"I don't know what I will do."Emmanuel said he wanted to work in the U.S. and send money back to his family in Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state. But soon after crossing into Arizona illegally, Emmanuel said he was detained by U.S. border agents and returned to Mexico. Asked about his next steps,...

Concretely, 600 army members were deployed to the state, joining 400 others who were sent to the state less than a month ago. State governor Ruben Rocha Mora said that at least 10 murders committed during the past days are related to the capture of Zambada, which took place on July 25.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president lashed out at U.S. funding for a Mexican anti-corruption nonprofit group Wednesday, and said he will send a diplomatic note to the United States in protest. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claimed the group is part of the conservative opposition, and shouldn’t receive foreign funding or tax deductible contributions. He published detailed financial information about the group and vowed to send a bill to Congress to change the rules on tax deductible contributions. “I think that there is open intervention by the U.S. government in the sovereign affairs of Mexico,” López Obrador said. He sent a similar protest note in 2021, with no apparent result. The U.S. State Department generally does not comment on diplomatic correspondence. According to documents presented at the president’s morning news briefing, a small amount of funding for the group — about $685,000 — came from U.S. charitable foundations over the last eight years.

When you head out on a cruise, you’re most likely thinking about suntan lotions, umbrella cocktails, and endless buffets. You’re not likely to be thinking about disappearing without a trace.

Vanished At Sea: Mysterious Cruise Ship Disappearances

MEXICO CITY (AP) — According to official figures, at least 115,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since 1952, though the real number is believed to be higher. During the country’s “dirty war,” a conflict that lasted throughout the 1970s, disappearances were attributed to government repression. In the past two decades, as officials have fought drug cartels and organized crime has tightened its grip in several states, it’s been more difficult to trace the perpetrators and causes of disappearances. Human trafficking, kidnapping, acts of retaliation and forced recruitment by cartel members are among the reasons listed by human rights organizations. Disappearances impact local communities as well as migrants who travel through Mexico hoping to reach the U.S.
