BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Congressional seats are now back in the forefront of many people’s minds as more states push to alter existing maps. Louisiana had a years-long legal battle over the creation of a second Black-majority district. The U.S. Supreme Court was scheduled to decide over the summer whether the map violated the Voting Rights Act, but pushed the decision to next term, saying additional questions need answering. Protections of the Voting Rights Act are under threat as the law marks its 60th anniversary “As the Court prepares to revisit this case, I’m reminded of what’s at stake: the right of every Louisianian—regardless of race—to have a voice in our democracy. The Voting Rights Act was designed to protect that right. It’s time we uphold it, not undermine it,” Congressman Troy Carter (D-LA) said after the Supreme Court decided to rehear the case. On Friday, Aug. 1, the Supreme Court directed parties to file briefs on whether Louisiana’s creation of the second majority-minority congressional district violates the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments. Appellants are ordered to submit briefs by an Aug. 27 deadline. Attorney General Liz Murrill defended the maps in March of this year, saying there’s “no question” Louisiana should prevail in the case. Is gerrymandering legal?

Texas state Sen. Royce West has served in the Lone Star State’s Legislature since 1992. In his three decades of public service, he’s been through a couple of rounds of congressional redistricting. That inherently political process can often be bruising, and the debate is often impassioned. But he said he’s never seen an effort to reshape his home state’s congressional map like he’s seeing now. For one, it’s happening well before the once-a-decade release of U.S. Census data that’s critical to fairly apportioning representation for all Texans on Capitol Hill, he said. For another, the effort, led by Republicans who hold a supermajority across state government, is coming at the behest of President Donald Trump and just months before the 2026 midterm elections that will determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives, he continued. And he and his Lone State colleagues have just one word to describe it: “RiggedDistricting.” And since he was in Boston this week to call attention to a partisan fight that’s made headlines nationwide — and to attend a conclave of state legislators that drew thousands of his colleagues to the city’s Seaport district — West decided to put his argument in terms that the locals could appreciate. “You know, there’s some guy by the name of Paul Revere, and I remember in history, he was traveling around saying, ‘The British are coming,“ West said during a news conference on the steps of the State House on Wednesday. “Well, we’re traveling now, saying ‘RiggedDistricting’ is coming,’” he continued. In public appearances across Boston this week, the Texas Democrats warned that the GOP-led effort to effectively erase five currently majority-minority seats is a prelude to a nationwide fight over voting rights and representation for Black and brown Americans nationwide. West and other Texas lawmakers were joined at Wednesday’s news conference by Democratic legislators from three dozen states, several of whom sounded a similar warning. Missouri state Rep. Ashley Aune said her state is next on the GOP’s redistricting wish list, with Republicans in the Show Me State looking to take a 6-2 majority on Capitol Hill and expand it to 7-1. “I serve with a super-majority of Republicans in Missouri. And for the last several years under [former President Joe] Biden, we heard [from Republicans] ‘We can’t listen to the federal government. We can’t trust anything coming from the federal government,” she said. “We’re ‘The Show-Me State’. All right, well, I guess Donald Trump showed us some maps, and we’re just gonna jump. What I keep reminding my Republican colleagues across the aisle is that Donald Trump is a president. He is not a dictator; he is not a king. But he is an authoritarian,” Aune said. Trump injected himself into the fiery debate on Tuesday, announcing that he believes Lone Star State Republicans are “entitled to five more seats” on Capitol Hill. If the effort in Texas is successful, Democrats would face a steeper climb as they seek to retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. Republicans currently hold a 219-212 edge in the lower chamber, with four vacancies. Right now, Democrats only would have to flip a handful of seats to retake control. The Texas contingent met with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Secretary of State William L. Galvin, both Democrats, on Tuesday. There, they sounded a similar warning. Galvin, the state’s chief election officer, wryly noted that gerrymandering takes its name from former Vice President Elbridge Gerry, a Marblehead native. Wednesday’s news conference fell on the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, which resulted in more than 1 million Black Americans registering to vote in the four years after it was passed, according to the Brennan Center. Massachusetts State Rep. Carlos Gonzalez, D-10th Hampden, implored the crowd to “listen to what we can do to continue to support our state legislators in Texas.” Like other lawmakers, Gonzalez positioned the fight in Texas as a broader, nationwide battle. “It is a united cause that we must continue to fight,” he said. “It is right. Not only right for Texas, but right for California; not only right for Texas, but right for Massachusetts; not only right for blue states, but right for red states and the United States of America.” More on PoliticsHarvard and Trump admin await judge’s decision as deadline ticks closer This is the one American both Democrats and Republicans agree they love Springfield city councilor files lawsuit against former colleagues, alleging ‘calculated attack’ Officials say coding error caused parts of constitution to vanish from website Sections of the US Constitution have vanished from a government website.

