America, a techno-surveillance state
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.

Panic and anger in Florida
Dear readers,
In Florida, where one in five residents is an immigrant, there is a growing sense of fear as ICE steps up its detention of people outside courthouses. (...)
This week we spoke with New York Times commentator Ezra Klein about his new book, Abundance, and about the Democrats' desperate search for ways to reconnect with voters.
We also visited the home of actor Richard Gere, who has moved to Madrid with his wife and kids, and who discussed his career, his life, his social activism and his views on Trump.
Some of our other stories this week focus on how to age well, why the convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein is "not that bad" to some, and how the set of the 1980 movie 'Popeye,' featuring Robin Williams, was awash in cocaine.

Dear readers,
News of the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington D.C. has triggered a flood of reactions in the United States and abroad, with President Trump vowing to do more to fight antisemitism.
In Mexico, the violence continued unabated: two top aides to the mayor of Mexico City were gunned down in broad daylight, while the drug cartels continued to litter the country with bodies as part of their turf wars.
Our global coverage also took us to the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Gaza and to Antarctica, where an island-volcano could erupt soon.
In the cultural world, all eyes were on Cannes, where our correspondents analyzed the directorial debuts of Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson, and interviewed U2 frontman Bono about the need "to fight against this general feeling that the world is screwed."
