Texas Congressman Al Green was escorted out of the State of the Union Address yesterday after holding up a sign reading “Black People Aren’t Apes.” Several Republican lawmakers, including Republicans Pat Fallon and John McGuire, attempted to block the sign or pull it away from Green. Green refused to sit down or lower the sign. Green told reporters “we must take a stand against this level of discrimination” following his removal from the Capitol Building during President Donald Trump’s speech. The sign was likely a reference to a Feb. 6 Truth Social post by Trump, which depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. #WHOV-TV #StateoftheUnion #Protest #AlGreen

Waves of turmoil have unfolded in Mexico following the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Cervantes was notorious for smuggling fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine throughout the Americas and had been evading capture for some time. His reign of defiance came to an end when the Mexican military fatally shot him during a confrontation in his home state of Jalisco. In the aftermath, violent outbreaks erupted across much of the country. Alleged members of organized crime set fire to various locations, attacking buses and businesses. In response, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued a warning to American citizens in Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Nuevo Leon, advising them to stay indoors for their safety.
