Searchers recover 2nd body near Canada's Banff National Park hiking trail
CALGARY, Alberta -- Search teams located a second body Friday following a massive rockfall off a hiking trail in Canada's Banff National Park. The University of Alberta confirmed one of the two people killed in the rockfall in Banff National Park was retired educator Jutta Hinrichs, who was a leader in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Parks Canada officials say she was 70 and lived in Calgary. The slide happened Thursday afternoon north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) northwest of Calgary. It is also about 137 kilometers (85 miles) from the site of the Group of Seven summit held in Kananaskis, Alberta, this week. Three others were taken to the hospital and were reported in stable condition. Officials said no one else has been reported missing and there are no unidentified vehicles at the trailhead. The route rus along the edges of Bow Lake and is considered a moderate challenge for hikers and is used by tourists and day-trippers, including families. It's a region with limited cellular service. Niclas Brundell, a trail guide who lives in nearby Canmore, said he was hiking in the area with his wife Thursday when they both started seeing concerning signs of rocks tumbling and boulders the size of tires starting to fall. 'This was unimaginable to me, that such a big piece of mountain would fall off,' he said. As rocks started rolling at the top of the waterfall, he said, they didn't hit anyone, but he and his wife wondered why nobody seemed to be reacting. 'Then all of a sudden, I hear the start of another rockfall, and I turn around, and the whole mountainside is coming off.' He said the slab seemed about 50 meters (164 feet) wide and 20 meters (60 feet) deep, and he and his wife started sprinting. When he turned around, he could see a group of between 15 and 30 people at the waterfall disappear under a cloud of dust. 'The only place I've ever seen something similar is like watching videos from 9-11, when you see New York being cast over,' he said. He said there was a roar, 'and I just didn't see them anymore.' Brundell said when they got far enough to feel safe, he sent a satellite message to Parks Canada, while his wife ran to a nearby lodge to call for help. He said it's a popular trail because it's considered relatively easy, and on any given summer day there are 15 people or more hiking the trail.

Bad Bunny Slams ICE Over Raids in Puerto Rico: 'Those Motherf***ers'
Bad Bunny is slamming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers for making arrests in Puerto Rico. The Grammy-winning rapper and singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, took to his Instagram Story to share a since-deleted video (due to Stories disappearing after 24 hours) of the ICE operation in Avenida Pontezuela, Carolina. More from The Hollywood Reporter Justin Bieber Addresses His Trauma: "My Anger Is a Response to Pain" BTS Is Back: K-pop Supergroup's Anniversary Ushers in Long-Awaited Reunion Lou Christie, "Lightnin' Strikes" and "Rhapsody in the Rain" Singer, Dies at 82 'Those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s,' Bad Bunny can be heard saying in Spanish over the footage. 'They're here in Pontezuela. Sons of bitches, instead of letting the people alone and working.' Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House earlier this year, his administration has prioritized cracking down on alleged immigration violations. The New York Times reported that more than 500 people have been detained by federal authorities in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, with nearly three-quarters of those arrested from the Dominican Republic. Ongoing protests have erupted across the nation, including New York and Los Angeles, against the unlawful immigration ICE raids. In response to the L.A. protests, Trump deployed California's National Guard to quell the demonstrations. However, California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back, formally requesting that the Trump Administration 'rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles County and return them to my command.' The case is currently making its way through the courts, with the appeals court temporarily blocking a federal judge's order that directed Trump to return control of National Guard troops back to the state. In a Tuesday hearing, the federal appeals court appeared inclined to side with Trump, the Times reported, though a ruling has yet to be made on the matter. Shakira also recently spoke out about the 'constant fear' that immigrants face in the United States today amid Trump's aggressive policies. 'It's painful to see,' the Colombian-born singer told BBC News. 'Now, more than ever, we have to remain united. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.'
