00:00:00stated that the chili peppers were distributed by a company in
00:00:03California and came from Mexico. Restaurants like
00:00:05Chipotle and Qdoba withdrew jalapeños from their
00:00:09establishments. So far,
00:00:12said that birthright 36 people have been hospitalized, and no
00:00:14deaths have been reported. Let's hope it stays that way, with no reports
00:00:18of fatalities. We'll sign off now; we'll see you at 11 for more
00:00:20information.
00:00:24Starting today, the government will be able to deny incomplete
00:00:28immigration benefit applications. They will no longer
00:00:31request additional necessary evidence.
00:00:33The measure affects petitions for permanent
00:00:37residency, citizenship, work permits, and even
00:00:41asylum. Also today at the White House, President
00:00:45Trump signed two executive orders related to birthright
00:00:48citizenship and so-called birth tourism. The
00:00:51salmonella outbreak linked to Mexican
00:00:55jalapeños is spreading. More than 300
00:00:58people have contracted the bacteria
00:01:01in the United States. I'm trying to avoid them, and if I absolutely
00:01:05have to buy them, I wash them very
00:01:08well.
00:01:12Social media is under the scrutiny of organized
00:01:15crime. At least 19 content
00:01:18creators have been murdered in Mexico since
00:01:212024. Controversy is growing over a White House
00:01:25post using Spider-Man, the
00:01:27web-slinger, to promote raids.
00:01:34Ecuadorian fishermen report drone attacks by alleged
00:01:38prison sentences will be U.S. military personnel. They attacked us. We were already returning to
00:01:42land, and the drones were flying above
00:01:46us, circling.
00:01:48This is your news on+ Univisión with
00:01:51Ilia Calderón.
00:01:54170 nautical miles from Hello, good afternoon. A new change in policy at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services could
00:01:58accelerate the denial of thousands of applications. Pay
00:02:01attention: from now on, officers
00:02:05will be able to immediately reject cases that do not include
00:02:09all required initial evidence. This eliminates the
00:02:12step of sending a request for additional evidence. As Viviana
00:02:16Ávila tells us, this measure will affect applicants for
00:02:19residencies, citizenships, and even asylum
00:02:21cases. In Chicago, this couple successfully
00:02:25passed their status adjustment interview and said that from the beginning
00:02:29they gathered the necessary evidence to support their case. We are
00:02:33a married couple that is constantly
00:02:36traveling together, doing bills together,
00:02:40so these are things that are in the house. In the
00:02:43most recent policy change, the Citizenship and Immigration
00:02:47Services informed that it restores the power of its
00:02:50officials to deny immigration processes if the required
00:02:54initial evidence is not presented. This lawyer explains
00:02:57what the change consists of. It seems that what they want to do is tolerate the number
00:03:00of case denials instead of giving you
00:03:03a Request for Evidence, a petition for additional
00:03:07networks. The return to evidence, so you can have the opportunity to present something that
00:03:10you missed. This previous policy allowed frivolous
00:03:14or substantially incomplete applications to delay
00:03:17USCIS processing for other people waiting in
00:03:21line, the agency said. We are always facing new
00:03:24policies from the Trump administration that make the legal
00:03:28immigration process more difficult. The policy takes effect immediately and
00:03:31Eastern Pacific. So far, applies to pending or filed applications from
00:03:35August 5th, including permanent residency,
00:03:38citizenship, and asylum cases. There is evidence,
00:03:41we must continue gathering evidence, whatever they say, so be it.
00:03:46Minnesota and Colorado concentrate And given this change, experts recommend, I tell clients that
00:03:48they have to be very careful when filling out their forms. If they are going to do them
00:03:52themselves, they have to review them 300 times, 500 times,
00:03:56make sure all the forms are filled out and seek legal
00:03:59advice from a lawyer.
00:04:01Review, review, and review, Viviana, what other changes are established in this
00:04:08insurance company raised my rule? Ilia, the maximum period for responding
00:04:10to a request for additional evidence remains 84
00:04:14days, but what changes with the new regulation is that this will be at
00:04:17the discretion of the immigration officer, who may
00:04:20a DUI, our agents will shorten those deadlines to respond to that additional
00:04:23evidence. That's why it's important for immigrants to check the
00:04:26date on which they are asked for those documents. Now,
00:04:30with so many changes in immigration rules, it's important for
00:04:34immigrants to be careful about
00:04:35Pietro Parolin, acknowledged the struggle of who they seek legal advice from, because they can fall into the hands
00:04:39of unscrupulous lawyers.
