NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Several House Democrats, including members of the «Squad,» criticized the United States over the weekend at a conference in Mexico City that questioned U.S. influence and policies, with one lawmaker saying she was prouder to be Guatemalan than American.
The second annual Panamerican Congress brought leftist officials from all over North and South America. Those in attendance included Democratic lawmakers: Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Presley of Massachusetts, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Jesús Gilberto García and Delia Ramirez of Illinois.
All are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

During her remarks at the opening of the event, Ramirez spoke about the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown and her own ancestry.
«I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,» she declared in Spanish. The congresswoman also accused the U.S. of prioritizing «imperialism, militarization, conquest, control, competition in its attempt at domination.»
On her website, Ramirez, the child of immigrant parents, said her husband is in the country illegally and that she is the only congressional lawmaker «in a mixed-status marriage, and fights for the rights of DREAMers like her husband, Boris, and for comprehensive immigration reform.»
The White House condemned the remarks made by Ramirez, as well as her fellow Democrats.
«These Democrats’ comments are despicable and underscore their commitment to putting Americans last,» White House spokesperson Liz Huston told Fox News Digital. «In stark contrast, President Trump is working tirelessly to secure peace deals, deport illegal alien criminals, and advance America’s interests at home and abroad.»

Fox News Digital has reached out to Ramirez’s office, as well as several lawmakers who attended the summit.
In addition to immigration, speakers also voiced their views on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Mauricio Jaramillo Jassir, Colombia’s deputy minister of multilateral affairs, praised Tlaib during his speech, calling her a «symbol of resistance,» which prompted a standing ovation once he finished speaking.
The summit was organized by the leader of Progressive International, a radical left-wing group that describes capitalism as a «virus» that must be «eradicated» — in partnership with Morena, Mexico’s ruling left-wing party, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Gerardo Fernández Noroña, president of the Mexican Senate and member of Morena, called out the «persecution» of migrants in the U.S. under the Trump administration.
He called it «unjust, infamous, incorrect persecution where just for being a migrant and just for your skin color or your nationality, you are persecuted.»
«They are not only imprisoned, but sent to a prison that has been banned since World War II, such as Alligator Alcatraz,» he said. «The United States government is grieving over drug use, but I haven’t seen a single raid like the one they carry out against migrants against people who sell drugs in the United States.»
In a TV interview before the event, David Adler, the general coordinator for Progressive International and one of the summit’s main coordinators, said the intention of the summit was to confront authoritarian and fascist threats and shift authority from Washington, D.C. to developing countries, the DCNF reported, in the Global South, a term used to describe a loose division of nations across different continents that are generally poorer, have high levels of inequity and harsher living conditions.

On its website, Progressive Internation described the U.S. as the «lynchpin of that imperial violence — a position it has carefully built over two centuries.»
The group cited U.S. military installations overseas and the massive Pentagon budget.
«US militarism sustains profound political tensions around the world. Its interventions have destroyed nation after nation, leaving a trail of violence and sorrow in their wake,» the website states. «Ending US militarism means saving lives.»

Sometimes you get assigned stories that are different enough to make even veteran journalists raise their eyebrows. Sunday’s jewel heist at the Louvre in Paris is definitely one of them.
Four guys, using a cherry picker truck to scale the side of the museum, break through a second-floor window, scoop up to $100 million worth of French crown jewelry, and make off with the loot on motor scooters in under 10 minutes. Something out of the movies. Pink Panther. You name it.
I used to live in Paris. I’ve covered many front-page stories during my time there and after — from the death of Princess Diana to several deadly terror attacks, and the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. Now, this.
‘BRAZEN’ LOUVRE THIEVES MADE TARGETED HEIST, JEWELS COULD BE MELTED DOWN: EXPERT

Luckily, I had an ace team with me: professional cameraman and producer John Templeton and Simon Owen, seasoned Paris producer since the 1990s, Cicely Medintzeff, and a handy big Mercedes van and driver
The trip didn’t start that well — losing a few production bags on the flight from London to Paris. But cameraman John made do. As we chatted with folks at the airport, including a nice American couple from Washington state. The robbery was already the talk of the town.
Our next challenge was finding a spot to do our live shots. Arriving by night, the road near the museum was blocked by police on one side, so we ended up backing our way in on the other side. We found a place in front of the iconic pyramid-shaped entrance to the museum. Night or day, it’s one of the great backdrops around — as we talked about a terrible crime.