Former DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond officially launched his bid to be Georgia’s next governor on Wednesday with an attention-grabbing campaign ad that appears to take a shot at President Donald Trump. Footage of Thurmond speaking at a “No Kings” protest in Athens in June is featured in the “Boots on Georgia Ground” ad, which cites “inflation, health care, crime” as three of the issues he wants to address. The nationwide No Kings protests were organized in opposition to Trump’s military parade and the unilateral actions his administration has taken since his inauguration in January, including the layoff of thousands of federal workers in the Atlanta metro area. Thurmond is heard shouting “don’t get discouraged” during the ad, which centers on Georgians organizing in opposition to Trump’s political agenda, including sweeping cuts to social safety net programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and HUD rental assistance. “I’m running for governor to fight for working families, protect and expand access to healthcare, and build an education system that creates multiple pathways to success,” Thurman wrote in a Wednesday morning Facebook post announcing his run for governor. Read More: Progressive Candidate Bucks Establishment in Run For Governor “Washington Republicans have put 750,000 Georgians’ access to healthcare at risk and cut critical food assistance to struggling families – but the fight is just beginning,” he continued. “Let’s put our boots on Georgia ground to get the job done.” Thurmond stands out in an increasingly crowded field of gubernatorial candidates as the only Black contender to previously win a statewide office race. The 72-year-old Athens native made history in 1998 when he won Georgia’s race for labor commissioner, becoming the first non-incumbent Black person ever elected to a statewide office in the Peach State. He’s hoping to make history again next year as the state’s first Black governor-elect, but he’ll have to defeat several competitive Black contenders in the Democratic primary to do so. Trump has helped the Republican Party make gains with Black voters, both in Georgia and across the country, since his first run for president in 2016, but an overwhelming majority of Black people still vote Democrat. Any Democratic candidate for a statewide office race has to maximize their appeal to Black voters, who represent nearly a third of the electorate, without turning off non-Black voters. State Rep. Derrick Jackson, D-Tyrone, threw his hat in the ring in June. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms recently secured endorsement from the American Federation of Government Employees, looking to capitalize on the anger many still have over Trump laying off thousands of federal workers. Read More: Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Announces Run for Governor State Sen. Jason Esteves, D-Atlanta, has been racking up endorsements of his own. And Stacey Abrams hasn’t silenced speculation that she plans to launch a third try to become Georgia’s next chief executive.

Chinese authorities are using nets, spraying insecticide and even deploying drones to fight the mosquito-borne chikungunya virus, which has infected thousands of people. Authorities had reported more than 7,000 cases of the virus as of Wednesday, mostly in the southern Chinese manufacturing hub of Foshan, some 170 kilometers (105 miles) from Hong Kong. The number of new cases appears to be dropping slowly, according to authorities. It appears to be the largest chikungunya outbreak ever documented in China, according to Cesar Lopez-Camacho of the University of Oxford. The virus is transmitted by infected mosquitoes and can cause fever and joint pain. “What makes this event notable is that chikungunya has never been established in mainland China before,” Lopez-Camacho said in a statement. “This suggests that most of the population had no preexisting immunity, making it easier for the virus to spread quickly.” Chinese state television has shown workers spraying insecticide around city streets, residential areas, construction sites and other areas where people may come into contact with mosquitoes. Workers sprayed some places before entering office buildings. Unusually heavy rains and high temperatures have worsened the crisis in China, and authorities are using drones to try to find standing water, where mosquitoes lay eggs. Authorities also have threatened to fine people who don’t empty water from outdoor receptacles. Residents can be subject to fines of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,400) and have their electricity cut off. Because of the virus, the US has issued a travel advisory suggesting that Americans take extra precautions when visiting China’s Guangdong province, where Foshan is located, as well as Bolivia and some island nations in the Indian Ocean. Since the 2003 SARS outbreak, China has used strict measures to fight the spread of viruses, including hard-line tactics during the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, patients are being forced to stay in hospital in Foshan for at least one week and authorities briefly enforced a two-week home quarantine, which was dropped because the disease cannot be transmitted between people. Reports also have emerged of attempts to stop the spread of chikungunya with fish that eat mosquito larvae and even larger mosquitoes to eat the insects carrying the virus. Officials have held meetings and adopted protocols at the national level in a sign of China’s determination to eliminate the outbreak and avoid public and international criticism.

