EL PAÍS News

The Mexican town where migrants disappear

Dear readers,

This week we travel to Chiapas, in southern Mexico, where EL PAÍS has identified three mass disappearances of migrants between September and December 2024 with the same pattern. In a territory marked by battles between organized crime groups, all signs point to human trafficking.

In another blow for migrants, Florida is launching an operation to arrest and deport parents and guardians of unaccompanied migrant children, under the guise of checking on the safety of their family situation.

As the Russia-Ukraine war grinds on without any major progress on a peace deal, Kaja Kallas, former PM of Estonia and now the EU’s foreign policy chief, explains why the Kremlin is merely pretending to negotiate.

In lighter news, we take a look back at 50 years of the all-girl rock band The Runaways, and examine why anonymous philanthropy is a thing of the past.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from El PAÍS USA Edition.
