Every label carried the same simple phrase “Made in #Mexico.” Beltrán, a 70-year-old Cuban father of two, was one of several hundred recipients of #Mexican #humanitarian assistance, ordered by President #ClaudiaSheinbaum in support of the island nation as it faces blackouts and severe fuel shortages worsened by a #US #oil #embargo. “I feel very grateful,” said Beltrán. “The Mexican president should be praised to the skies for showing such concern and courage.” #OilForCuba! #EndTheBlockadeEmbargo #CubaSolidarity#LetCubaLive #EndSanctionsAgainstCuba #LatinAmerica #Caribbean #news #politics #USpol #Cuba

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a #Minnesota hospital https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9 from #TheAssociatedPress #AP #APNews Updated 10:12 AM EST, January 31, 2026 Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull. #ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release. But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case. #ImmigrantRightsAreHumanRights#DefendRuleOfLaw#DueProcessForAll #StopTheDeportations#AbolishICE #immigrants #deportations #USA #US #USpol #politics #news