Egypt said on Wednesday that its much-anticipated new $1-billion archaeological museum near the Pyramids of Giza will officially open on November 1 after several delays. Authorities hope that the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which boasts the treasures of Tutankhamun among its collection of more than 100,000 ancient Egyptian artefacts, will attract visitors from around the world. Official say that at 50 hectares (124 acres), the museum will be the largest in the world dedicated to a single civilisation. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly told a cabinet meeting that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had approved the new opening date. He said the opening would "an exceptional event" that would showcase Egypt's cultural heritage and attract visitors from around the world. It had been set for July 3 but was postponed when Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities on June 13 sparking a 12-day war that closed airspace across much of the Middle East. The project has faced a series of setbacks, including political unrest and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Authorities anticipate that the museum will draw five million visitors per year in a major boost to the tourism industry, which is a key foreign exchange earner for Egypt. maf/kir View the full article

Getty ImagesLas cerezas se están pudriendo en los árboles de los huertos de Ian Chandler. Rama tras rama cuelgan cargadas de frutos que el granjero de Oregon llama “momificados”: oscuros, marchitos y poco apetitosos. Deberían haber sido recogidas hace un par de semanas para tentar a los compradores en mercados y tiendas, o haber sido procesadas para adornar los cócteles sin alcohol de Shirley Temple, brillantes y gordas, explotadas de dulzura. La cosecha perdida ha afectado a casi una cuarta parte de las 50 hectáreas de cerezos de Chandler, no por mal tiempo, enfermedades o plagas, sino porque no había nadie para recoger la fruta. PUBLICIDAD“Este invierno verán un montón de mapaches gordos y felices”, dijo Chandler con tristeza, de pie entre sus árboles aún cargados. “Desafortunadamente, no pudimos cosecharlos”, agregó. Dijo que había formado una fuerza laboral temporal leal para su operación en el condado de Wasco, llamada CE Farm Management, a unos 90 minutos de Portland. Las mismas personas llegaban año tras año y se mantenían en contacto con anuncios de nacimientos y tarjetas navideñas. Pero este año, la mitad no llegó, y muchos de sus vecinos también estaban buscando recolectores. En total, Chandler dijo que perderá entre US$ 250.000 y 300.000 en ingresos, que se pudrirán en los árboles. “Es una pérdida de ingresos para la operación, pero también es una pérdida de ingresos para los trabajadores que habrían podido recogerlos si hubieran estado aquí”, dijo. “El comienzo de la temporada coincidió, lamentablemente, con la aplicación muy estricta de las leyes migratorias en el sur de California, de donde proviene nuestra fuerza laboral, y eso tuvo un efecto disuasorio en quienes querían mudarse”, indicó. Los recolectores de Chandler son en su mayoría latinos que siguen las cosechas en el oeste y el noroeste. Pero con las redadas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés) en ciudades y lugares de trabajo, y las detenciones e incluso deportaciones de muchos de ellos que carecen de antecedentes penales, hay una drástica disminución de la mano de obra este año. Chandler dijo que sus trabajadores han estado viniendo a su granja todos los años, pero ahora muchos tienen miedo de viajar. - Evelio Contreras/CNNCerezas sin cosechar en uno de los árboles de Chandler. El agricultor estima que perderá más de US$ 250.000 en