Biden and Trump win the primaries of their parties in Ohio, Illinois and Kansas

The president of the United States, Democrat Joe Biden, and former Republican president Donald Trump (2017-2021) won as planned on Tuesday the primaries of their parties in the states of Ohio, Illinois and Kansas, according to projections by NBC, Fox and CBS channels.

It has been a week since Biden and Trump have been virtually the Democratic and Republican nominees for the November presidential elections, since they have already achieved the minimum of the necessary delegates: 1,968 in the case of the first and 1,215 in the case of the second.

The media projected the victory of both candidates shortly after closing the schools, and already awarded all the Republican delegates who were at stake to Trump in Ohio (79) and Kansas (39), while the count continues in Illinois, where he opts for 64.

Trump scored a victory in the Republican primary today for the candidate for the Senate in Ohio, since the candidate he supported, Bernie Moreno, prevailed over the other two more moderates. Moreno will be the rival in the elections to the Upper House of Democrat Sherrod Brown, a contest in which the Democrats risk control of the chamber.

Biden opts for 167 delegates in Ohio, 127 in Illinois and 33 in Kansas, and won saggy victories of between 87 and 90%.

However, in Kansas, the discontent vote approached 10%, reflecting the unease with the president’s policy towards the conflict in Gaza, unlike other states in the Midwest.

The results of Florida are pending, which nevertheless give Biden and Trump as the projected winners of their respective parties, while the polling stations in Arizona will be the last to close tonight.

To officially proclaim themselves candidates, both politicians must wait for the conventions of their parties: first it will be the Republican, from July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and then the Democratic, from August 19 to 22 in Chicago (Illinois).

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.
