The fatality victim is identified in the attack on Trump
The person who died in the attack on the former president of the United States. Donald Trump, between 2017 and 2021, at a rally he offered on Saturday afternoon in Pennsylvania, was identified as Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and father of a family.
At a press conference, the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, confirmed the identity of the victim after receiving the authorization of Comperatore’s wife, who was an avid supporter of the former Republican president and died as “a hero.”
The Democratic governor pointed out that, according to the wife, Corey Comperatore died when he set out to protect his family from the gunfire during the attack.
“Corey was an avid supporter of the former president and was very excited to be with him in the community last night,” the governor added.
Shapiro asked all political leaders to “lower the temperature and overcome the rhetoric of hatred that exists, and seek a better and brighter future for this nation.”
“The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump last night was absolutely unacceptable and tragic,” said the governor, who wished a speedy recovery to the former president, with whom, he said, he has not yet had a chance to talk.
The governor added that he has spoken to Comperatore’s relatives, as well as those of one of the two people who were injured, whose condition he did not report.
The victim was 50 years old, according to The New York Times, which quotes her sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer.
During a rally he offered on Saturday afternoon in Pennsylvania, Trump was injured in the right ear as a result of the shots fired by the alleged perpetrator of the attack, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
As it was learned this Sunday, the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle he used to try to assassinate the former president was legally acquired by his father.
Other sources of local security forces indicated that they have found two devices with explosive material in the vehicle of the suspect in the assassination attempt, as well as at his home in Bethel Park (Pennylvania).
Crooks ended up shot dead by the Secret Service after shooting several times from an elevated position on a roof of a one-storey building near the stage where Trump participated in a rally about an hour away from his home.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
