NEW Q&A | U.S. Troops to Los Angeles: A Dangerous Escalation
As residents in Los Angeles protest a crackdown on undocumented migrants, Donald Trump has sent in military personnel. @bcfinucane.bsky.social explains why this order is an ominous sign.

Se registran 22 millones de votos nulos y en blanco, más que votos por futuros ministros
(2) A low 12% turnout revealing:
- MORENA's core mobilizing capacity
- Large indifference/major disapproval: one of every 5 votes cast for justices was either spoiled or unmarked. Could be simple mistakes (it was a complex vote) but also reports showing voters protesting through ballots

Morena toma la Suprema Corte
Los nueve candidatos que el partido gobernante proponía han salido elegidos. El abogado mixteco Hugo Aguilar, el más votado, se perfila como presidente del alto tribunal
Mexico's judicial election results are trickling in. So far we know Supreme Court votes. Full results, including all judges, will be tallied only until next week. Noticing two things:
(1) Ruling party, MORENA, is poised to control the Supreme Court with most of the future justices with party ties.

Colombia’s Stolen Children
Bogotá must do more to stop armed groups from recruiting minors.
Armed groups in #Colombia rely so heavily on child recruitment that in many areas, the war is over the kids.
Communities who stand in the way are targeted. Kids who resist or escape are killed.

It will take time to see if Sheinbaum's long-term security civilian strategy will actually reduce violent crime affecting Mexicans. For now, the militarized counternarcotics U.S.-backed response, tallied in arrests and seizures, has played well for both govs. But down the road the two might collide.

The White House war rumbling has no legal basis and the FTO designation doesn’t give the military that authority. Beyond the spectacle of military crackdowns, they have simply proven ineffective in reducing drug trafficking or violence. These two things have been openly recognised by DoD.

Sheinbaum has delivered greater law enforcement cooperation with the U.S. (dozens of jailed crime bosses transferred, many more presumably on the way, counternarcotics activity…) But the only item she’s demanded back, guns flowing south, has been largely ignored by the USG.

On the ground, lethal violence doesn’t seem to have changed much. Sheinbaum’s first six months in power saw just 139 fewer murder victims than the same period under López Obrador (Oct 23 - Mar 24), which means a roughly 1% decrease.

Sheinbaum’s more active stance against organised crime, though, predates Trump. Relying on fed forces, she’s left behind the “abrazos no balazos” and is poised to invest in civilian intelligence and policing. The question is whether her reforms will be sustainable and effective.

Trump’s demands are open-ended in nature. One day he praises Sheinbaum and the next the White House chastises her administration for not doing enough. Sheinbaum can’t help but keep reacting to Washington’s policy gyrations, underlining the highly asymmetric relationship between the two countries.