00:04:42perseverance of these women with Back to you, thank you very much, Viviana, for your report. President Trump
00:04:45today signed two executive orders that seek to restrict the
00:04:48right to birthright citizenship and so-called birth
00:04:51tourism. The measure focuses on specific cases
00:04:55such as children of diplomatic personnel of other governments in the United States and
00:04:59the children of people classified as foreign
00:05:02enemies. To understand a little more the scope of this new
00:05:05offensive by the Trump administration, I am joined by immigration lawyer
00:05:09Ezequiel Hernández. Good afternoon, Ezequiel. The Supreme Court has already ruled
00:05:12in favor of protecting birthright citizenship. What happens with this new executive
00:05:16order? That's right, Ilia, the Supreme
00:05:19Court has already ruled, but in that case, the Supreme Court
00:05:24citizenship could be done, but it did identify
00:05:27groups that perhaps are not subject to the Constitution, as you
00:05:31said, eh, children of diplomats who are not citizens of the
00:05:35United States, who work here in the United States,
00:05:38two children of, eh, those who are enemies of the United States.
00:05:42They can be people, eh, daughters of terrorists
00:05:45or, eh, those who are called terrorists here in the United
00:05:49States. Ah, that would be very dangerous because the United
00:05:52States can determine who is a terrorist or an enemy
00:05:56of the United States, and it can be very fluid. Number three,
00:05:59people who, eh, well, eh, are born in the
00:06:03territories of the United States, which also, eh,
00:06:06is, eh, a bit difficult to
00:06:08understand because, well, we have territories where citizenship has been given.
00:06:12And Congress has to act to change that. And finally, people who
00:06:16seek to commercialize birth here in the United
00:06:20States, companies that dedicate themselves to that. Now, Will Sharp, who is the
00:06:23White House personnel secretary, said that section 215A
00:06:26of the Immigration Act grants the president
00:06:30the authority to make these
00:06:33restrictions. Well, he has the authority to issue
00:06:37the executive order, as he did with the first one, but
00:06:40he also has the legal
00:06:43restrictions that the Supreme Court
00:06:46mentioned to him. This executive order is very
00:06:49different, and specifically for the territories
00:06:52and who is a terrorist, we will have to see this
00:06:56point of the Supreme Court, I believe. Of course, the second executive
00:06:59order, and you briefly mentioned it, specifically attacks
00:07:02birth tourism and even seeks
00:07:05to limit the use of surrogate mothers for this purpose. What's
00:07:09your take on this, Ezequiel?
00:07:13Yes, he asks the Department of State
00:07:16to focus on people who are pregnant
00:07:20or who are making it their purpose to come to the United
00:07:23States using a tourist visa to enter and give birth here in
00:07:27the United States, also to the Department of
00:07:30Homeland Security to review, deny, or revoke the visas of
00:07:33people who are trying to induce
00:07:37or work for people to
00:07:40bring them here to the United States and give birth. Ezequiel, thank you very
00:07:44much for all your clarifications. Good afternoon
00:07:47to you. Thank you. The White House today made
00:07:51a controversial post on its Instagram account, inspired by Spider-Man,
00:07:55to promote ICE raids. In the final
00:07:58image, the detainees are shown trapped in spiderwebs,
00:08:01alongside the message, "Illegal immigrants
00:08:05will be captured and deported." The caption
00:08:08reads, "Your friendly neighborhood ICE agents."
00:08:13Let's move on to other topics, health topics, because the health alert for
00:08:17Mexican jalapeños allegedly contaminated with
00:08:20salmonella is growing. The outbreak already affects 27 states in the country and has left at
00:08:24least 345 people sick with this
00:08:27bacteria. In Minnesota, a woman sued the Chipotle
00:08:30chain, arguing that she was hospitalized with
00:08:33sepsis after consuming one of their products. Reina
00:08:37Rodríguez spoke with consumers and business owners about the measures
00:08:41they are taking.
