Dear readers,
Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, the U.S. government has been stepping up its use of AI tools to monitor thousands of people without judicial authorization. For now the targets are mostly immigrants; experts note that “once this machinery is accepted and operational, it can be used against anyone.”
One of our top stories this week concerns Puerto Rico, where there have been reports of American tourists trying to get their hands on a mysterious spray that allegedly "silences" the sound made by the coquí, an endemic frog that is also a symbol of the island.
Meanwhile, we took apart a Nintendo Switch 2 and used the parts to illustrate how globalization works, and visited a Catalan seaside town whose income is vanishing as fast as its beaches.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
