Trump bets in Las Vegas on the Latin vote to give the definitive blow to Biden
Former Republican President Donald Trump (2017-2021) bet on Sunday for Latino voters in an electoral rally in Las Vegas dedicated to this community in which he charged the migrants who are arriving by the southern border and of those who he said “are hurting” the economy of Latinos who already live in the United States.
Trump insisted that the situation on the southern border is “unsustainable” and accused President Joe Biden of having created a “crisis” and pointed out that the asylum restrictions announced by the president last Tuesday “mean nothing.”
“If Joe Biden wanted to sign an executive order to stop the invasion, all he should do is say: ‘Here I reinstitute all the border policies of someone named Donald Trump,’” the former president said in front of the attendees who met in Sunset Park at a temperature of about 38 degrees Celsius.
As he did since 2016, Trump used anti-immigrant rhetoric and criticized directly with the people who arrive at the southern border by assuring that they are hurting the “American Latins,” as he refers to the members of this community who have a legal status in the country.
He also falsely stated that migrants who enter irregularly “are taking 100 percent of the new jobs. “They are hurting our families, they are destroying our black population, they are destroying our Hispanic population, and they know that more they are destroying our unions,” the president said.
Trump took advantage of today’s event to rename the campaign focused on the Hispanic and Latin community that went from being called Latinos for Trump to Latin American for Trump, the change was made to emphasize that Latinos are Americans, Jaime Florez, director of Hispanic communications of Trump’s campaign, told Efe.
Nevada has become an elusive state for Republicans since 2008, when former President Barack Obama (2009-2017) won the state comfortably, something that in 2020 cost Biden when he won by about 34,000 votes, or 2.4 percentage points in favor.
Érika Castro, organizer of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada fund, explained to EFE that the votes of the Latino community helped Biden win Nevada, considered a hinge state.
But the situation seems to be changing, for the moment, the polls are being decanted in Nevada in favor of Trump. According to the average of polls on the FiveThirtyEight website, it is five percentage points ahead, with 45% of the voting intentions.
A recent survey by the New York Times/Siena College showed that Trump is gaining support among Latinos with 36% who said he would vote for him compared to 26% who said he would vote for Biden.
The young people of Nevada are also leaning in favor of Trump, an example of this are Puerto Ricans Gustavo and Elena, 24 and 26 years old, respectively, the brothers who resided in Nevada more than a decade ago believe that the former president represents “a good future” for the country, they told EFE.
The same arguments were expressed by Guatemalan Mary Gutiérrez, 50, who came from San Bernardino (California) with her family to attend Trump’s rally.
The immigrant told EFE that Trump’s defeat in 2020 prompted her to become a citizen and that the former president will count on her vote and that of her family. This morning the Gutiérrez family arrived at five in the morning to line up early and be able to secure a seat near the podium and express their support to close the border.
“Someone has to put this situation in order and I think that immigrants who come to not comply with the rules should be deported,” Gutiérrez said.
At the end of the speech, Gutiérrez said she was excited about the Republican’s promises to secure the border, lower taxes and revitalize the economy.
Trump concluded his rally by inviting attendees to vote in the primaries that Nevada holds next Tuesday, June 11, in which he will surely be elected as the Republican candidate, despite the fact that the party’s statutes in this state specify that no convicted person can be elected as a candidate.

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.