00:08:43A salmonella outbreak keeps U.S. health authorities
00:08:47on alert. It's important to wash them. More than 300
00:08:50people have fallen ill in 27 states, and at least
00:08:5336 have been hospitalized after consuming
00:08:55contaminated jalapeños.
00:08:59most of the cases. There are some that are roasted and others that
00:09:03you put to fry with oil. The investigation by
00:09:07the CDC and the FDA points to a batch of chili peppers from
00:09:10Sinaloa, Mexico, related to the company Coast Citrus Distributors
00:09:14based in California, which were distributed to wholesale
00:09:18restaurants in the country, and we make them eat
00:09:21jalapeño peppers. As a preventive measure, Chipotle and
00:09:24Qdoba removed jalapeños from their establishments and changed
00:09:28suppliers while investigations continue. Always
00:09:31wash farm products. I'm trying to
00:09:34avoid them, and if I absolutely have to buy them,
00:09:38wash them very well. Salmonella can cause
00:09:42diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain, symptoms that
00:09:46usually appear between 6 hours and 6 days after infection and
00:09:49can last from four to seven days. It is a disease, a
00:09:53microbe that is easy to eliminate with common antibiotics.
00:09:57Authorities recommend seeing a doctor if symptoms
00:10:00are intense or persistent, especially for children,
00:10:03the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.
00:10:07A lot of contamination, the
00:10:09water, what they irrigate with, where they irrigate, where it comes from, the process,
00:10:13all the trash. This new outbreak comes amid increased
00:10:17concern about food safety in the restaurant industry,
00:10:20and while another cyclosporiasis outbreak
00:10:23related to lettuce
00:10:25is being investigated, which could be linked to Taylor Farms operations
00:10:28in Mexico. Well, Reina, and what is the FDA saying about this
00:10:32salmonella
00:10:32outbreak?
00:10:36Ilia, the FDA is investigating whether some
00:10:39jalapeño peppers were distributed to supermarkets, so health
00:10:42authorities indicated that the agency could announce new
00:10:45measures, announcements on its website about market
00:10:48recalls. Ilia, we must be very attentive. Thank you very much, Reina.
00:10:52The United States temporarily suspended avocado imports from the
00:10:56Mexican state of Michoacán due to an alleged
00:10:59security threat. The measure responds to recent
00:11:03operations against local criminal groups and the capture
00:11:06of criminal leaders in the area. With some 2 million
00:11:10tons per year, Michoacán is the main producer of avocado in
00:11:14Mexico. President Donald Trump today rejected
00:11:17press reports claiming that the United States is facing a
00:11:21shortage of tactical missiles due to the
00:11:24war against Iran, missiles whose
00:11:27manufacturing can take up to 2 years and each one costs
00:11:31between 1 million and 1.7 million. The
00:11:34president assured that the country has enormous quantities of weaponry
00:11:38and that production continues to increase. From
00:11:41Washington, Pedro Rojas tells us about this
00:11:43controversy.
00:11:47Media reports of an alleged shortage of U.S. missiles
00:11:51put the White House and President Donald Trump on the defensive.
00:11:55The president wrote on Truth Social: "Those who leaked
00:11:58these treasonous statements are being pursued. Long
00:12:03sought." Experts do not doubt that after months
00:12:07of conflicts in the Middle East, years of aid to
00:12:10Ukraine, there will be an arsenal reduction.
00:12:14If another major event were to occur,
00:12:17we would have to deal with, "Well, I'm sending it to so-and-so or so-and-so."
00:12:21That's what the real crisis is. According to the War Department, missile
00:12:25manufacturing takes 1 to 3 years. Trump today
00:12:28praised Secretary Pete Hexed to discredit alleged
00:12:32differences over the availability of weapons and said how
00:12:36he wants to end the war with
00:12:37Iran.
00:12:42Analysts warn that if there is a shortage of missiles, China, for
00:12:45example, could consider invading Taiwan. The
00:12:49White House calls false the claims that President
00:12:52Trump had an argument with the Secretary of War due to the
00:12:56alleged low quantities of ammunition.
00:12:59Back to you, Ilia. Thank you very much, Pedro. Let's change the subject. We move to Cuba
00:13:03where the health crisis is worsening due to the accumulation of
00:13:06trash in the streets. Look at these images that the
00:13:10island's regime attributes to fuel shortages.
