‘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.
We also spoke to Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood about the band’s latest album, Foreign Tongues, the risks of censorship, and his hopes for a 2027 tour.

NATO: filling in the gaps
Dear readers,
The NATO summit this week further underscored the rift btween the United States and its European partners. As a result, European allies and Canada are moving to fill the gaps in Europe’s security umbrella as the US scales back its commitment. A group of 12 countries is preparing a new mission to strengthen maritime security in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, according to alliance sources.
Back in the Americas, tension is growing over the US role in the Ismael El Mayo Zambada case. Mexico is demanding further explanations about the role US agencies may have had in the transfer by plane of the drug leader from Mexico to US territory, and accusing the former ambassador of lying about it.
Our interviewees this week include Danny Elfman, the composer behind most of Tim Burton's best-known movies (as well as the theme for The Simpsons), and British pop superstar Robbie Williams, who is releasing a new album with a title meant "to wind up the right people."

No sympathy for Venezuelans
Dear readers,
Not even a natural disaster of still-incalculable proportions has inspired Donald Trump’s administration to pause its effort to carry out what it calls the largest deportation campaign in history. The Venezuelan community is demanding that the government reinstate TPS for the nearly 600,000 migrants at risk of being sent back to a devastated country.
Meanwhile, the richest and most prestigious university in the US is also fearful of what's in store as it faces a new wave of threats from the Republican administration. Harvard Prof. Randall Kennedy has just finished writing a book about what the university has experienced over the past 15 months. The manuscript already has a title: The Siege of Harvard.
And a professor at another Ivy League institution, Roberto Serrano of Brown University, recently told EL PAÍS about a case of mass cheating on one of his economics exams, and how university officials did nothing about it. "Academic integrity is at risk," he says.