ingresos. - Norma Galeana/CNNEs una situación que se repite en todo el país en momentos en que los cultivos maduran para la cosecha. El Departamento de Agricultura de EE.UU. estima que el 42 % de los trabajadores agrícolas contratados son inmigrantes indocumentados, sin autorización para trabajar. Otro 26 % son inmigrantes que sí han obtenido la ciudadanía o la residencia permanente. PUBLICIDADDesde abril, 1,4 millones de personas han abandonado la fuerza laboral estadounidense, de las cuales 802.000 nacieron en el extranjero, según la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales. Los trabajadores agrícolas no se incluyen en los informes mensuales oficiales de empleo, pero los analistas coinciden en que la política migratoria está teniendo un impacto general en todo el país. El asunto ha llamado la atención del presidente Donald Trump, quien prometió ayuda al sector agrícola en una entrevista telefónica con CNBC este martes por la mañana. “Cuido de los agricultores. Los quiero. Son una parte muy importante de este país, y no queremos hacerles daño”, declaró. El vicepresidente, J. D. Vance, ha dicho que su solución preferida ante este problema es la automatización. Pero la granja de Chandler no será mecanizada; él cree que las cerezas se cosechan mejor a mano, preferiblemente con alguien con experiencia para no arruinar la cosecha que ya está brotando para el año siguiente. Contrata a trabajadores locales, pero dice que los habitantes de Oregon, ya sean estudiantes en vacaciones de verano o adultos que buscan empleo a tiempo completo, solo duran en puestos no relacionados con la recolección, como escanear cubos de frutas y verduras o conducir un tractor. “Trabajé en la industria de la cereza en los 90, cuando estaba en la preparatoria, y luego volví a esta industria en 2011, hasta la fecha. No se encuentra gente que nazca aquí en Estados Unidos, a menos que sean hijos de inmigrantes que ya se dedican a este trabajo, que quieran trabajar en este tipo de industria”, dijo. “Simplemente no existen”. Sin embargo, todos los que contrata Chandler proporcionan identificación y autorización de trabajo por lo que no sabe quién de ellos podría estar en el país ilegalmente. PUBLICIDAD“Hemos tenido relaciones con estos trabajadores durante años”, dijo. “Hablas con una familia, estableces una buena relación, te recomiendan a más familiares, y así es como se fortalece la fuerza laboral. Podrías tener a todos los niños nacidos en Estados Unidos, pero si la madre todavía está intentando tramitar su visa y tiene un problema, toda la familia podría decir: ‘Mira, no vamos a arriesgarnos, porque no queremos que la detengan, así que nos quedaremos en California’. Entonces, perdemos nuestra fuerza laboral”. Muchos agricultores ofrecen alojamiento a sus empleados temporales. Pero cabañas como esta han estado vacías este año. - Evelio Contreras/CNNQuedarse en casa “para estar seguro”Una de las personas ausentes de las granjas de Oregon este año es una mujer que nos pidió que la llamáramos Lisa. Tiene permiso para trabajar a través del programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés), pero pidió que no se usara su nombre real por temor a que pudiera obstaculizar la renovación de su DACA. Sus tres hijos pequeños son ciudadanos estadounidenses, pero le preocupa su madre y su padrastro, quienes han vivido en Estados Unidos durante décadas como trabajadores indocumentados, por lo que se quedó en California. “Mis padres son trabajadores agrícolas y temporarios, así que cada verano emigran al estado de Oregon para trabajar en la temporada de cerezas”, dijo, y añadió que ella y sus hijos solían acompañarlos. “Pero este año, decidimos quedarnos en casa por seguridad”. PUBLICIDADMientras