The world's first border wall, built by a Sumerian king, now lies buried beneath Iraq's desert sands, illustrating the futility of such constructions.

Border walls are located along imaginary geopolitical boundaries. They slice arbitrarily through critical ecosystems that know only natural boundaries, cutting wild animals off from the resources they need to live—food, water, a diverse selection of mates—and the ability to migrate for survival.

The unexpected act of violence comes as Sheinbaum's government has gone to great lengths to project an image of safety ahead of the soccer competition, following a surge of cartel violence in the World Cup host city of Guadalajara.

"The Battalion Search and Rescue always carries the Electronic Frontier Foundation's zine in our desert rig. We're finding new surveillance all the time, and without a resource like that, we wouldn't know what the hell we're looking at."

This tragedy is a solemn reminder of the risks faced by those Mexican and US officials who are dedicated to protecting our communities, the US ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, wrote on X.

In December, El Paso experienced an impressive surge in its active listing count, reaching 2,355 properties. This represented a substantial year-over-year growth of 15.7%, well ahead of the national inventory growth rate of 12.1%. With 562 newly listed homes, marking a 17.6% increase from the previous year, sellers showcased their enthusiasm to join the market. This robust influx of new listings, combined with the rise in active listings, underscored a unique opportunity for sellers to capture buyer interest.

How it happened: The FAA's abrupt order to close El Paso's airspace for 10 days came after the Pentagon "was unable to meet the FAA's standards to guarantee safety of civilian aircraft," according to a source familiar with the decision. An administration official told Axios that the Pentagon had been responding to drone activity linked to Mexican cartels. There have been conflicting accounts from other officials and media reports. Early indications point to a communications breakdown between the FAA and the Pentagon.

A notice to pilots classified the area as "national defense airspace," and warned that deadly force may be used against aircraft violating the restriction, standard language for such designations. What they're saying: "All flights to and from El Paso are grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation," El Paso International Airport posted on Facebook early Wednesday. "Travelers should contact their airlines to get most up-to-date flight status information."

someone at DOJ is attempting to undercut the other things Parente will release today, which reportedly show that Charles Exum lied to the FBI in order to get them to charge Martinez with assault, in part by obscuring that (as would happen with Renee Good months later) the bullets entered the vehicle from the front and the side, showing that he was never in danger, as claimed.

The government's ability to deal with drones that pose a threat on American soil has been questioned this week after the use of a laser designed to shoot down drones near the border in Texas led to the abrupt closure of the airspace over El Paso, sources familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The details of exactly what happened before the Federal Aviation Administration shut down the busy airport in the Mexican border city on Wednesday aren't entirely clear,

One person was shot and in critical condition Tuesday in a shooting involving the Border Patrol near the U.S.- Mexico border, authorities in Arizona said. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said it was working with the FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection in response to the shooting in Arivaca, Arizona, a community about 10 miles from the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the FBI did not immediately respond to emails and telephone calls seeking more information.
