Jurors Selected For Alleged Murder-For-Hire Case In Chicago

A jury was selected Tuesday in the trial of a man accused of offering a $10,000 bounty for the life of a Border Patrol commander behind an immigration crackdown in Chicago last year. Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, faces one count of murder-for-hire. Federal prosecutors allege he’s a “ranking member” of the Latin Kings gang who offered a reward for Gregory Bovino’s killing. The Border Patrol official has been the public face of the Trump administration’s combative immigration operations including in California, North Carolina and Minnesota. Espinoza Martinez is the first person to be criminally tried in connection with the crackdown in and around the nation’s third-largest city. Bovino and the Trump administration have held up the case up as an example of increasing dangers faced by federal agents. But a slew of federal lawsuits have fueled skepticism about the Trump administration’s narrative on the Chicago operation. Of the roughly 30 criminal cases stemming from Operation Midway Blitz, charges have been dismissed or dropped in about half. In a notable lawsuit that forced Bovino to sit for depositions, a federal judge found he lied under oath including about alleged gang threats. Days ahead of Espinoza Martinez’s trial, prosecutors acknowledged they didn’t have evidence proving gang ties, leading U.S. Judge Joan Lefkow to bar questioning on the Latin Kings. Espinoza Martinez, who has pleaded not guilty, wore a dark suit and tie to court and watched the proceedings intently. He’s been in federal custody since October when he was arrested. Born in Mexico, he’s lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years. He does not have legal permission to stay in the United States. His family and attorneys say he is not in a gang. The father of three worked as a carpenter. “The evidence on Mr. Martinez’s intent is so weak,” defense attorney Jonathan Bedi told the judge before jurors were brought in. Opening statements were set for Wednesday after 12 jurors and two alternatives were chosen. Much of the juror questioning was done in private conversations between the judge and attorneys. Prosecutors allege Espinoza Martinez sent a Snapchat message in October to other gang members that read in part “10k if u take him down,” along with a picture of Bovino. He also allegedly offered $2,000 for information about the commander. The criminal complaint cites an anonymous source who accused Espinoza Martinez of being a “ranking member of the Latin Kings.” The trial is expected to last a few days and feature testimony from federal agents along with excerpts of a video-taped interview Espinoza Martinez gave to authorities after arrest. Bovino is not expected to testify. If convicted, Espinoza Martinez faces up to 10 years in prison. “Putting a price on the life of a law enforcement officer is a line that can never be crossed,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros said in an October statement announcing the charges. Scrutiny on agents’ use of force has followed operations in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, and currently in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The arrests by armed and masked agents have led to to numerous protests and intense standoffs in each region. In the Chicago area, more than 4,300 people were arrested for alleged immigration violations in the crackdown that began in September. Bovino has signaled immigration operations in Chicago will ramp up again in the coming months.

U.S. Seizes 7th Oil Tanker Tied To Venezuela

U.S. military forces boarded and took control of a seventh oil tanker connected with Venezuela on Tuesday as the Trump administration continues its efforts to take control of the oil in the South American country. U.S. Southern Command said in a social media post that U.S. forces apprehended the Motor Vessel Sagitta “without incident” and that the tanker was “operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean.” The military command did not say whether the U.S. Coast Guard took control of the tanker as has been the case in prior seizures.

Mexico Sends Cartel Members To U.S. In Latest Offer To Trump Administration

Mexico's security minister said Tuesday that it had sent another 37 members of Mexican drug cartels to the United States, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on governments to crack down on criminal networks it says are smuggling drugs across the border. Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a social media post on X that the people transferred were “high impact criminals” that “represented a real threat to the country’s security.” It is the third time in the past year that Mexico has sent detained cartel members to the U.S. Harfuch said that the government has sent 92 people in total.

Trump Appears As 'Special Guest' At White House Press Briefing

President Donald Trump is appearing at a White House press briefing to mark the first anniversary of the start of his second term. The rare appearance Tuesday comes as the president faces extraordinary pushback from America’s European allies over his planned tariffs over Greenland. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described Trump’s planned new tariffs over Greenland as “a mistake especially between long-standing allies." Trump said February a 10% import tax will be imposed on goods from eight European nations that have rallied around Denmark in the wake of United States efforts to take over the semi-autonomous Danish territory of Greenland.

