FBI returns stolen Hernán Cortés manuscript to Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Nearly five centuries after Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés signed it and decades after someone swiped it from Mexico's national archives, the FBI returned a priceless manuscript page to Mexico on Wednesday. The FBI said in a statement that the document had changed hands various times over the years, so no one will be charged. 'This is an original manuscript page that was actually signed by Hernán Cortés on February 20, 1527,' said Special Agent Jessica Dittmer, a member of the FBI's Art Crime Team. By then, Cortés had conquered the Aztec empire in 1521, two years after landing in present-day Mexico. While archivists at Mexico's General Archive of the Nation were microfilming their collection of documents signed by Cortés in 1993, they discovered that 15 pages of the manuscript were missing. They believe it was stolen between 1985 and 1993. Mexico requested the help of the FBI's Art Crime Team last year for this particular page. The FBI eventually narrowed the search to the United States and located the document, though the agency did not say who had it. The New York City Police Department, U.S. Department of Justice and Mexico's government were all involved in the investigation. It is the second Cortés document the FBI has returned to the Mexican government. In 2023, the agency returned a 16th-century letter from Cortes. 'Pieces like this are considered protected cultural property and represent valuable moments in Mexico's history, so this is something that the Mexicans have in their archives for the purpose of understanding history better,' she said.

From jets to Florida luxury homes: U.S. seized a fortune from Maduro
The more than $700 million in assets the United States says it has confiscated from Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro includes multiple luxury properties in Florida, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday. Bondi's remarks to Spanish language outlet Fox Noticias followed Friday's announcement that the U.S. had doubled the bounty for the Venezuelan strongman to a record-setting $50 million for any information leading to his capture. At the time, she described Maduro as one of the world's top drug kingpins and said his trafficking organization poses a direct threat to the United States. Bondi said the United States has already seized a number of high-value assets linked to Maduro. 'These assets include two multimillion-dollar jets, multiple homes, a mansion in the Dominican Republic, several million-dollar homes in Florida, a horse farm, nine vehicles, luxury cars, and millions of dollars in jewelry and cash,' she said. 'Yet his reign of terror continues... and his organized crime operation continues to function.' Bondi did not provide details about the specific locations of the Florida properties. In the interview, she described Maduro's network as an organized crime operation, 'no different than the mafia,' claiming that it is deeply embedded within the Venezuelan military and closely tied to some of the most violent criminal groups in the hemisphere. In announcing the new bounty last week, Bondi said Maduro leads the Cartel of the Suns, a powerful narcotics organization that operates within Venezuela's armed forces while ruling the country and maintaining partnerships with the nation's notorious Tren de Aragua gang, Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel and other international syndicates. 'He is one of the world's biggest drug traffickers and a threat to our national security,' Bondi said. 'That's why we've doubled his bounty to $50 million.' A federal indictment in New York traces Maduro's rise inside the Cartel of the Suns. Prosecutors say that after the 2013 death of Hugo Chávez, Maduro evolved from a facilitator into the cartel's top leader, merging its operations with the Venezuelan state to shield it from prosecution. Court documents also claim the cartel's objective went beyond profit, accusing it of seeking to 'flood the United States with cocaine' as a means of causing social harm. Intelligence reports estimate that at least 250 tons of cocaine transited through Venezuela annually as of five years ago, but the volume has possibly doubled since to compensate for the collapse of oil income caused by U.S. sanctions. Bondi emphasized that despite the massive asset seizures, Maduro's organization continues to traffic narcotics on a global scale, using state infrastructure to protect and expand its reach. 'We will not stop until he is brought to justice,' she said. The $50 million reward—available to anyone worldwide who can provide actionable intelligence leading to Maduro's arrest and extradition—is the highest ever offered by the United States for a sitting head of state. It surpasses the $25 million previously offered for Maduro and eclipses past bounties placed on figures such as former Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega and Mexican drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán.

‘Help me, please!': Video captures ICE arrest outside L.A. courthouse
A man pleaded for help as federal agents carried him by his arms and legs away from Los Angeles' largest criminal courthouse Wednesday morning, marking another instance of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement using a tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community. The man, identified by two sources and court records as Steven Rony Reyes, was charged late last month with possession of drugs with intent to sell. He was in court on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing, records show. But when he exited the courthouse on Temple Street, he was quickly surrounded by multiple federal law enforcement officers, according to footage obtained by The Times and a witness who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Several men wearing surgical masks can be seen detaining Reyes, with some putting masks on once they realized they were being filmed. A man with a salt and pepper beard who appeared to be in charge of the arrest responded, 'Yes' when a woman in the crowd asked if he was with ICE, the video showed. Reyes can repeatedly be heard yelling in Spanish and screaming 'Please, help me!' over and over as officers drag him down Temple Street. They eventually lifted him by his arms and legs and carried him into a truck that was waiting in the street. Near the end of the video, it appears someone throws water at a federal law enforcement officer wearing a camouflage University of Alabama hat. It was not clear whether anyone else was arrested. Neither ICE or the Department of Homeland Security immediately responded to a request for comment. Spokespeople for the L.A. County Superior Court system and the district attorney's office did not respond to inquiries. Reyes is represented by the L.A. County Alternate Public Defender's Office, according to court records. The office's spokeswoman also did not respond to a request for comment. The incident marked at least the second time ICE has conducted arrests at an L.A. County courthouse since the Trump administration launched raids targeting undocumented immigrants in Southern California. In late June, agents arrested two women at the Airport Courthouse in West L.A. after lurking in a courtroom where they had appeared on theft charges. Advocates, defense attorneys and even some prosecutors have long sounded the alarm about the problems that could arise from ICE using state criminal courts as staging grounds for federal immigration enforcement. Such tactics have a chilling effect that could make people less inclined to come to court or serve as witnesses, critics say. 'Federal immigration enforcement activities inside courthouses disrupt court operations, breach public trust, and compromise the Court's constitutional role as a neutral venue for the peaceful resolution of disputes,' L.A. County Presiding Justice Sergio C. Tapia II said in a statement in June. 'These actions create a chilling effect, silencing victims, deterring witnesses, discouraging community members from seeking protection and deterring parties from being held accountable for their crimes or participating in legal proceedings critical to the rule of law.'