Chandler señaló las pérdidas financieras que él y sus trabajadores sufrirán esta temporada, Lisa destacó el impacto en los pequeños agricultores como Chandler. Ambos afirmaron que el gobierno federal también saldrá perdiendo. “No hay negocios turbios bajo la mesa. Todo es legal”, dijo Chandler, quien mostró las deducciones que hacía del cheque de cada trabajador para pagar impuestos federales y locales y hacer contribuciones a Medicare y al Seguro Social. “Parece haber una gran desconexión cuando (los opositores dicen): ‘Existe una economía sumergida de personas indocumentadas que reciben ciertos pagos’. No, todo es legal. Todos muestran sus documentos para trabajar”. Lisa dijo que se dedujeron automáticamente alrededor de US$ 150 de su cheque de pago de aproximadamente US$ 900, y pensó que lo mismo era cierto para sus padres a pesar de que no pueden solicitar un reembolso de impuestos o usar Medicare o el Seguro Social, a los cuales contribuyen. Trump también planteó el argumento fiscal en su entrevista con CNBC. “Vamos a implementar normas y regulaciones. Es decir, verán a un agricultor con la misma persona trabajando para él durante 20 años. Incluso pagando impuestos y otras cosas”, dijo Trump, al distinguir entre los inmigrantes indocumentados que trabajan duro en el campo y quienes cometen delitos violentos. Lisa dijo que está preocupada por su madre y su padrastro, quienes han recogido cosechas en granjas estadounidenses durante años. - Evelio Contreras/CNNLa palabra “criminal” fue un detonante para Lisa, quien se quebró emocionada al decir que su madre no había cometido ningún delito. Y destacó el papel que desempeñaron sus padres para llevar la comida en las mesas estadounidenses durante el brote de covid-19. “Recuerdo que en 2020, cuando estalló la pandemia, mis padres eran considerados trabajadores esenciales”, dijo. “Mis padres trabajaban, exponiéndose, para llevar comida a la mesa de otras personas”. Los trabajadores agrícolas recibieron un permiso especial para viajar y trabajar cuando gran parte del país se quedó en casa en 2020. Lisa, entonces técnica en emergencias médicas, también estaba ocupada, dijo. “Ese año, ese verano, mis padres llevaron a mis hijos a Oregon solo para que yo pudiera trabajar en la primera línea de la atención sanitaria y transportar pacientes al hospital para que recibieran el tratamiento que necesitaban. Mis padres los mantuvieron seguros durante ese tiempo para que yo pudiera estar en primera línea”, contó. “¿Quién va a hacer estos trabajos si renunciamos?”En los campos de Oregón, agricultores y administradores intentan mantener la moral alta. Chandler aprovecha sus seis años de servicio como oficial de infantería del Ejército, intentando animar a sus trabajadores como alguna vez animó a sus tropas en Iraq. “Hay que tener la fortaleza de espíritu para seguir adelante, porque todos tus trabajadores dependen de ti, y… hay que mostrar una cara positiva”, explicó En una granja de bayas cercana, el supervisor de equipo Manuel Nava dijo que sus equipos de recolectores querían, por supuesto, el dinero que les haría ganar cada contenedor de fruta (alrededor de US$ 5 por cada balde de arándanos recogidos), pero también sentían que merecían respeto. “Cuando escuchan todos esos comentarios en las noticias y la televisión, no les gusta”, dijo. “Dicen: ‘Miren cuánto trabajamos bajo el sol cuando hace 27, 30 ºC… ¿quién va a hacer los trabajos si renunciamos o nos vamos?’