Mexican mayor applauds Trump's 'cleaning house' deportation plan
Just opposite of America's southern border wall, drenched in sunlit desert heat, surrounded by vibrantly hued street art and countless local vendors, lies the border city of Nogales in Sonora, Mexico, where its Mayor Juan Francisco Gim Nogales praises President Donald Trump's deportation strategy."What the United States is doing with its immigration policy is cleaning house. And then, maybe, eventually, they'll say, 'Now let's recruit, but in accordance with my new rules,' Gim Nogales told Fox News Digital. "I think that's what [President Trump] is doing, and I think it would be what's correct," he ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RELEASED INTO THE US FROM THE BORDER LAST MONTH "[Trump had to] break with the vicious cycle of deporting them, and then they come back and then deporting them, they come back [again] - that's over," he said. "I see that as very good. And that in the future benefits a country's economies. So, that's why there are no mass deportations, because [Trump] made the decision to do it differently. And I think it's right." When asked how the 47th president's approach to immigration differs from past leaders, the Nogales mayor pointed to Trump's strategic decision of flying migrants out further instead of congesting the return of deportees to border cities. Gim Nogales also touched on repeat offenders who attempt to cross the border more than once. "If you deport them here, well, out of every ten, seven try to cross again. And out of every seven, four manage to try more than three times. That process ended with the strategy that [President Trump] implemented, of flying migrants out farther," he said. The city official also mentioned preparations the local government in Nogales had made to receive 2,000 to 3,000 migrants daily from mass deportations. "From February 4 to date, we receive 60 migrants on average. So, nothing to do with the number we expected and with all the infrastructure we prepared," he said. The municipal president also went on to sing praises for the city's close collaboration with American authorities, like Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), as they work together to improve circumstances for deportees. "We hold a monthly binational meeting where all local authorities participate with local authorities in the United States to be well-coordinated and not to cause problems for returnees [and] immigrants," Gim Nogales said. "That coordination allows us a good shelter for these people and a good transition from the United States to Mexico and then from Nogales to the interior through the state, to provide the federal government with support to return to their cities," the Mexican mayor stated. Since 2024, Mexico and the United States have been working together with the "Se Busca Información" initiative working to target criminals in Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora in an effort to create a safer border, according to the CBP. The bi-national agreement, Local Repatriation Arrangement (LRA) for Nogales established in 2016, still remains active, standardizing the safe return of Mexican nationals to their homeland. "We have to work hand in hand together, because we are a neighboring country. So these challenges must be converted into areas of opportunity… The challenges are good because they bring us good opportunities," he added.

Videos/Pics: Iran's ‘terrorist tyrants' strike Israeli hospital, Israel vows revenge
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a major warning to Iran on Thursday after Iran's 'terrorist tyrants' launched missiles and struck a hospital in Israel amid the increased conflict between the two countries following Israel's preemptive strikes against Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs last week. In a translated post on X, formerly Twitter, Netanyahu wrote, 'This morning, Iran's terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country. We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.' Trey Yingst, chief foreign correspondent for Fox News, reported that Israel's Soroka Hospital, which he confirmed was the largest hospital in the southern region of Israel, sustained 'significant damage' after taking a 'direct hit from an Iranian ballistic missile.' A video shared by the Israeli government shows people running in the aftermath of the Iranian missile strike against the Soroka Hospital. The Israeli government noted that the ballistic missile hit a 'major medical center,' adding, 'We will not stand by. We will continue doing what must be done to defend our people.' The Iranian regime targeted Soroka Hospital in Beersheba with a ballistic missile—hitting a major medical center. We will not stand by. We will continue doing what must be done to defend our people. — Israel ישראל (@Israel) June 19, 2025 In a post on social media, Israeli President Isaac Herzog shared pictures of the remains of the Soroka Hospital. The Israeli president explained that he visited the hospital on Thursday morning and was met by doctors, nurses, and patients.

The Israeli Ministry of Health also confirmed that at least 71 people were hospitalized due to the missile strike against the Soroka Hospital. Speaking from the site of the hospital attack on Thursday, Netanyahu said, 'We accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they hit a hospital, where people can't even get up and run away. They are harming not far from here – there is a children's and infants' ward here. That's the whole difference in a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from these murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us. Every single one of us. Down to the last one of us. I think that says it all.' אני כאן בבית החולים סורוקה בבאר שבע יחד עם שר הבריאות וסגן השר אלמוג כהן, איש הדרום, ולא בפעם הראשונה עם מנהל בית החולים סורוקה. אנחנו רואים כאן את כל ההבדל. אנחנו פוגעים במדויק במטרות גרעין ומטרות טילים, והם פוגעים בבית חולים, שאנשים לא יכולים לקום ולברוח אפילו. הם פוגעים לא… — Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) June 19, 2025
