Nikki Haley vows to continue presidential campaign despite challenges

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has announced her intention to continue her presidential campaign, even after an anticipated defeat in the Republican primaries in her home state.

“I am a woman of my word,” she stated in Charleston, South Carolina, referring to her commitment to stay in the race through Super Tuesday. “I’m not going to give up on this fight when the majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.”

She expressed doubt about Trump’s ability to defeat incumbent President Joe Biden in a rematch election, suggesting that “Trump drives people away.”

“In the next 10 days, another 21 states and territories will have their say. They deserve a real choice, not a Soviet-style election with only one candidate,” she declared. “And it’s my duty to give them that choice.”

ICE arrests over 2,300 undocumented immigrants in Trump’s first week

n the first week of Republican Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested at least 2,382 undocumented immigrants and issued 1,797 warrants for individuals eligible for deportation, according to its own figures.

On Sunday alone, there were 965 arrests and 554 warrants issued—a record for a single day—based on ICE data, which has been published daily since January 23 as part of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

These arrests indicate that “there is probable cause to believe that the person arrested may be deported from the United States under federal immigration law,” the agency explained.

According to ICE, on January 25, there were 286 arrests and 421 detention orders issued. On January 24, 593 arrests were made, and 449 warrants were issued. On January 23, the total was 538 arrests and 373 warrants processed.

ICE raid sparks outrage in Puerto Rico amid governor’s silence

Puerto Rico’s opposition parties condemned a federal raid against immigrants carried out by U.S. agents in San Juan and called for action from Governor Jenniffer González, who as of Monday had not commented on the matter.

This first raid on the island, a U.S. Commonwealth, comes shortly after González assured in an interview that Dominicans living in Puerto Rico could remain “calm.” “Whatever the president (Donald Trump) decides to do, he won’t be thinking about the Dominican community,” she stated.

Since yesterday, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid in Barrio Obrero, the heart of the Dominican community on the island, following Trump’s orders, the governor—who belongs to the New Progressive Party (PNP) and is a Republican—has remained silent.

“I urge the governor to clarify where her loyalties lie: whether with Trump and his clique of wealthy racists or with the defense of Puerto Ricans and our Dominican brothers on the island,” said Juan Dalmau, leader of the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) and former gubernatorial candidate, in a statement.

ELN stands firm against surrender after Petro halts peace negotiations

The National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group stated on Monday that it will not accept surrender or submission as a peace policy. This declaration comes after Colombian President Gustavo Petro suspended peace talks in response to the violence caused by the group in the Catatumbo region over the past 11 days.

“The ELN will never accept submission or surrender as a peace policy. ‘Total peace’ has been a policy of Petro that has given certain paramilitary groups and gangs a ‘political status’ to coordinate actions with the State and its armed forces,” said the ELN’s Central Command in a statement.

Clashes between the ELN and the 33rd Front of FARC dissidents in Catatumbo since January 16 have resulted in between 60 and 80 deaths, according to estimates by the Ombudsman’s Office and the Government of Norte de Santander.

However, authorities have only been able to recover 41 bodies due to ongoing challenges in accessing the most remote rural areas, where the violence persists.