. Es una conversación importante. Es un trabajo duro”. Nava afirmó que estas medidas represivas tienen implicaciones más amplias y advirtió que se extenderán más allá de la agricultura. Muchos de sus trabajadores rotan entre diferentes industrias al terminar la temporada, incluyendo la fabricación de coronas navideñas. Manuel Nava supervisa a su cuadrilla de recolectores en una granja de bayas. - Evelio Contreras/CNNNava dijo que los recolectores vinieron originalmente de México y Centroamérica. - Evelio Contreras/CNNUn balde de arándanos le genera a un trabajador alrededor de US$ 5, menos los impuestos federales y locales. - Evelio Contreras/CNN“Si los funcionarios de inmigración siguen actuando como lo hacen y son muy duros con la gente, no solo afectará a las granjas, sino también a la construcción y al paisajismo”, dijo. Nava afirmó que otra parte clave de su trabajo este año es mitigar cualquier temor innecesario y contrarrestar la desinformación publicada en redes sociales y difundida entre los trabajadores agrícolas en grupos de WhatsApp. Su granja incluso ha tomado medidas para tranquilizar a sus trabajadores, colocando letreros que exigen a todos los visitantes, incluidos los agentes gubernamentales, detenerse y obtener permiso antes de ingresar a la propiedad. “Creo que a nuestros empleados les gusta saber que los apoyamos y que sabemos que son parte de nuestra comunidad y que queremos cuidarlos”, dijo Katie Bolton, agricultora de Oregon. “Vienen aquí y trabajan duro todos los días para nosotros. Sin ellos no tendríamos cultivos, así que respetamos su trabajo diario”. Aunque se mantiene alejada de la vista en el centro de California, Lisa dijo que ella y otros trabajadores siguen de cerca qué agricultores están apoyando públicamente a sus trabajadores. “Es muy importante”, enfatizó. “Ojalá hubiera más gente como ellos apoyando a gente como nosotros”. Es por eso que el productor de cerezas Ian Chandler sigue insistiendo en el tema, a pesar de que normalmente intenta evitar la política y centrarse en sus cultivos. “Trabajamos con gente normal, buena gente trabajadora y con una buena ética laboral”, dijo. “Eso es exactamente lo que Estados Unidos necesita y desea. Y ojalá haya una manera de avanzar hacia una reforma migratoria integral. Como industria, la necesitamos. Como país, la necesitamos. Esta es una fuerza laboral vital para continuar la prosperidad económica de Estados Unidos”. “Y no se trata solo de nuestra industria”, añadió. “Son todas las industrias interconectadas que dependen de la base agrícola de nuestra comunidad para que todo funcione. Si la base agrícola tiene dificultades, todo lo demás también las tendrá”. Los recolectores comienzan a trabajar temprano en la mañana, cuando los días son más frescos. - Evelio Contreras/CNNMientras corta verduras para ceviche en la cocina de su madre, Lisa comentó que su familia intenta quedarse en casa para evitar que los detecten y, admitió que a menudo se aburren. Su hijo menor lanza un frisbee con la frase “La vida es buena” mientras el mediano aplasta plastilina. Ambos se beneficiarían de la actividad al aire libre —uno para fortalecer los pulmones asmáticos y el otro para contrarrestar una deficiencia de vitamina D, dijo Lisa—, pero por ahora están dentro, con las persianas bajadas para protegerse del calor del verano y de las miradas indiscretas. Para ella y su familia de tres generaciones, de estatus migratorio mixto, la recolección de cerezas significaba más que dinero. “Es casi una tradición: cada verano vamos allá, recogemos cerezas y, después del trabajo, conocemos más lugares de Oregon”, dijo. Aun así, incluso este año, una pequeña parte de Oregon ha llegado al centro de California. Al otro lado de la cocina, un familiar trajo una caja de cartón. Está llena de cerezas, recogidas en una granja de Oregon. A diferencia de las que ahora se pudren en la granja de Ian Chandler, estas se cosecharon a mano y están en su mejor momento: regordetas, jugosas y listas para comer.

