Nancy Pelosi supports Kamala Harris as a candidate for the U.S. Presidency.

Former U.S. House President Nancy Pelosi on Monday showed her support for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in her White House career, a day after President Joe Biden decided to end her candidacy for re-election.

“Today, with immense pride and unlimited optimism in the future of our country, I support the vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Presidency of the United States. My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for the Presidency is official, personal and political,” he said in a letter.

Pelosi, a figure of great weight within the Democratic Party, said that she has known Harris for decades and that she has seen her “strength and courage” as a defender of working families and her struggle for the right of women to choose over her body.

“Politically, let’s make no mistake: Kamala Harris, as a woman in politics, is brilliantly astute and I am fully confident that she will lead us to victory in November,” said the historic 84-year-old American politician.

Pelosi, who left the presidency last year after the midterm elections and today is a representative legislator for California, called on the Democratic Party to be united and “move forward to defeat Donald Trump.”

Less than 24 hours after Biden left the race for re-election and asked for the nomination for his vice president, Harris, Democratic politics has more than half a thousand support from delegates, of the 1,986 he needs to get the party’s representation in the elections.

According to a count prepared by The Hill newspaper, Harris has achieved the yes of at least 531 delegates, who have confirmed that they will vote for it at the Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Chicago from August 19 to 22.

Since then, numerous political figures of the party have shown their support for him. According to a count of the Washington Post newspaper, among the 263 Democratic senators and legislators and 23 governors, a total of 205 have supported Harris, compared to 81 who have not done so at the moment.

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.