The next morning, we went straight to the scene of the crime — the back side of the museum. We saw the narrow sidewalk where the thieves parked their truck, the flimsy window they cut through, and a piece of wood now covering the gap. Except for a parked police car, even at that time, there wasn’t a lot of security around. There was no museum video of the break-in. The crooks beat the alarms.

LOUVRE MUSEUM CLOSED AFTER ROBBERY, FRENCH OFFICIAL SAYS
We weren’t the only ones gawking. A small crowd, including American tourists, stared up and wondered. «It looks incredibly easy,» one told us. «Weird,» another sighed.
But the big crowds were back in front of the museum. Even though it was closed that day (it had been shut following the robbery), throngs were there — many wondering about the crime. Many more just taking the usual Instagram-style selfies with the Louvre.
With our TV equipment spread on the pavement for live shots, we became another source of attention. «Where did it happen?» one person asked. «When is the museum opening again?» asked another. One more American tourist came up and described how he and his wife had been to the museum the day before the robbery and could already tell the security was terrible.

As more details of the crime emerged, the story only got stranger. How the thieves picked up their truck just 25 miles outside Paris. How were they in such a rush they left behind a crown studded with more than 1,300 diamonds (they got eight other pieces). And how Police — making up for lost time — gathered evidence, including a construction-style vest, a glove, a license plate and video of the suspects making their getaway on a highway outside Paris.
And the French were doing another thing they’re good at — finger-pointing and blame-casting. President Emmanuel Macron has enough political headaches these days. The last thing he needed was a high-profile catastrophe. He promised the culprits would be caught. To her credit, the director of the museum offered her resignation (it was declined) but got a good grilling by the French Senate.

All of this, as we noted, was a race against time for a team of 100 French police investigators — one of the biggest manhunts in French history — to catch the thieves before they had a chance to break up the jewelry, re-cut the gems and melt down the gold and silver to be sold off. Part of a growing trend of museum heists.

In addition to hearing my on-air colleagues express their astonishment about the crime, we also took our share of ribbing about the «tough» assignment of being sent to Paris. And, indeed, it was lovely seeing my old hometown again. Paris is stunning. But I also must note, aside from a fine brasserie wrap dinner, the trip was more about crowding onto café chairs to write scripts and use facilities — plus Uber Eats, French style.

So now we wait to see how this incredible French crime caper pans out. Most people we heard from were pretty sure the bandits would get caught and the museum’s security would be updated. But they had their doubts that the priceless jewelry — described as France’s «soul» — would ever be retrieved. The Louvre has reopened. Let’s just hope this film-style story has a happy ending.

