Community rallies around LA teen detained by Ice while walking dog
A southern California community is calling for the release of a high school student whom US immigration agents arrested earlier this month while he was walking his dog. Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz was supposed to be starting his senior year of high school at Reseda charter high school this month. But just days after his 18th birthday, masked Ice agents detained him as he walking his dog in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Van Nuys in what his family described as a kidnapping. The agents allowed his dog to run loose, and treated Guerrero-Cruz like a criminal and joked while arresting him, his family said in a GoFundMe. 'He is more than just a student – he is a devoted son, a caring brother, a loyal friend, and a valued member of our community,' the family wrote, adding that he helps care for his younger brothers. 'He is a good student, with a kind heart, who has always stepped up for his family.' Educators and advocates are expected to hold a rally and press conference in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon to call for Guerrero-Cruz's release. A former teacher who recently visited the teen is expected to share an update, ABC7 reported. The arrest comes as Donald Trump's crackdown on immigrants continues to unfold across southern California, where thousands of people have been arrested this summer at workplaces, at stores and near schools. Related: Inside the neighborhood patrols watching for Ice: 'They thought they could scare us – but this is LA' Los Angeles Unified school district, which has nearly 800 schools across the county, has adopted new strategies to protect students and 'ensure that schools remain safe, supportive spaces for all children and families – regardless of immigration status'. 'Schools are safe spaces,' Alberto M Carvalho, the LAUSD superintendent, said in a statement. 'Immigration enforcement near schools disrupts learning and creates anxiety that can last far beyond the school day.' Carvalho has said he is in communication with Guerrero-Cruz's mother, who has alleged that the boy was being held with dozens of men, receiving water only once a day and insufficient food, in a space that doesn't have enough room for everyone to sit or lie at the same time. The teen was reportedly being held at a detention center in Adelanto, where people have reported filthy conditions and not having access to clean clothes and towels for days at a time. His sudden arrest has sparked outrage in his community. Fellow soccer players said it was 'heartbreaking to see him taken from us like this, and we'll truly miss not just the player, but the person he was'. The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to the Guardian that Guerrero-Cruz was being detained pending his 'removal' from the US. moval' from the US. 'Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, an illegal alien from Chile, overstayed his visa by more than two years, abusing the Visa Waiver Program under which he entered the United States, which required him to depart the United States on March 15, 2023,' the agency said.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. immediately arrested in Mexico after U.S. deportation, being held in maximum-security prison
Julio César Chávez Jr. has been deported from the United States to his native Mexico, where the boxer was immediately arrested and jailed in Sonora. Chávez was initially arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in early July — just four days after losing a unanimous decision to Jake Paul — in Studio City, California for overstaying his visa and lying on a green-card application. He was detained in the United States for more than a month before he could be deported Monday and arrested in Mexico for alleged involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition and explosives. It is claimed that the four-year-long investigation into Chávez began in 2019 and found him to have ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, with an warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico in 2023. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed Chávez's deportation on Tuesday to reporters. Chávez Jr. is currently being held in a federal maximum-security prison in Hermosillo, Sonora. Chávez, a former WBC middleweight champion, is the son of the legendary boxer Julio César Chávez Sr. He famously battled Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in 2017 but lost handily in the all-Mexican affair. Recently, Chávez Jr. has been battling alcohol addiction and has competed at a lower level since quitting on the stool against Daniel Jacobs in 2019. Chávez's loss to Paul was a disappointment for many boxing purists as the former champion was reluctant to engage for much of the contest, though when he did let his hands go in the final couple of rounds, he had success — leading many to feel that if he had began the fight with the intent to win, rather than survive, he might've emerged victorious against Paul.

UK Drops Push for Apple Encryption Back Door After U.S. Talks
The UK has agreed to drop its push for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to create a back door into encrypted data, U.S. director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said, calling it a win for privacy rights. Over the past few months, I've been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside President Trump and Vice President Vance, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected, Gabbard said in a statement on Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with ARM. The original U.K. order, issued in January under the Investigatory Powers Act, faced heavy backlash from Apple, privacy advocates, and lawmakers in both countries. Critics warned it would weaken security globally and set a precedent for governments to demand access to personal data. According to the Financial Times, Vice President JD Vance personally stepped in during a recent UK visit to negotiate a compromise. A U.S. official said Vance secured a mutually beneficial understanding that Britain would rescind the order, though it has not yet been formally withdrawn. For Apple and its users, the move preserves the company's encryption stance and avoids what could have been a major turning point in the global privacy debate.
