«If you have ever passed by there or have had the opportunity to go there, you will see that it is a lake or you may have noticed that the water is stinking and this denotes that it is contaminated water, water that is a breeding ground for bacteria and that in due course can be harmful,» he said.

He explained that E. Coli is a bacterium that, under normal conditions, can cause harm to both humans and animals and in particular to the ducks present, which could be at risk.

He said that although a veterinarian is required to assess the risk in animals, humans are affected by contact with water. 

He pointed out that, especially during the hot season, families often walk near the lake, and the evaporation of the water, mixed with the presence of E. Coli, can generate infectious situations that affect people living near the lake.

Indicated that contact with contaminated water, either directly or through evaporation, poses health risks to people, so he warned about the possibility of gastrointestinal or skin infections.

Alonso Ríos Delgado emphasized that bacteria, such as E. Coli, can be more aggressive in stagnant water, as in the case of the lake in Parque Central. 

The president of the Medical Association said that among the diseases that could be spread are urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal and possible skin infections.

E. Coli, according to the president of the College of Physicians, is more linked to urinary tract and digestive tract infections, although he did not rule out the possibility that other bacteria may also be present in this stagnant water.

Ríos Delgado emphasized that bacteria can be more aggressive in water than in other environments, increasing the risk of infections, so he made a recommendation not only to the general population, but also to the government, urging them to pay attention and take measures to treat the stagnant waters of the parque central.

Secuestros de migrantes se quintuplican en Ciudad Juárez; 169 en casi 3 años

En el transcurso de 2 años 9 meses, el número de personas migrantes víctimas de secuestro en Ciudad Juárez superó hasta cinco veces los delitos registrados por esta misma razón durante los cinco años anteriores.

De acuerdo con datos de la Fiscalía General del Estado proporcionados a Circuito Frontera a través de Transparencia, de enero del 2016 a diciembre de 2021, se registraron 40 casos de personas migrantes víctimas de secuestro.

Mientras que de enero del 2021 al 9 de octubre de este 2023, las personas en movilidad que fueron secuestradas en esta frontera se incrementó hasta 169.

Durante el 2021 se registraron 12 secuestros; en el 2022 la cifra se incrementó a 40, mientras que en este 2023, hasta la primera decena de octubre 117 personas migrantes fueron víctimas de secuestro.

Las cifras, proporcionadas por las autoridades estatales indican un aumento significativo en la incidencia de secuestros, generando una creciente preocupación en la comunidad y entre las autoridades encargadas de la seguridad.

La respuesta presentada por Transparencia indicó que del total de secuestros, 98 fueron hombres y 51 mujeres, así como 146 de los casos se trataron de secuestros extorsivos, 18 de secuestros con calidad de rehén y 5 con la intención de causar daño.

También que las nacionalidades de las víctimas fueron: Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, El Salvador, Brasil, China, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua y Venezuela.

Respecto a este tema, el martes pasado, el fiscal general del Estado, Carlos Manuel Salas, indicó que se trata de un delito complicado para dar seguimiento, incluyendo el tráfico de personas, ya que la mayoría de las víctimas no presenta la denuncia y si lo hacen no le dan seguimiento.

En una conferencia de prensa, el funcionario declaró que en los últimos días detuvieron a los integrantes de una red delictiva que opera en la ciudad donde se ven involucrados los delitos no solo de la privación ilegal de libertad, sino también la elaboración de sustancias ilícitas y tráfico de personas.

Señaló que los perpetradores llevaban a las víctimas a una ubicación específica, donde las sometían a torturas con el objetivo de obtener información. Este modus operandi se había vuelto una rutina peligrosa, con algunos individuos retenidos durante varios días.

U.S. increases deportations of migrants to Venezuela and Central America

This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) working in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), facilitated removal flights, including single adults and family units to Central America and Venezuela from December 26 – 27.

If a noncitizen arrives and has no legal basis to remain in the United States they will be processed and removed quickly, consistent with U.S. law.

Since May 12, DHS has removed or returned over 460,000 individuals, the vast majority of whom crossed the Southwest Border, including more than 75,000 individual family members. In seven months, this nearly exceeds number removed and returned in all of FY19 and exceeds the number of removals and returns in each full fiscal year from 2015-2018.

Daily removals and enforcement returns are nearly double what they were compared to the pre-pandemic average (2014-2019).

In keeping with standard practice, the United States ensures that all noncitizens without a legal basis to remain in the United States are properly screened for valid protection claims and withholding of removal in accordance with our laws and U.S. international obligations.

This applies to all noncitizens, regardless of nationality, to ensure the orderly and humane processing, transfer, and removal of single adults and family units. During each of the past two weeks, we have conducted over thirty repatriation flights transporting thousands of individuals back to their country of origin and have repatriated over five thousand individuals directly to Mexico.

Noncitizens placed into removal proceedings present their claims for relief or protection from removal before immigration judges in the immigration courts, which are administered by the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. Due to operational security reasons, ICE does not confirm or discuss future or pending transportation operations.

ICE Air Operations facilitates the transfer and removal of noncitizens, including family units, via commercial airlines and chartered flights in support of ICE field offices and other DHS initiatives. In fiscal year 2022, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations conducted 72,177 removals to more than 150 countries worldwide.

B-roll for removal flights is available on DVIDS. DHS has made additional videos available to the public and the media including b-roll footage of removal flights, a public service announcement, and testimonials from migrants who have been removed.