Hadrosaurio: cómo era la especie de dinosaurio que encontraron momificado con piel y cascos sorprendentes
Un equipo de investigadores de los Estados Unidos y España logró revelar la apariencia más realista del Edmontosaurus annectens, uno de los dinosaurios gigantes del Período Cretácico, que vivió entre 69 y 66 millones de años atrás.
El hallazgo de restos fósiles fue en el este de Wyoming, Estados Unidos. Fue liderado por el paleontólogo Paul Sereno, de la Universidad de Chicago. El estudio se publicó en la revista Science, de la Asociación Estadounidense para el Avance de la Ciencia.
Permitió reconstruir aspectos únicos de la piel, las crestas y los pies de este animal herbívoro, gracias a la extraordinaria conservación de varios fósiles momificados.
“Es la primera vez que tenemos una visión completa y detallada de un dinosaurio grande en la que realmente podemos confiar”, afirmó el doctor Sereno.
La investigación se centró en dos ejemplares fuera de lo común procedentes de la “zona de las momias”, un área de menos de diez kilómetros de diámetro famosa por su riqueza paleontológica.
Los dos fósiles más completos corresponden a un individuo juvenil y otro adulto joven; ambos fueron claves para conocer la cobertura tegumentaria real de estos animales que vivieron hace unos 66 millones de años.
Edmontosaurus annectens fue un dinosaurio herbívoro que vivió hace entre 69 y 66 millones de años en América del Norte. Su cuerpo podía superar los doce metros y se adaptaba a pastar plantas en manadas.
Contaba con un amplio pico sin dientes en la parte delantera, ideal para recolectar vegetación baja y blanda.
La reconstrucción más reciente revela que presentaba una piel cubierta de pequeñas escamas, una cresta carnosa a lo largo del cuello y el lomo, y cascos en los dedos de pies y manos.
Su forma de caminar era especial: usaba tanto sus cuatro patas como solo las traseras, lo que lo hacía diferente de otros dinosaurios conocidos.
Estas características lo transforman en una pieza clave para entender la evolución de los grandes dinosaurios herbívoros.
Ahora, el equipo liderado por el doctor Sereno logró interpretar restos de dos ejemplares hallados en la “zona de las momias” de Wyoming, un sitio célebre por su riqueza fósil.
Los fósiles analizados corresponden a un individuo juvenil y a un adulto joven, ambos con detalles anatómicos nunca vistos en el registro fósil tradicional.
Los expertos aplicaron tomografía computarizada, microscopía óptica y espectroscopía de rayos X sobre los huesos y la piel fosilizada.
Esas tecnologías permitieron observar las texturas y formas originales sin dañar los fósiles.
Según escribieron los investigadores, “todas las estructuras de la piel fosilizada están preservadas como una fina plantilla de arcilla que se formó en la superficie de un cadáver enterrado mientras se descomponía”.
El equipo encontró que la piel muestra una cresta carnosa y una fila de espinas, además de cascos en dedos tanto de patas delanteras como traseras.
Estas características nunca antes documentadas con tal claridad en dinosaurios ofrecieron nuevos datos sobre la evolución anatómica de los hadrosáuridos, un grupo del que se sabe poco en términos de rasgos blandos.
La máscara de arcilla preservó íntegramente la microestructura de la piel, al reproducir formas y detalles pequeños gracias a minerales como caolinita e illita.
“La conservación no dependió de ambientes marinos sin oxígeno, sino que ocurrió en un entorno fluvial perfectamente aireado, algo insólito para dinosaurios tan grandes”, aclararon los investigadores.
Entre los hallazgos importantes, el trabajo deja ver que la fidelidad en la conservación de los tejidos blandos permite aprender más sobre la biología y conducta de los dinosaurios de finales del Cretácico.
El avance ayuda a entender la variedad real de formas que pudo tener este amplio grupo de animales.
University of Chicago Medical Center
El equipo recomendó dejar de usar el término “impresión de piel” y propone “renderizado del tegumento”, que define mejor los modos de conservación de tejidos blandos.
Aclararon que no hallaron pigmentos ni proteínas originales, por lo que no pueden determinar el color auténtico del animal ni conocer detalles profundos de su composición química.
Tampoco se puede saber si la cresta carnosa fue una característica exclusiva para todos los individuos de la especie.
El equipo prevé analizar nuevos fósiles de la región y buscar restos de tejidos en sedimentos distintos. Concluyeron que el hallazgo “permite mirar de cerca cómo se veían y cómo podían vivir estos gigantes del pasado”.