U.S. District Judge Gretchen Lund sentenced a Monticello man Tuesday to 25 years in prison for uploading nude images in October 2024 of a female child he was babysitting anonymously to an encrypted online chat group. Timothy Pressey, 40, pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court in Hammond in April to production of child pornography. After prison, he will also serve 20 years on supervised release. A later hearing will finalize how much money he would owe the victim. In court filings, Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Heater said Pressey narrated his sexual abuse of the victim. His actions guaranteed “her abuse would be memorialized in the darkest corners of the internet for years to come.” Defense lawyer Peter L. Boyles wrote his client took responsibility and cooperated with police. Documents show the group was an exchange place for hundreds of users, including “hurtcore” child porn that showed “pain, torture and humiliation.” Pressey appeared to detail how he abused the child. “So welcome the world of a 6 yo,” Pressey said in one post. When the FBI got a search warrant and raided his home on Nov. 2, they found 7,500 pictures and video files on his seized iPhone. Most were latent thumbnails “likely due to Defendant’s presence in one or more group chats where (child porn) was freely exchanged,” according to court filings. “Timothy Pressey committed a heinous crime against a child entrusted to his care and supervision and then shared the product of that crime on the internet,” Acting U.S. Attorney M. Scott Proctor said in a release. “Thanks to the outstanding work of the FBI, our state and local partners, and this Office’s dedicated team of prosecutors and staff, Pressey was swiftly brought to justice. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to do everything within our power to prosecute those who victimize children.” [email protected] View the full article

CEDAR RAPIDS — The Iowa National Guard is ready to "step up and help" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with logistics and processing at detention facilities, but no agreement has been finalized, Gov. Kim Reynolds said. Reynolds, a Republican, told reporters in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, Aug. 6, that she and other governors were on a call with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who asked for help from states as the federal government works to detain and deport immigrants who came to the country illegally. "We have said that we would step up and help," Reynolds said. "Nothing has been finalized yet but we're, as other states are doing, looking into helping in some ways that we can." Nationally, about 1,700 troops are being used to help ICE with clerical tasks at detention facilities, Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a July 25 news release. That includes "case management, transportation and logistical support, and clerical support" for processing people detained by ICE in and out of facilities. Reynolds said she couldn't say how many Iowa soldiers could end up being involved in the mission or what their specific tasks would be. "What we really looked at was logistics and processing is probably the way that we would look to help from a state perspective," she said. "But that’s subject to change, and I don't know the numbers at this point. I think they're still seeing how many states are doing it and what that'll look like." The Iowa National Guard has yet to receive authorization for the mission, Iowa National Guard spokesperson Jackie Schmillen said in an email to the Des Moines Register. Reynolds said she expects the federal government would cover the costs for any use of Iowa National Guard soldiers to assist ICE. She said she believes the federal government is focused on detaining and deporting the "bad actors." "There’s just a lot of things that have to be worked out before we have any specifics on start time and what that looks like moving forward," she said. Mason Mauro, a spokesperson for Reynolds, echoed her comments about Iowa's willingness to help ICE. "The Iowa National Guard stands ready to support our DHS partners in executing the President's executive orders," he said in a statement. Immigrant rights group criticizes Iowa officials for supporting ICE deportation effortsOne immigration rights group, Escucha Mi Voz Iowa, has criticized Reynolds' support for the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts and now the Iowa National Guard's potential participation in immigration enforcement. "Using Iowa troopers against Iowa communities will not stand," organizer Alejandra Escobar said during a rally Tuesday, Aug. 5 in Cedar Rapids, when the Iowa City-based group accompanied five immigrant families to an ICE office. The "protective action" was organized by Escucha Mi Voz Iowa, six weeks after 20-year-old Pascual Pedro, a Guatemalan immigrant who lived in West Liberty for seven years, was detained during a routine check-in with immigration officials. Pedro, who was in the country illegally but granted an "order of supervision" that allowed him to remain under strict conditions, was deported a few days later over the July 4 weekend. Families accompanied by local organizers and about 100 others were not detained by ICE. Three separate individuals not part of the group's action were detained, Escucha Mi Voz later said in a news release following the event. More: Community leaders, residents rally in Cedar Rapids as immigrants check in with ICE The organization has called on legislators to help Pedro and Muscatine man Noel Lopez, who also was detained by ICE in June following an arrest that stemmed from a traffic stop. Lopez remains in the Muscatine County Jail. Pedro's story recently caught Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' attention. The longtime independent senator now on a "Fighting Oligarchy" tour took to social media to show support for Pedro. "Yes, we should deport people convicted of serious crimes," Sanders posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "But NO, we can't destroy families who have lived in this country peacefully. "Pascual Pedro, a former high school soccer star with no criminal record, was suddenly deported at a routine immigration check-in. Unacceptable."

