‘They handcuffed a dead man’: Questions mount after ICE shooting


Dear readers,

The fatal shooting of 26-year-old Colombian Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero by an ICE agent has shaken the small Maine city of Biddeford, where residents are demanding answers. And in Georgia, Jeús Manuel Arenas Silva suffered a fatal cardiac arrest while being transferred between two detention centers, becoming the 54th migrant to die in ICE custody during Trump’s second presidency.

In other news, concerns about global security are reshaping government priorities. Military spending has risen for 11 consecutive years and now stands at nearly $3 trillion worldwide, as countries respond to geopolitical tensions, technological competition, and growing uncertainty over the international order.
