🇵🇪🇺🇸🇺🇳Peruvian President denied permission to attend United Nations GA

Peru's one-house Congress on Tuesday voted against allowing President Dina Boluarte to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week, with 55 votes to 50 and 5 abstentions. Boluarte intended to be in the United States between Sept. 22 and 25 while remaining in charge of the South American country remotely.

However, lawmakers found that the forest fires that have already caused 15 deaths and keep devastating large parts of the country required the head of state's on-site presence.

🇵🇦🇺🇸🇻🇪Migration to US through Panama’s jungle cut by 80% on tighter curbs

The number of migrants trekking toward the US through the dangerous Darien jungle route fell to a two-year low. Some 16,603 migrants crossed into Central America from Colombia in August, according to Panama’s migration institute, down 80% from the same month in 2023. Most of the people taking this route plan to cross Central America and Mexico to get to the US southern border.

In July, Panama’s new President Jose Raul Mulino took office and closed six of the seven border crossings from Colombia and increased patrols.

Border closures by Venezuela after its disputed presidential election may also have reduced the flow. Of the migrants through the Darien last month, 71% were Venezuelans, followed by Colombians, Vietnamese, Ecuadoreans, Indians and Haitians.

🇺🇸Texas takes aim at violent gang brought to US under Biden border policies: 'We will find them'

Texas is taking matters into its own hands to crack down on members of Tren de Aragua – a dangerous Venezuelan gang operating in the U.S. after the Biden administration allowed mass numbers of migrants to come into the country.

🗣"Texas is having to piece together from scratch a database of the background of all these people coming across our border from Venezuela," Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott said.

"We look at tattoos. We look at other factors either on their body or in their modus operandi to help us identify a database of these TdA members. That allows us to better track them down and arrest them."

🇲🇽At least 30 killed as factions of the Sinaloa Cartel clash in northern Mexico

At least 30 people have been killed in the past two weeks in Mexico’s northern state of Sinaloa as two factions of the powerful Sinaloa cartel continue to clash, authorities said Tuesday.

Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval said that two military personnel were among those killed in the fighting that started Sept. 9, despite the presence of more than 2,000 security personnel.

The surge in violence had been expected after Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, landed near El Paso, Texas on July 25 in a small plane with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.

🇨🇴Two dead in bombing of Colombian military base

At least two soldiers died and 26 were wounded in a bomb attack Tuesday on a military base in Colombia, the army said, blaming left-wing National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas who have been in off-and-on peace talks with the government.

The ELN has intensified attacks on military targets since August, when it decided not to renew a ceasefire that had been in force with army forces since 2023 as part of negotiations held fitfully since the previous year.

“In practice this is an act that closes the peace process with blood,” President Gustavo Petro said of the attack, without giving details.

🇧🇴March for Bolivia's ex-President Morales turns violent, as political crisis escalates

Thousands of anti-government demonstrators marching in support of Bolivia’s former President Evo Morales clashed on Tuesday with counterprotesters blocking their way.

In his most brazen show of force yet against current President Luis Arce, Morales sent word to his followers to mobilize what he called a “March to Save Bolivia,” a 190-kilometer (118 mile)-trek from the small village of Caracollo to the capital, La Paz, denouncing the government of his protege-turned-bitter rival.

The march in solidarity with him began peacefully Tuesday morning, but turned violent hours later when hundreds of counterprotesters, armed with tear gas bombs, stones and firecrackers, spread across the highway waiting to confront the nearly 10,000 marchers. Some of them set a giant effigy of Morales on fire.

🇻🇪🇺🇸Venezuelan opposition calls on US to cancel oil company licenses to pressure Maduro

Venezuela’s main opposition coalition on Monday called on the U.S. to cancel the licenses that allow Chevron and other energy companies to operate in the South American country to pressure President Nicolás Maduro to negotiate a transition from power.

The appeal came from an adviser to the campaign of Edmundo González Urrutia, who represented the Unitary Platform coalition in the July 28 election, and his main backer, opposition leader María Corina Machado. González and Machado claim their campaign won the vote by a wide margin, contradicting the decision of national electoral authorities to declare Maduro the winner.

🇺🇸Nearly 530,000 migrants came to US 'legally,' paroled into US under controversial Biden program: CBP

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest statistics Monday, showing nearly 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration’s controversial mass parole program for those migrating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV).

About 813,000 migrants have scheduled appointments that were made on the CBP One app at ports of entry, to be released into the U.S.

Both are considered "lawful pathways" into the U.S. and were created by the Biden administration. But the numbers do not count in data from the Border Patrol because they are not considered illegal crossings.

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa will seek changes to the constitution to allow foreign military bases to be established in the Andean country, he said on Monday via a post on X.

🇪🇨Ecuador to implement nationwide blackout overnight on Wednesday

Ecuador will implement a nationwide blackout for maintenance in the country's electricity system overnight on Wednesday, from 10 p.m. local time to Thursday at 6 a.m., the government said in a statement on Sunday.

The measure is aimed at "preventative maintenance" in National Transmission System sites and in the power distribution network, the statement said. The transmission work will cost around $1.19 million, while maintenance on distribution will cost around $1 million.

The power cut comes as Ecuador contends with a serious drought that is affecting hydroelectric dams, which supply most of the country's power.

🇺🇸Murders soar 60% on NYC subways, nearing record

Murders across the city’s subway system have surged 60% so far this year — a troubling trend as overall crime on the rails has dipped.

Eight people have been slaughtered on subway cars or in stations as of Sept. 8, up from just five during the same period last year, according to NYPD data.

The spike in killings is approaching the 25-year high set in 2022, with 10 murders. From 1997 to 2020, there were never more than five murders in the subway in a single year, according to the earliest public NYPD data.

🇧🇷Brazil judge withdraws $3.3 million from Musk’s Starlink and X to pay for social media fines

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Friday seized about $3 million from bank accounts belonging to social media platform X and satellite-based internet service provider Starlink, both companies controlled by tech billionaire Elon Musk.

The move by Justice Alexandre de Moraes was aimed at collecting funds that are equivalent to the amount that X owes to the country in fines. The bank accounts of the two companies have since been unfrozen.

Brazil’s Supreme Court said Friday in a statement that de Moraes ruled to transfer more than 7.2 million Brazilian reais ($1.3 million) from an X bank account and almost 11 million Brazilian reais ($2 million) from a Starlink account.