00:13:13Residents and passersby report bad odors, the presence of
00:13:17rodents, and also express their concern about the risk
00:13:20of contracting diseases.
00:13:23Upon returning from Mexico. We will tell you how the wars
00:13:27between organized crime groups are gaining ground on social
00:13:32school is approaching, and in view of ICE operations, teachers in California
00:13:36will help students get to schools. We already spoke with
00:13:40Ecuadorian fishermen who recount attacks on their boats by
00:13:44alleged US
00:13:45military.
00:13:51Oh, and if he doesn't look like the one in the picture.
00:13:55At least he's adventurous. And what if he's out of
00:13:58fashion?
00:14:02At least he plays the guitar. And if he has one cat or ten or
00:14:0635. Well, he likes
00:14:09animals.

00:17:38The death of content creator César Gastelum in Culiacán, Sinaloa, is
00:17:41being closely watched by Mexican authorities. At least 19
00:17:45influencers have been murdered in eight states
00:17:49of the country since 2024 to
00:17:52date, as Iván Macías explains, disputes between
00:17:55criminal groups seem to extend to the digital
00:17:58world.
00:18:00Those who stream or are involved in that whole thing, let me tell you that
00:18:04they live off that, I live off that. Authorities in Sinaloa
00:18:07opened an investigation without ruling out any hypothesis
00:18:11about the fatal attack against content creator César Gastelum in
00:18:15Culiacán.
00:18:18Videos like this, in which clothing similar to that of members of
00:18:21criminal groups was used, have a great popularity on the internet.
00:18:25He humorously recounted what Culiacán residents experienced by
00:18:29living closely with narcoculture and the violent actions that
00:18:32terrorize the population. They are looking for several cartels, like three
00:18:36cartels, dude. Although he made reference to the fact that none of this was
00:18:39true, in the digital world, hundreds of thousands of followers made
00:18:43him very popular and a profitable job for the young man who was also
00:18:47studying law. In January 2025, from
00:18:50an airplane, sheets with photos of 25 content
00:18:54creators, presumably close to criminal groups, were dropped,
00:18:57and several of them have been executed. Although Gastelum's image was not
00:19:01on those sheets, authorities are reviewing the content he published to
00:19:05find clues. Oh, my son doesn't have.
00:19:10The so-called influencers and content creators, without being journalists,
00:19:14carry out an informative task, and criminal groups seek to
00:19:17control what is said about them. Since then, the dispute over
00:19:21territory has grown into the digital realm. Perhaps influencers
00:19:24are not clear that assuming themselves as members of a
00:19:28criminal group automatically puts them on a collision course
00:19:32with rival criminal groups. Specialists also suggest the creation of a
00:19:35protection protocol, not the one currently used by journalists and
00:19:39activists, but one adapted to the level of risk and exposure that
00:19:43each influencer has. Ilia, that's all from Mexico, back to the studio.
00:19:47Thank you very much, Iván. Also in Mexico, the Prosecutor's Office arrested the former governor of
00:19:51Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre, for his alleged participation in the
00:19:54concealment of evidence in the Ayotzinapa case. Authorities
00:19:58maintain that he sought to hinder the investigation into the disappearance
00:20:01of the 43 students from the rural school in
00:20:042014, a case that remains
00:20:07unresolved. The Secretary of State of the Vatican,
00:20:13the searching mothers in Mexico, from the Basilica of
00:20:16Guadalupe, he compared the
00:20:19the unconditional love of the Virgin Mary. In Mexico, there are more
00:20:23than 130,000 missing and unidentified
00:20:26people. In Colombia, the countdown begins for
00:20:30the inauguration of the new president, Abelardo de la Espriella,
00:20:33which for the first time in more than a century will not be in Bogotá, the capital.
00:20:37More than 11,000 public force personnel are sealing off the city of
00:20:41Cali, where international delegations that will attend
00:20:44tomorrow's change of command ceremony have already
00:20:48begun to arrive. The outgoing president, Gustavo Petro, will not
00:20:51attend. In California, the return to school
00:20:54is marked by fear. Teachers in Los Angeles are
00:20:58organizing into patrols due to the concern of students and parents
00:21:02about the presence of immigration agents very close to
00:21:04schools. As Jaime García tells us, teachers seek
00:21:08to be the first line of defense in schools.
