The teens claimed CBP targeted them because they hadn’t booked hotels for their entire stay in Hawaii.

“They found it suspicious that we hadn’t fully booked our accommodations for the entire five weeks in Hawaii,” Pohl said. “We wanted to travel spontaneously. Just like we had done in Thailand and New Zealand.”

I once met John Waters at a videostore in California in 2002. My coworker was a huge fangirl and he treated us like we were some celebrity talk show hosts. John if you lurk here and happened to find our weird little corner of the internet I love you man.

On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will send to Congress reforms to the telecommunications law to prohibit the dissemination of propaganda paid for by foreign governments or organizations in Mexican media.

“The issue is that they are paying for ads with a discriminatory message,” she said, referring to a commercial against illegal immigration sponsored by U.S. National Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Sheinbaum considered that Noem’s commercial, which has been airing on television for months and was broadcast during the weekend’s soccer matches, is discriminatory.

“A message from President Donald Trump to the world: If you’re considering entering America illegally, don’t even think about it. Let me be clear: If you come to our country and break our laws, we will prosecute you. Criminals are not welcome in the U.S.,” the National Security Secretary said.

In response, the Mexican president will seek to revive a section of the Federal Telecommunications Law that was repealed in 2014, during the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012–2018).

With this, foreign governments will not be allowed to pay either traditional media or social networks to broadcast “propaganda” in Mexico.

“Broadcast and television licensees and permit holders in the country will not be allowed to transmit political, ideological, or commercial propaganda from foreign governments or entities, nor permit the media operating under their licenses to be used for purposes that could influence internal affairs,” it was stated.

Chinese nationals have been increasingly attempting to smuggle military equipment and dual-use goods out of Russia, often using international postal services, Russian state-controlled media Izvestia reported on April 21, citing undisclosed sources.

The incidents reportedly concern body armor, tactical gear, and other military apparel that are then studied and replicated using cheaper materials before being resold abroad.

The news comes as China becomes increasingly involved in the Russian war against Ukraine. While Beijing officially denies supplying arms to Moscow, it has become a major supplier of dual-use goods since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 17 that Chinese exports to Russia also include weapons, making the accusation only days after saying that hundreds of Chinese nationals fight against Ukraine in the Russian military. China has denied any involvement in the war.

[...]

The Russian news outlet reported that incidents of Chinese citizens attempting to smuggle Russian military-related goods have increased since 2022. In one of the first known cases, a Chinese national was convicted in the fall of that year for attempting to export sensitive sensors and sentenced to three years in a penal colony.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty on all counts in the same federal courthouse in Manhattan where a different jury convicted Bob Menendez of many of the same charges last year. The Democrat is supposed to begin serving an 11-year prison term in June.

Nadine Menendez, who stood but did not appear to react as the verdict was delivered by the jury foreperson, was scheduled to be sentenced on June 12, six days after her husband is expected to report to prison.

The evidence shown to jurors over a three-week trial followed the timeline of the whirlwind romance between the couple that began in early 2018 and continued after criminal charges were brought against them in September 2023. Repeatedly during the trial, prosecutors said they were “partners in crime.”