Speaker Johnson: U.K. & U.S. Can Work Through Differences

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday said he was confident that Britain and the United States maintain their so-called 'special relationship' and work through differences on Greenland that threaten to upend bilateral ties. Johnson's visit to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence from rule by London comes at an awkward time for trans-Atlantic relations, days after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Britain and other European countries with tariffs unless they let the United States buy Greenland. Trump has also sharply criticised Prime Minister Keir Starmer over a deal to cede sovereignty of the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, in an apparent reversal of the administration's previous support of the deal. "We've always been able to work through our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this morning that that is still the case," Johnson said in an address to lawmakers in the British parliament. Johnson said he had met Starmer on Monday, and said the prime minister struck "exactly the right message and the right tone" in a statement that morning, where he urged calm discussion to resolve differences on Greenland to avert a trade war and hailed the partnership between the two countries. Starmer has previously lauded his close relationship with Trump and struck a deal to avert some sectoral tariffs last May, but recent events threaten to undermine his strategy towards Washington. Johnson added that he had spoken to Trump yesterday and told him that he aimed to use the trip to "encourage our friends to help calm the waters, so to speak." "Let us look to agreement, continue our dialogue and find a resolution, just as we always have in the past," Johnson said. "And in that process, I am confident that we can and will maintain and strengthen our special relationship between these two nations."

Mamdani & Sanders Rally With Nurses On Strike In NYC

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders rallied with nurses Tuesday in Manhattan during the ninth day of the largest strike of its kind that the city has seen in decades. The democratic socialists, speaking to a boisterous crowd of nurses in front of Mount Sinai West on the Upper West Side, called on hospital executives to return to the negotiating table to resolve the contract impasse that prompted some 15,000 nurses to walk off the job last week. “The people of this country are sick and tired of the greed in this health care industry," said Sanders, the long-serving Vermont senator and a native of Brooklyn, as he rattled off the multimillion-dollar salaries of the CEOs of the three hospital systems affected by the strike. “Now is your time of need, when we can assure that this is a city you don't just work in, but a city you can also live in," Mamdani added. The nurses union says it has held one bargaining session with each of the three hospital systems impacted — Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian — since the strike began on Jan. 12. But the sides say those hourslong meetings have ended with little progress, and there are no plans so far this week to resume talks. “They offered us nothing. It was all performative,” said Jonathan Hunter, a registered nurse at Mount Sinai and a member of the negotiating team. The New York State Nurses Association met Sunday evening with officials from Montefiore after holding negotiations Friday with Mount Sinai administrators and Thursday with NewYork-Presbyterian officials. Hospital administrators say they’ll follow the lead of contract mediators on when to meet again with their union counterparts. Each affected hospital is negotiating with the union independently. The hospitals say the union is proposing pay raises that amount to a 25% salary increase over three years. They maintain the request is unreasonable, as their nurses are already among the highest paid in the city. “NYSNA’s demands ignore the economic realities of healthcare in New York City and the country,” NewYork-Presbyterian said in a statement Tuesday, citing federal cuts to Medicaid, as well as rising overall costs. Outside Mount Sinai West on Tuesday morning, nurses and their supporters marched in the frigid cold, chanting “one day longer, one day stronger” as a caravan of New York City taxi drivers honked their horns in support. Nicole Rodriguez, a nurse at Mount Sinai West, said her biggest concern in the contract dispute is preserving her health care benefits. She said she has an autoimmune disease that causes her to get sick often and pass along illnesses to her child. “If my son is not well, I’m not well, and I can’t be at the bedside and be the nurse I want to be,” she said. “I hope management opens their eyes to how much support we have out here, and they see that they need to reach into their pockets and give the nurses their health care.” The union says the hospitals are seeking to reduce nurses benefits but the hospitals say they’ve proposed maintaining their current employer-funded benefits, which they say exceed what most private employees receive. The hospitals, meanwhile, say their medical operations are running normally despite the walkout. They have brought on thousands of temporary nurses to fill shifts and say they’ve made financial commitments to extend their employment. “Everyone who has come to work — including many who have gone above and beyond to support the operational response — is helping to save lives," Brendan Carr, CEO of Mount Sinai, said in a statement to staff Monday.
