JUST NOW: Carlos Enrique, 25, stood outside immigration office and called the tragedy “a catastrophe. We want to do things right. But they make it impossible.”

This was the cover of @reforma, one of the main dailies in Mexico, today. It included a huge, uncensored picture of the bodies of the migrants who died in a fire at an immigration detention center in Juarez. I think it speaks to how migrants are dehumanized in this hemisphere.

This has been a hard week at @npr not least because it is losing legendary international reporters. @spoggioli1 and @deborahamos who paved the way for those of us who followed in their intrepid and knowledgeable footsteps. 🫡 I will miss your voices on air.

The longest-serving correspondent on @npr's international desk hangs up her headphones. Sylvia Poggioli represents everything great in broadcast journalism. What a career, what an inspiration. @npr will not be the same without her
Hard to know where to start to say how much Sylvia Poggioli will be missed @npr. Thank you for 41 years bringing us the news from Italy & the world beyond! npr.org/sections/npr-extra/2…

#Nicaragua es lo que soy y todo lo que tengo, y que nunca voy a dejar de ser, ni dejar de tener, mi memoria y mis recuerdos, mi lengua y mi escritura, mi lucha por su libertad por la que he empeñado mi palabra. Mientras más Nicaragua me quitan, más Nicaragua tengo.

This is the future agility of the reenergized Inter-American Development Bank! Thank you John Lawless for virtually lending me your real dancing moves.
P.S. Connectivity for all in #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean! @el_BID
A viral internet video allegedly shows Ilan Goldfajn, former Brazilian minister and president-elect of the Inter-American Development Bank (BID), dancing in a Jackson 5 show.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The person in this video is not Ilan Goldfajn. It is a similar-looking American man from Long Island, NY.

This is from about the point, 20 minutes into his 30 minute speech during their Oval Office meeting, when AMLO told Biden he was wrapping up.
