Tensions are rising in Tijuana as protesters gathered outside the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry demanding the government immediately sever diplomatic relations with Israel over its actions in Gaza. Demonstrators held signs and chanted slogans denouncing what they described as āgenocideā against the Palestinian people. One protester, Enrique Ochoa, said the conflict could be summed up in one word: āgenocide.ā The protest reflects growing outrage in Latin America over Israelās military actions and the rising civilian death toll in Gaza.
The gathering in Tijuana adds to international pressure on Mexico to take a firmer stance. While Mexico has expressed concern over the violence, it has stopped short of condemning Israel outright or taking diplomatic action. The demands of the protestors echo similar calls in global capitals as pro-Palestinian movements grow louder. No official response from the Mexican government has been issued at the time of this report.

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure āthe best deals for the American people and the American worker.ā The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didnāt name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administrationās strategy reflects Trumpās longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape.

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators.
The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd.
The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States.
