Entre aplausos y lágrimas, así trasladaron el cuerpo del papa Francisco a la Basílica de San Pedro

Los restos del papa Francisco llegaron esta mañana a la basílica de San Pedro, donde permanecerán durante tres días en la capilla ardiente para que miles de fieles puedan darle un último adiós.
El féretro de madera abierto fue llevado en procesión desde la capilla de Santa Marta, donde falleció el lunes a los 88 años, acompañado de cardenales y guardias suizos y al ritmo de plegarias y repique de campanas.

Roma espera medio millón de fieles
Roma se prepara para recibir a decenas de miles de católicos en los próximos días. Cuando su predecesor Benedicto XVI murió el 31 de diciembre de 2022, 200.000 personas se recogieron ante su ataúd.
Pero con su estilo austero y cordial, el jesuita argentino despertó un mayor fervor popular durante sus 12 años de pontificado, que le valió también críticas del sector más conservador de la Iglesia católica.

Para acceder a la basílica de San Pedro, los fieles deben pasar por controles de seguridad similares a los de los aeropuertos, colocando sus pertenencias en escáneres de rayos X y atravesando detectores de metales.
Grupos de policías uniformados montan guardia en las distintas entradas vigilando las tranquilas colas, y algunos patrullan también por las calles que conducen a la basílica.

Los presidentes que irán al funeral
Muchos dirigentes ya anunciaron además que viajarán al Vaticano para la misa funeral prevista el sábado en la mañana en la plaza de San Pedro. El presidente Javier Milei, que insultó incluso en el pasado a su compatriota, fue uno de los primeros en confirmar su presencia.
Donald Trump, al que Francisco criticó por su política antiinmigrantes, también asistirá, al igual que el francés Emmanuel Macron y el ucraniano Volodimir Zelenski. El cardenal Kevin Joseph Farrell despide al papa Francisco. (Foto: AFP/Vatican Media).
Otros de los dirigentes previstos son el brasileño Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, el ecuatoriano Daniel Noboa, el primer ministro británico Keir Starmer así como el rey Felipe VI de España y el secretario general de la ONU, António Guterres, entre otros.
El ministro italiano del Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, aseguró que las autoridades esperan la llegada a Roma de entre 150 y 170 delegaciones extranjeras, así como de decenas de miles de personas más.
Arrancó la cuenta regresiva hacia el cónclave
La muerte de Francisco también activó la cuenta regresiva para elegir a su sucesor en la santa sede.
El cónclave, todavía sin fecha, para elegir al nuevo sumo pontífice debe celebrarse en un plazo de entre 15 y 20 días desde su muerte. Más de dos tercios de los 135 cardenales electores fueron nombrados por el difunto papa.
Unos 60 purpurados presentes ya en Roma participaron el martes en una primera “congregación general” para elegir la fecha del funeral y otra nueva reunión, con el camarlengo Kevin Farrell al frente, está prevista este miércoles por la tarde.

ICE director says Portland facility faces violence with ‘little help from local police’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Federal immigration officials say their Portland, Oregon, facility has come under nightly attack, with little help from local police because of political directives from city leaders.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bill Melugin, Cammila Wamsley, director of Portland’s ICE office, said the facility has faced violence for more than 100 consecutive nights, with Portland police largely absent under guidance from the mayor and city council.
«I just, I can’t figure out what’s happening at the FDA. I’m totally baffled by it,» Wamsley said, describing her frustration at seeing federal staff attacked outside the building while officers inside lack jurisdiction to intervene. «It’s frustrating for us to watch people be attacked on the street and know that we don’t have the authority to be able to really step in unless there’s some nexus to federal law.»
She said nightly protests have escalated beyond chants and signs, with bottle rockets striking the ICE building, rocks shattering windows, lasers targeting officers’ eyes and barricades blocking vehicles.

Wamsley said protesters have followed ICE staff members home and doxxed at least six employees.
«Later, towards the evening and around dark, there are a lot of folks that come up dressed in all black,» she explained. «They are here to wreak havoc. They’ll block our cars, throw paint, damage property and even try to follow our folks home.»
She warned that when crowds swell quickly, the violence becomes more dangerous.

«We’ve seen it before. The folks here can go from a crowd of 50 to a crowd of 1,000 in 30 minutes,» she explained. «Sometimes we only have 20 officers here. We would not be able to defend the building with that show of force.»
Wamsley said the Portland Police Department has been slow to respond — and sometimes doesn’t respond at all — because of city policy. She explained that assaults have occurred outside and across the street from the building, but police have either taken too long to arrive or not shown up at all.
«That is not the stance they would take six blocks from here, but it is the stance they take with us because of guidance from the mayor and city council,» Wamsley said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Portland mayor’s office and police department for comment.
Still, Wamsley said ICE staff remain committed to their mission despite the unrest.
«The people that work here are here to serve the American public,» she said. «They are here to enforce the same immigration laws we’ve had in place since the 1950s. Nothing has changed in that regard. We come to work every day. We do our job the way we have been doing it, and we’ll continue to do that.»

Todd Rignel, assistant special agent for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Oregon, said federal agencies are targeting Antifa-linked groups they blame for organizing much of the unrest.
«They’re not just facing HSI. They’re facing the FBI, ATF, DEA, IRS — all of these agencies,» he said. «That’s a force to be reckoned with.»
Portland remains a flashpoint for unrest with the ICE facility at the center of nightly confrontations.
President Donald Trump announced plans to send 200 National Guard troops to Portland to support immigration authorities. Officials said the troops would be stationed near protest areas.

The warnings follow an attack on an ICE facility in Dallas Sept. 24. Authorities said two detainees were killed and another was hospitalized after a gunman opened fire before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot.
Investigators said shell casings recovered bore an «ANTI-ICE» message.

Russian leader responds to American conservative’s murder: ‘A disgusting atrocity’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said the assassination of Charlie Kirk was a sign of a «deep rift» in American society, while offering his condolences to the family of the late conservative activist.
Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi at a forum of Russian experts, Putin addressed the killing, according to Reuters.
«This is a disgusting atrocity, especially since it was broadcast live. We all saw it. It was truly horrific,» Putin said. «First and foremost, I extend my condolences to Mr. Kirk’s family and all his loved ones. We sympathize and empathize.

«What happened is a reflection of a deep division within society. In the United States, I don’t believe there is any need to escalate the situation externally, as the country’s political leadership is working to restore order domestically,» he added.
Kirk was shot and killed in September while speaking at Utah Valley University.
His alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, faces seven charges, including aggravated homicide, which carries the potential death penalty; felony discharge of a firearm; obstruction and witness tampering.
Robinson returned to court Monday and is scheduled to appear again Oct. 30. Prosecutors said they had already gathered «voluminous» evidence against him.

Kirk’s murder has intensified debate over political violence in the United States. Republican leaders have urged Democrats to moderate their rhetoric toward President Donald Trump and to embrace greater tolerance for opposing views.
In addition to addressing Kirk’s death, Putin responded to Trump’s recent characterization of Russia as a «paper tiger.»
«A paper tiger? Then go deal with this paper tiger,» Putin said. «If we are fighting the entire NATO bloc, moving forward, advancing and feeling confident, and we are still called a paper tiger, then what does that make NATO itself?»
