Como Mayor Bans Cyclists from City Center After Being Hit by a Bike

Newly released emails obtained by the Associated Press reveal that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) quietly worked with the Iranian government in 2025 to facilitate the deportation of Iranian nationals. The emails document a working relationship between American immigration officials and Iranian authorities, a country with which the U.S. has had no formal diplomatic relations for decades. The cooperation appears to have been conducted without broad public disclosure, raising serious questions about U.S. foreign policy consistency and the legal framework governing such arrangements. The revelation is particularly striking given longstanding tensions between Washington and Tehran, including sanctions and mutual hostility. Critics and legal observers are likely to scrutinize whether the arrangement complied with U.S. law and whether it set a precedent for engaging adversarial governments on immigration enforcement. The disclosure adds to ongoing debate about the Trump administration's aggressive deportation agenda and the lengths to which it is willing to go to carry it out. No immediate official response from ICE or the State Department has been reported.

The mayor of Kyiv has reported a rare attack targeting the Ukrainian capital's infrastructure, according to a live blog published by Curaçao-based news outlet Nu.cw. The report is part of ongoing coverage of the war in Ukraine, which has been active since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Infrastructure attacks on Kyiv have periodically disrupted power, water, and heating services for millions of residents. While specific details of this particular strike were not elaborated in the excerpt, such attacks are typically carried out using missiles or drones. The mayor's public statement signals an effort to keep citizens informed while managing potential panic. The war continues to have global ripple effects, including on energy markets and international diplomacy. Caribbean media outlets like Nu.cw have been following the conflict as part of broader international news coverage.

Curaçao Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas has ruled out renting Aggreko generators as a solution to the island's ongoing energy crisis, citing prohibitive costs. Pisas stated that the preferred path forward is the installation of a turbine at the CRU (Centrale Refinerie Utilities) facility. The announcement comes as Curaçao continues to grapple with persistent electricity shortages that have caused widespread blackouts affecting residents and businesses. While Aggreko's mobile generator units had been discussed as a short-term fix, the government determined the financial burden was not justifiable. The CRU turbine option is seen as a more sustainable and cost-effective solution, though a clear timeline for its implementation has not yet been publicly confirmed. The energy crisis has put significant pressure on the Pisas administration to deliver reliable power to the population.
