Latin America bids farewell to Pepe Mujica


Dear readers,

José "Pepe" Mujica, the iconic former president of Uruguay known for his austere lifestyle, died this week at the age of 89. Leftist leaders across Latin America paid tribute to the former guerilla fighter, praising his honesty, humility, and commitment to Latin American integration.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Trump's immigration crackdown continues to take a toll on Venezuelan migrants. EL PAÍS spoke to three of the eight women who were sent to El Salvador, only to be flown back to the United States. All they want now is to be deported home.

We also traveled to the library that has one door in Canada and the other in the United States. Over the last month, it has become a living symbol of the complex situation that Trump’s administration has created for the residents of the two neighboring nations.

And in business news, we looked at how Zara's global fashion network has been growing under Marta Ortega, the chair of Inditex.

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