Letitia James ‘wreaking havoc’ on New York in ways voters may not even realize, GOP challenger says
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Fox News Digital sat down with New York Republican attorney general candidate Michael Henry, who made his case on why the Democrat currently holding that office, Letitia James, needs to go and why his campaign has the message to do that.
«Two things,» Henry told Fox News Digital when asked what voters in New York tell him they are most concerned about. «Crime and affordability.»
Henry explained that New Yorkers are «fed up» with the cost of living in the state and may not realize that many of the regulatory policies that affect affordability are handled by the attorney general’s office.
«It’s really put a hamper on economic growth in the State of New York, how her and her bureau chiefs, deputy bureau chief, and the attorneys in the office, who all serve under the discretion of the attorney general, have really crippled the New York State economy,» Henry said.

Henry expressed concern specifically about energy costs and what he called a «far-left agenda» that James has been implementing.
«We see a Democrat governor in Josh Shapiro, who’s encouraging New York energy companies to work in Pennsylvania right across the line, where you could literally throw a rock and hit a truck on the Pennsylvania border. But then the 100 years worth of energy under our feet in the southern tier of New York State, which would not only revive the economy, but the people in places like Manhattan would see probably about a 60% cost of energy go down,» Henry said.
«And Letitia James has been wreaking havoc on the daily lives of New Yorkers, and in many instances they just don’t even realize it, and this is something I’ve been trying to shine a light on, letting them know how much damage she’s doing to them and their ability to just be able to afford to live here.»
ANDERSON COOPER SAYS IT WAS ‘NOT A GREAT LOOK’ FOR LETITIA JAMES TO THREATEN TO SUE TRUMP AFTER HER ELECTION

Henry ran unsuccessfully against James in 2020, but his 45% of the vote was one of the best showings for a Republican in the state in decades.
Henry told Fox News Digital he lives a comfortable life as an attorney and didn’t plan on running again, but when he looked around and surveyed the situation he felt compelled to do so.
«You travel to upstate New York, you see these wind fans that don’t work, you see solar panels that break in the winter, yet we’re not allowed to use all options when it comes to energy development,» Henry said.
«Three thousand correctional officers, which is a huge employer in upstate New York, were fired by Letitia James and Kathy Hochul, three thousand families that relied on that income to take care of things like tuition or put food on the table, and they were blocked from going into other civil servant employment. You just see the war on agriculture, war on dairy farmers. There’s a 62-county drug crisis that’s been exacerbated, and if you had told me in 2022, all these issues would have happened or been this bad, I never would have believed you.»
Ultimately, Henry believes that New Yorkers need an «outsider» candidate who has «no fear of Letitia James at all.»

Henry explained, «Look, let’s be honest, she wakes up every day focused on three things: targeting the president of the United States, weaponizing her office against political opponents, and ignoring the issues that matter most to hardworking families,» Henry said. «And she’s forgotten that the New York state attorney general is the people’s lawyer, and it’s not the enforcer for the Democrat National Committee.»
On the crime front, Henry hit James for «not cooperating with local law enforcement,» particularly sheriffs in Republican areas, and said New Yorkers are «fed up» on the crime issue.
James will be in court Friday morning after being charged with mortgage fraud, which she has dismissed as political, but Henry pushed back on that narrative.
«People have seen her awkwardly stumble through these press conferences off the cuff, and now we’ve seen her ethical issues, where apparently she’s not only multiple times signed documents saying she’s married to her father, she doesn’t even know what state she lives in, apparently.»
«And Letitia James can’t have it both ways. She can’t say I’ve been trained by the best and then have these discrepancies on numerous occasions in her mortgage applications. It’s either that she knew what she was doing or she lacks the basic reading comprehension skills of a middle schooner, because I could walk into a middle school and put a mortgage application on any child’s desk, and they would say to me, I’m not married to my daddy,» Henry added. «So she cannot have it both ways, and she’s going to be held accountable this time, and we’re seeing it on a daily basis.»