00:21:12Six days before starting his last year of high school. Raiz López
00:21:16Piers lives with the fear of returning to school. Mom said.
00:21:20He said his mother is an immigrant who just became a citizen,
00:21:24but he still fears she will be arrested by immigration agents. Students who
00:21:27are citizens are afraid, they have seen how their friends
00:21:31are stopped. We have many parents who are calling now, telling
00:21:35us that their children will go alone. Today, in front of
00:21:38the Los Angeles School District offices, the community
00:21:42self-defense coalition announced the creation of teacher
00:21:45patrols to protect students and parents
00:21:48of the second largest school district in the
00:21:51country. The truth is that we do not see a clear plan from the district, and that is
00:21:55why we as teachers want to do everything possible
00:21:58to organize other teachers so that we are ready and prepared
00:22:02in case there is an operation
00:22:05nearby or in one of the schools. In an interview on June
00:22:0930 with the Los Angeles affiliate DN+
00:22:11Univisión, the new school superintendent reaffirmed
00:22:15his commitment to the immigrant
00:22:16community.
00:22:20in Los Angeles due to the actions of immigration
00:22:23forces, it was part of my previous position to basically
00:22:26provide guidance for schools on how to respond.
00:22:30He made a statement on television, but in the
00:22:33meetings he has had with directors, so far
00:22:37he has not said anything about the topic of immigration. The return to school this

00:27:15Months after the U.S. attacks
00:27:19on Ecuadorian fishing boats, Amnesty
00:27:22International and Human Rights Watch warn that they must
00:27:26stop, they assure that these attacks under the pretext that
00:27:29the boats transport drugs
00:27:33constitute a violation of human
00:27:35rights, as Ana María Islas tells us, these events
00:27:39eh follow an official proposal from, still without
00:27:42an official response from the United States,
00:27:46the boat is burned, on March 17, the
00:27:49Ecuadorian boat Negra Francisca Duarte 2, with 16 fishermen on
00:27:53board, was attacked with drones
00:27:57the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific, while
00:28:00returning from weeks of fishing. the survivors point to
00:28:04U.S. military forces
00:28:06as responsible
00:28:09Americans, we were already returning to land and
00:28:13the drones were flying above us, circling us, the boat
00:28:16is burned, the boat was sunk and the fishermen
00:28:20were hooded and handcuffed on a maritime
00:28:23patrol, they told us to raise our hands, they pointed at us,
00:28:27after being detained and transferred for hours they were handed over to
00:28:30Salvadoran authorities in
00:28:34It's their worst mistake to have attacked us without having
00:28:37anything. All 16 were repatriated without criminal
00:28:40charges to Ecuador, but they were not the
00:28:42only ones.
00:28:45Nine days later, another Ecuadorian boat, the Don Maca, with 20
00:28:49fishermen on board, was hit by a drone 750
00:28:53nautical miles north of the port of Manta, Ecuador, an attack
00:28:57similar to that of the Negra Francisca, because we saw the patrol
00:29:00approaching. It was circling us. The
00:29:04survivors report having identified U.S. insignias
00:29:07on both the patrol and the military uniforms,
00:29:11in addition to speaking English and traveling with translators.
00:29:14Both cases could provide clues as to what happened to the
00:29:18fishing boat Fiorella, which disappeared with eight of its
00:29:21crew members on January
00:29:2220.
00:29:25None of these three events appear in the public record of Operation
00:29:29Southern Spear led by the Department of War in the Caribbean and
00:29:34the Pentagon has not provided N+ Univision with the
00:29:38requested information about this
00:29:39case.
00:29:42Fishermen have documented U.S. inspections in Ecuadorian waters
00:29:45like this one, on the Volga 2 boat. After
00:29:4914 hours, the crew was released without charges. Meanwhile,
00:29:52no one is taking responsibility for these events, these accounts
00:29:56raise questions about the possible involvement of the United States
00:29:59in arbitrary detentions and extrajudicial
00:30:03use of force, impacting fishing communities in the
00:30:06region. A report by Ana María Islas and
00:30:10with this information I bid you farewell until tomorrow, good evening.
