Mexican town welcomes US emigres – DW – 07/27/2025
More and more US citizens are deciding to leave their country because of growing hostilities against migrants and other social groups. Many are moving to Mexico. DW met with some of them in the city of San Miguel de Allende. An increasing number of Americans are choosing to leave the United States due to what they perceive as a growing atmosphere of hostility, particularly toward marginalized groups. Traditionally, Mexico has been a popular destination for retirees and digital nomads from the US, but now it's also attracting individuals who feel threatened because of their political beliefs, sexual orientation or human rights work. The American expatriate community in Mexico has become increasingly vocal, organizing protests and speaking out against US policies, especially those targeting migrants. Activists like Edgar Lopez from Democrats Abroad Mexico and American expat Veronica Gonzalez have condemned the racial motivations behind immigration enforcement and the criminalization of protest and Latino identity. For many, Mexico represents not just a geographical escape, but a refuge from what they see as an increasingly intolerant and repressive environment in the United States.

Awful way businesswoman, 40, died after plastic surgery on her BUTTOCKS
A well-known businesswoman who was beloved in her community died tragically after undergoing three cosmetic procedures shortly after her milestone birthday, authorities have revealed. Natália Cavanellas, 40, went into cardiac arrest Monday afternoon just moments after she had received an injection in her buttocks while on the operating table at San Gennaro Hospital in Sao Paulo. A Sao Paulo Civil Police report obtained by G1 news outlet showed that Cavanellas contracted the services of renown plastic surgeon Edgar Lopez to undergo a liposuction, injection to the buttocks and additional work on her breast implants. Lopez was nearing the end of the cosmetic surgery at about 4:20 pm local time when he applied an injection to the gluteal area. Cavanellas' heart stopped beating and the medical staff attempted to revive her before she was confirmed dead. 'The medical team reportedly began resuscitation maneuvers, but were ultimately unsuccessful, although the victim responded to initial resuscitation,' the police report said. 'The patient died in the operating room itself.' The operating staff told the investigating officers that they believed that Cavanellas' cardiac arrest may have been caused by a 'fat embolism,' which is caused by fat particles that reach the bloodstream and block the flow of blood. Cavanellas was not suffering from any known illnesses at the time of the surgery, her sister told the police. The businesswoman had gotten breast implants around two years ago and did not report any issues. A lawyer for Lopez said in a statement that Cavanellas had undergone a series of tests prior to the procedures. 'Unfortunately, the patient developed a serious complication, compatible with pulmonary embolism, a rare event, but recognized in the medical literature as possible, even with all the preventive measures adopted,' the attorney said. 'The responsible professional has been providing full assistance to the family, remaining available for technical clarifications, always respecting the patient, the family and medical confidentiality.' Lopez claimed on his professional website to be an expert in high-definition liposuction, which is also known as liposculpture, and mammoplasty. The surgeon also boasted about having been the first doctor in the South American nation to have used Renuvion, a minimal invasive technology that tightens the skin whether a person undergoes liposuction or not. While Lopez is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery stripped his recognition in May 2021 after it was found that he was not following their guidelines. In July 2021, the Regional Medical Council of the State of São Paulo banned Lopez from practicing medicine for six months before a court intervened two months later and reduced the punished to four months. The ban was extended in November and Lopez was allowed to resume his duties in May 2022. Cavanellas leaves behind her husband, whom she married in 2019, and the couple's three-year-old daughter. She ran her own public relations, marketing and events planning company, offering her support to a 'community with more than 800 businesswomen and executives.' In March, Cavanellas was honored by the São Paulo City Council as one of the 100 most successful women in business.
