Who is Robert Prevost, the First American to Become Pope Leo XIV in Vatican History? | New Pope

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties.

Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice.

With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Anti-Netanyahu Protests Erupt In Mexico As Protesters Call For Israel Ties To Be Severed Over Gaza

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 ā€œgenocideā€ against the Palestinian people. One protester, Enrique Ochoa, said the conflict could be summed up in one word: ā€œgenocide.ā€ The protest reflects growing outrage in Latin America over Israel’s 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. #MexicoIsrael #TijuanaProtests #GazaCrisis #PalestineSolidarity #BreakTiesWithIsrael #GenocideInGaza #MexicoPolitics #IsraelGazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #LatinAmericaProtests #ProPalestineMarch #HumanRightsCrisis #IsraelPalestineWar #CeasefireNow #DiplomaticTensions #ForeignPolicy #MexicoNews #GlobalProtests #GazaUnderAttack #GazaGenocide ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~

Bolsonaro Supporters Protest 'Out of Control': Thousands Slam Lula as U.S. Slams Brazil with Tariffs

Chaos erupts in Brazil as thousands of Bolsonaro supporters flood the streets of SĆ£o Paulo, waving U.S. flags and chanting "SOS Trump." The protests turned violent as demonstrators raged against President Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes—who is presiding over Bolsonaro's coup trial. In a stunning move, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports and sanctioned the top judge, calling the trial a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Bolsonaro. The political earthquake has triggered global backlash and ignited fears of escalating unrest across Latin America.

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty. The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil. Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms. #TrumpArrested #BolsonaroProtest #BrazilVsUSA #TariffWar #SaoPauloProtest #TrumpTariffs #EconomicBlackmail #MockArrest #GlobalBacklash #USBrazilTensions #StopTheTariffs #PoliticalTheater #StreetJustice #LatinAmericaResists ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

Trump To WARN 12 Countries In Secret Trade Letters | White House Teases 'Bold Moves' For American…

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 ā€œthe 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 didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time. #TrumpTrade #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseBriefing #TradeDeal #AmericanJobs #EconomicNationalism #TradeBlitz #12Countries #GlobalEconomy #TrumpPolicy #USForeignPolicy #PresidentialLetters #TradeWar #AmericaFirst #PressConference #LeavittStatement #USTradeUpdate #TrumpMoves #Geopolitics #InternationalTrade ~HT.410~ED.194~

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside  Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV [Video]

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV

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. #SanFrancisco #ICE #USNews #Protest #BreakingNews #LatestNews #ViralVideo #OneindiaNews #Immigration #WorldNews Also Read ICE Allegedly Violated Rights of US Citizen and 21 Others During Arrests in Chicago :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ice-violated-rights-us-citizen-chicago-activists-allege-011-4097557.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Faces Critical Health Challenges in San Francisco ICU Due to Heart Issues :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016713.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Admitted to ICU in San Francisco Due to Heart Problems :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016689.html?ref=DMDesc
