“We’ve succeeded, as humans, to destroy huge amounts of nature on most of the world’s islands. Socotra is a place where we can actually really do something. But if we don’t, this one is on us.” Amazing story (and pics) by @a_hammerschlag https://t.co/5lQWqUIAwN

"You’re free to go,” the judge told 28-year old Colombian migrant Juan Serrano. Except he really wasn’t. Waiting as he exited the Miami courtroom were ICE agents who cuffed him against the wall and whisked him away in a van along with 12 other migrants. https://t.co/tP0ytp5z0i

When a Mexican ship struck the Brooklyn Bridge, the tide had just turned and a fast current flooded upriver. Such hazards are no match for a veteran captain, but mistakes can be costly in a busy, narrow harbor known for heavy winds and hidden eddies. https://t.co/Ip9qTwuxex

A Mexican security consultant who recently has taught counter-drug classes for the U.S. State Department has been shot and killed in a cartel ambush at a restaurant in Guadalajara. https://t.co/2nBZAlm05x

As Colombia's "Contraband King," Diego Marín is alleged to have built a money-laundering empire paying bribes to police officers and politicians. All he while he had an even more powerful ally: The Drug Enforcement Administration. @DEAHQ w/@JimMustian https://t.co/rmGqnoFRfz

RT @bg_buitrago: “Es una vergüenza para la DEA”, General Juan Carlos Buitrago. “Porque eso terminó creando un monstruo”. El aliado secreto…

Colombia has applied to join a China-based development bank, another sign of Latin America’s drift from the U.S. as Trump's foreign aid cuts, trade barriers and migration crackdown spurs regional leaders to seek closer ties with DC's geopolitical rival. https://t.co/jF4I4sx4hp

Colombia's "Contraband King" Diego Marín is alleged to have built a money-laundering empire paying bribes to police officers and politicians. An @AP investigation found he had an even more powerful ally: The Drug Enforcement Administration. w/@JimMustian https://t.co/rmGqnoFRfz

What a difference a year makes. The DEA's 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment contains an entirely new section on 🇻🇪Tren de Aragua and MS-13 from 🇸🇻— both designated foreign terrorist organizations by Trump. In last year's report, neither gang even merited a mention. @DEAHQ https://t.co/rYS70VKmKb

A federal judge in Tampa sentenced a former Colombian customs worker on Thursday to 12+ years in prison for taking more than $1 million in bribes in a money laundering conspiracy involving a corrupt U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent. https://t.co/vatHoj7HWX

“There was no clock, no window, no natural light,” recalled Osiris Vázquez about the nearly two weeks he spent in Krome, the U.S.' oldest migrant detention center. “You lost all notion of time, whether it’s day or night.” https://t.co/l7GhAaMHwi

As Trump sought to make good on his pledge of mass arrests, the U.S.' oldest immigration detention facility swelled to three times its capacity. “There are 1700 people here at Krome!!!!,” one @ICEgov employee who felt unsafe texted a co-worker. https://t.co/l7GhAaMHwi

Looks like Pesca Chile was folded into another krill fishery certificed by @MSCecolabel and run by U.S.-owned @AkerBioMarine https://t.co/DPycqohuc8

A Chilean trawler fishing for krill in Antarctica was criminally charged in death of a humpback whale caught in its net. The ship carried the @MSCecolabel even though the sustainability certifier suspended the ship's owner in 2023 for not allowing an audit. Photo: @seashepherd https://t.co/ZZS34EJmLj

Another whale death in the Antarctic krill fishery. Chilean regulators have filed a criminal complaint https://t.co/FPNxad9gD5

The whale deaths, which have not been previously reported, were discussed during recent talks between the U.S., China and 25 other countries in which officials missed conservation goals and lifted fishing limits in the Southern Ocean in place since 2009. https://t.co/F2qkhC5dwQ

The General Services Administration is an obscure agency playing an outsized role in Trump's quest to slash costs and bring the federal government to heel. @ByronTau @garanceburke @BrianSlodysko https://t.co/dLbEXsrChc