Pocas cosas deleitan tanto en un día de verano como un cono de helado. Pocas cosas, sin embargo, causan tanta desesperación como la desintegración total de dicho helado, deslizándose por los dedos, chorreando del cono y desplomándose al suelo. Hace algunos años se viralizaron los informes sobre unas paletas de helado, y posteiormente sobre el helado cremoso, del fabricante japonés Kanazawa Ice que resistían numerosos ataques de calor sin derretirse. Los científicos que crearon este helado lo habían llenado de polifenoles, una clase de moléculas antioxidantes presentes en muchas frutas. El resultado fue una curiosa estabilidad, una notable ausencia de líquido cremoso deslizándose por los dedos. ¿Cómo funcionaba? Los estabilizadores elaborados a partir de diversos productos pueden ayudar a que el helado conserve mejor su forma, pero aun así debe mantenerse frío. [Getty Images]El helado se compone principalmente de crema y azúcar. Las máquinas que lo producen baten la dulce pasta en un tambor refrigerado, y cuando forma una película congelada en el interior del tambor, una espátula la desprende. PUBLICIDADEsto evita que los cristales de hielo crezcan hasta alcanzar un tamaño desagradable, el fenómeno que provoca la textura ligeramente irregular de algunos helados cuando los traes a casa del supermercado. Cuando el helado durante el largo trayecto entre la fábrica y el congelador se calienta ligeramente, se derrite y luego se vuelve a congelar, se forman cristales grumosos y desagradables. Este es un problema conocido al transportar el helado desde su primer congelador a un mundo con temperaturas superiores a cero. Los fabricantes de helados ya utilizan diversos estabilizantes, como la carragenina (proveniente de ciertas algas) y la goma guar (de las semillas de guar), para evitar que el helado se deteriore demasiado durante el viaje. Cuando Cameron Wicks, una científica de alimentos que estudiaba en la Universidad de Wisconsin y que ahora trabaja en la productora de alimentos General Mills, vio el video del helado que no se derrite de Kanazawa Ice, se preguntó cómo los polifenoles tenían ese efecto estabilizador. PUBLICIDADEstas moléculas son conocidas por sus propiedades beneficiosas para la salud, no necesariamente por sus cualidades de ingeniería. En el laboratorio, comenzó a experimentar con mezclas de crema utilizando niveles cada vez más altos de un polifenol en particular: el ácido tánico. En experimentos en los que mezcló crema con 0,75%, 1,5% y 3% de ácido tánico, notó que casi de inmediato, las concentraciones más altas comenzaron a espesarse. Después de enfriar las mezclas durante 24 horas, tomó medidas y observó que el ácido tánico las había gelificado con tanta fuerza que la mezcla al 3% podía cortarse con un cuchillo o voltearse sin que se cayera del vaso. Aunque queramos que el helado se derrita más lentamente, no queremos que se convierta en una masa gomosa. [Getty Images]Al examinar la crema en el microscopio, Wicks observó que las concentraciones más altas presentaban glóbulos de grasa más diferenciados. Ella y sus colegas conjeturaron que el ácido tánico interactuaba con las proteínas de la crema, creando una red de soporte o barrera que impedía la fusión de los glóbulos de grasa. PUBLICIDADEso explicaría por qué el helado elaborado con dicha sustancia es resistente a derretirse: las grasas liberadas de los cristales de crema derretidos no pueden ecurrirse gracias a la adición del polifenol. Con el paso de las horas, Wicks descubrió en experimentos posteriores que el helado elaborado de esta manera adquiere una textura similar a la del pudín, aunque conserva más o menos su forma anterior. Y, por supuesto, los polifenoles no mantienen el helado frío. Un helado que no se derrite, sino que se calienta hasta convertirse en una masa gomosa, no es lo que la mayoría esperamos de un postre congelado. En cuanto a la comida, las expectativas son más importantes de lo que creemos. Si esperas helado de vainilla y, al morderlo, descubres que es puré de papas, es un cambio radical. Quizás los polifenoles se unan a los estabilizadores más consolidados, ayudando a que el helado se mantenga más o menos en su estado normal durante los largos viajes. PUBLICIDADPero ¿llegarán los postres con altas dosis de polifenoles, diseñados para resistir el calor o para mantener su forma durante horas, a una heladería cercana? Solo el tiempo lo dirá.
