en el Congreso y dijo que el ajuste causará “dolor”
El presidente de Chile, José Antonio Kast, aseguró este lunes ante el Parlamento que su política de austeridad causará “dolor”, pero reiteró que no habrá recortes en ayudas y derechos sociales.
“No será rápido, va a haber dolor. No les voy a prometer milagros, pero sí les prometo que vamos a recuperar el orden de las cuentas públicas”, indicó el mandatario durante su primer discurso sobre el estado del país en la sede del Congreso, en Valparaíso.
Además, afirmó: “Vamos a devolverle credibilidad a las cifras fiscales de Chile y vamos a poner el crecimiento económico en el centro”.
A pocas cuadras de la sede del Congreso, se registraron enfrentamientos entre encapuchados y carabineros. También se reportaron lanzamientos de gases lacrimógenos y de agua, además de barricadas levantadas por manifestantes, informó el portal Emol.
Un duro plan de ajuste
Kast dijo que la situación económica y fiscal de Chile “es incluso más compleja” de lo que creía antes de llegar al poder, el 11 de marzo, y justificó su ambicioso plan de ajustes, con el que aspira a recortar 6000 millones de dólares en 18 meses.
“Habrá presiones, habrá ruido, habrá días duros. Nuestro Gobierno no se va a desviar del camino. Ante el dilema entre la popularidad y la responsabilidad, elegimos siempre la responsabilidad. Porque la popularidad pasa, pero las consecuencias de gobernar mal las pagan, durante años, las familias chilenas”, indicó el líder del Partido Republicano chileno.

A pocos días de llegar al poder, el gobernante ordenó un recorte del 3% promedio en todos los ministerios, que hasta ahora alcanza los 2000 millones de dólares en total, según datos oficiales.
El Ministerio de Salud es el más perjudicado, con un recorte de 462 millones de dólares, equivalente al 2,5% de su presupuesto, mientras que Cultura es que el sufre el mayor porcentaje de ajuste, cercano a un 10 %.
El mandatario insistió este lunes en que los recortes no van a afectar a ayudas o derechos sociales y que los ajustes están dirigidos a mejorar la eficiencia de las distintas políticas y programas públicos.
“Estamos cumpliendo con nuestro compromiso de campaña de hacer un ajuste fiscal profundo, sin tocar los beneficios sociales”, indicó el jefe de Estado, que recordó que en 2025 cerró con un déficit estructural del 3,7 % del PIB, “más del doble del déficit del 1,6% que se había comprometido”.

La economía del mayor productor de cobre del mundo creció un 2,5desempleo superó el 8 %.
Horas antes de que Kast ofreciera su primera “Cuenta Pública” en el Parlamento, el Banco Central chileno publicó que la economía del país sudamericano se contrajo el 1,2 % interanual, lo que supone la cuarta caída consecutiva y la mayor desde marzo de 2023.
La semana pasada, además, el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE) informó que el desempleo de abril superó la barrera del 9 %.
“Hace poco más de una década, Chile crecía por sobre el 5% y creaba miles de empleos. Ese Chile se estancó. El estancamiento no hace ruido, no sale en los titulares, no tiene el dramatismo de una catástrofe, pero destruye”, agregó el presidente.
Kast, el primer mandatario de extrema derecha desde el regreso a la democracia al país austral, ha tenido un inicio de mandato complejo, marcado por una abrupta caída de su popularidad en las encuestas y por un anticipado cambio de gabinete, apenas dos meses después de llegar al cargo, en el que removió a su vocera y a la ministra de Seguridad.
Los primeros dos meses del ultraderechista en el poder han estado marcados también por la tramitación en el Parlamento de una megarreforma, que contempla significativas disminuciones de impuestos para las empresas, que está considerada su proyecto estrella y con la que busca elevar el crecimiento al 4 % al final de su mandato, así como fomentar el empleo.
