Man found dead after falling from notorious Snowdonia hiking route
The tragic accident happened on Saturday morning, with a 36-year-old climber pronounced dead at the scene in Snowdonia and his body airlifted by a mountain rescue team A man tragically died after plummeting from a popular hiking route in Wales. The 36-year-old fell from the notorious Crib Goch in Eryri National Park (also known as Snowdonia National Park) on Saturday. Emergency services, including North Wales Police and the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, rushed to the scene following reports of a man falling from the ridge at 11.30am. However, although he was airlifted from the mountain the climber was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Formal identification is yet to take place but police say the man's next of kin have been informed, reports Wales Online. Inspector Jamie Owens said: "My deepest condolences remain with the man's family at this incredibly difficult time. Our investigation into the circumstances of this tragic incident is ongoing. "We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the fall to contact police via our website or by calling 101, quoting reference number 25000678802." This is not the first time someone has died while climbing in Eryri National Park this year. On February 22, civil engineer Maria Eftimova, 28, fell from the Tryfan north ridge - a popular but dangerous scrambling route. Bulgarian Maria - who had more than 10,000 followers on social media - was an experienced mountaineer and had not long completed an ice-climbing course in Norway. Her pal, Victoria Critchley, paid tribute to the social influencer who had been living in Manchester: "Maria was an ambitious, bright and cherished 28 year old, whose vibrant personality, energy and aura touched and uplifted all around her. "She had a passion for engineering, having studied Civil Engineering at the University of Salford and a love for extreme sports. Her biggest passion being Snowboarding, which she was super excited for and looking forward to doing again on her upcoming trip to Austria. "She had an insatiable thirst for life and exploring our world's beauty. Tragically, she was taken from her family far, far, far too soon!" Less than a week before Maria's death, which in June was ruled as accidental, another climber lost their life in the park. Dr Charlotte Crook, in her 30s, died while climbing Glyder Fach, located in the same region, on February 16. She and her colleague, Adam Weatherhogg, were walking in Snowdonia when she slipped and fell 30ft from a grassy ledge. Despite having a broken wrist, he tried in vain to save Charlotte for more than an hour. Senior coroner John Gittins praised his "amazing efforts" as he attempted chest compressions on his friend. Charlotte's parents said the hills and mountains were their only child's "happy place". The coroner reached a conclusion of accidental death that was a "conspiracy of all matters at that time, weather, route and loss of footing." In May 2024, the remains an experienced walker who went missing while trekking alone in Snowdonia were found 12 years on by a search and rescue team who were trying to locate a separate missing walker. Shayne Colaco disappeared in the summer of 2012 while walking alone in the Carneddau mountain range in Eryri.

Boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is jailed in Mexico after deportation
Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been deported and imprisoned in his native Mexico, according to arrest documents from the country's National Detention Registry. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the news of Chavez' impending incarceration on Tuesday. 'I understand he was deported. I don't know if it was yesterday or this morning, but we're informed that he was going to arrive in Mexico,' Sheinbaum told reporters. It's unclear where Chavez Jr. has been held since being taken into ICE custody in Los Angeles ' Studio City last month. He has since been transferred to a border checkpoint and jailed at a federal maximum-security prison in Hermosillo, Sonora. Chavez was picked up July 2 by ICE agents while riding his scooter in the upscale LA neighborhood of Studio City. 'Do you have anything in your shoes,' one agent is heard asking Chavez in Spanish in the clip recorded by Fox LA's Matthew Seedorff. 'No,' Chavez replied, before asking: 'Do you inform my lawyer when I have a warrant?' In its statement, DHS explained Chavez Jr's warrant related to 'his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives'. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: 'This Sinaloa Cartel affiliate with an active arrest warrant for trafficking guns, ammunition, and explosives was arrested by ICE. Chavez spent considerable time in his native Mexico and the US in recent years, but according to the Department of Homeland Security, his tourist visa expired in February of 2024. The agency further claimed Chavez filed several fraudulent statements while applying for permanent residence in April of 2024 after marrying Frida Muñoz, who is related to imprisoned Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. Chavez's father has openly spoken about his own relationships with the Sinaloa Cartel and, in particular, 'El Chapo.' In a podcast with journalist Javier Alarcon in 2021, Chavez revealed: 'Not just El Chapo, I've met all the most wanted drug traffickers, like Amado Carrillo, El Azul [Esparragoza], and El Mayo [Zambada]. 'I know them all, and they've all been my friends, but that's about it. Those people, if you know them, are good people.' Donald Trump's DHS has accused the Biden White House of allowing Chavez to re-enter the US illegally. 'It is shocking the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and COME BACK into our country,' assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. 'Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.' Chavez Jr. has fought more than 60 times as a professional but the 39-year-old barely laid a glove on Paul during their recent fight. Paul, who was fighting for the first time since his controversial clash with Mike Tyson, won by scores of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92.

Maine police officer detained by Ice agrees to leave US
A Maine police officer arrested by immigration authorities has agreed to voluntarily leave the country, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) said on Monday. Ice arrested the Old Orchard Beach police department reserve officer Jon Luke Evans, of Jamaica, on 25 July, as part of the agency's effort to step up immigration enforcement. Officials with the town and police department have said federal authorities previously told them Evans was legally authorized to work in the US. An Ice representative reached by telephone told the Associated Press on Monday that a judge has granted voluntary departure for Evans and that he could leave as soon as that day. The representative did not provide other details about Evans's case. Evans's arrest touched off a dispute between Old Orchard Beach officials and Ice. The police chief, Elise Chard, has said the department was notified by federal officials that Evans was legally permitted to work in the country, and that the town submitted information via the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s E-Verify program before Evans's employment. Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of homeland security, then accused the town of 'reckless reliance' on the department's E-Verify program. E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to check if potential employees can work legally in the US. The town was aware of reports that Evans plans to leave the country voluntarily, Chard said on Monday. 'The town reiterates its ongoing commitment to meeting all state and federal laws regarding employment,' Chard said in a statement. 'We will continue to rely on the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form and the E-Verify database to confirm employment eligibility.' Ice's detainee lookup website said on Monday that Evans was being held at the Donald W Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. However, a representative for Wyatt said Evans had been transferred to an Ice facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. Ice officials did not respond to requests for comment on the discrepancy. It was unclear if Evans was represented by an attorney, and a message left for him at the detention facility was not returned. Ice officials said in July that Evans overstayed his visa and unlawfully attempted to buy a firearm. The Maine news outlet WMTW reported Monday that Evans's agreement to a voluntary departure means he will be allowed to leave the US at his own expense to avoid being deported.
