(CNN) — Alrededor del 80% de las controvertidas boyas fronterizas instaladas en el río Grande por la iniciativa fronteriza del gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, conocida como Operación Lone Star, se desplegaron en territorio mexicano, según un expediente judicial federal.La Comisión Internacional de Límites y Aguas (IBWC, por sus siglas en inglés), una entidad que administra los tratados de límites y aguas entre EE.UU. y México, realizó un estudio de las boyas flotantes y el Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU. presentó los hallazgos al tribunal como parte de su demanda en curso contra el estado de Texas.El Departamento de Justicia presentó la demanda el mes pasado exigiendo la eliminación de las barreras fronterizas y pidió a la corte que bloqueara cualquier futura construcción de barreras flotantes.López Obrador critica las “inhumanas” boyas antimigrantes que Texas desplegó en la frontera con MéxicoDe acuerdo con los hallazgos de la encuesta, Texas desplegó una cad...

Column: Chicago Cubs can survive even if Marcus Stroman doesn’t return from his mysterious rib injury

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:02:20 GMT

In any other year, Marcus Stroman’s potential season-ending rib cartilage fracture would’ve had Chicago Cubs fans crying, “Why us?”But this has been a season unlike any other in recent Cubs history, a roller-coaster ride that no one could’ve seen coming back in spring training. They buried themselves on June 8 in Anaheim, Calif., falling 10 games under .500, only to bounce back into contention in the National League Central and wild-card race.Though the Cubs were only three games over .500 entering Wednesday’s City Series finale against the White Sox, which the Cubs won 4-3 on a three-run, walk-off home run by Christopher Morel, the atmosphere in Wrigleyville matched the giddiness of the summer of 2015, the turning point of Theo Epstein’s vaunted rebuild.So if anyone is worried the possible absence of Stroman for the final seven weeks of the season has spoiled the Cubs’ chances of making a postseason run, they mostly have kept their th...

Dean Kremer bests Manny Machado, but Padres top Orioles, 5-2, in rubber match: ‘Just had that one bad inning’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:02:20 GMT

Five years later, determining the winner of the Manny Machado trade is a matter of nuance. The Los Angeles Dodgers reached but lost the World Series after the Orioles parted with the star infielder amid his final season before free agency. The Orioles certainly would have liked to have done better in the deal, but even though only one member of Baltimore’s five-player return is still with the organization, he’s provided more value by himself than Machado did for the Dodgers.Right-hander Dean Kremer was not the centerpiece of that July 2018 trade, but he’s grown into that role for Baltimore, partly by default. The other four prospects the Orioles received in that trade never amounted to much for them, but with four more years of team control beyond this season, Kremer has posted 3.4 wins above replacement for Baltimore, according to Baseball-Reference — topping Machado’s 2.5 with Los Angeles — and developed into a reliable starter.He showed as much...

Israeli troops kill a Palestinian in a gunbattle outside a West Bank bakery

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:02:20 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces raided a home above a bakery in a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, killing one man in a gunbattle in Jenin, a city that has seen some of the worst bloodshed in the current round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.Violence has gripped the region since last spring, when Israel launched near-nightly raids in response to a spate of deadly Palestinian attacks. It’s become the fiercest fighting in the West Bank in some two decades, and along with increased violence by radical Jewish settlers and settlement expansion by Israel’s far-right government, has fueled tensions in the region.Early Thursday, Israeli troops surrounded a building containing a bakery and a home. In a statement, the Israeli military said special forces were arresting two militant suspects when they came under fire, shot back and entered the building.The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the man killed as Mustafa al-Kastouni, 32.
