A Texas truck driver, Homero Zamorano Jr., pleaded guilty to charges related to the deaths of 53 migrants in a 2022 smuggling attempt. The migrants were trapped in a sweltering, airless trailer, resulting in the deadliest incident of its kind at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Zamorano faces a potential life sentence and is scheduled for sentencing on April 24. Authorities have linked him and others to a broader smuggling operation, with the migrants paying up to $15,000 each for the perilous journey.

Le Monde: Russia sentences Navalny lawyers to years behind bars
Three lawyers who defended Alexei Navalny have been sentenced to prison for several years for allegedly facilitating communication between Navalny and the outside world while he was incarcerated. The Kremlin's crackdown on dissent continues, raising concerns among human rights groups about the implications for legal representation in politically sensitive cases.
The sentences follow a closed trial, with the lawyers accused of participating in an "extremist organization." Rights organizations warn that this sets a dangerous precedent for the legal profession in Russia, potentially deterring lawyers from defending political prisoners.
The Western Journal: Crucial Meeting with Biden Caused Chuck Schumer to Break Down in Tears: Report
Senator Chuck Schumer reportedly broke down in tears after a meeting with President Joe Biden, where he urged Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Schumer informed Biden of his poor re-election prospects, citing a mere 5% chance of winning against Donald Trump, which Biden was allegedly unaware of.
The meeting ended with Biden requesting a week to consider Schumer's advice, leading to Biden's eventual withdrawal from the race on July 21. This incident highlights the internal pressures within the Democratic Party regarding Biden's candidacy.
Fox News: Top NJ watchdog official abruptly resigns, is removed from state voter rolls following residency flap
Tiffany Williams Brewer resigned from her position as CEO of the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation after questions arose regarding her residency. Reports indicated she claimed a Maryland property as her primary residence while voting in New Jersey, prompting an investigation by local election officials.
Brewer defended her residency status as compliant with regulations but cited a toxic work environment as a reason for her departure. The commission is now searching for a new executive director to continue its mission of investigating government waste and fraud.
The Federalist: Biden Attempts To Change The Constitution Via Press Release
President Biden's recent declaration of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as "the law of the land" is legally meaningless, as the amendment failed to achieve ratification by the required number of states decades ago. The ERA, which aims to eliminate legal distinctions based on sex, could undermine protections for women and lead to unintended consequences regarding gender identity.
Despite attempts by some states to revive the ERA, it remains expired and unenforceable. Biden's move is seen as a frivolous gesture that undermines the rule of law and risks further erosion of constitutional integrity.

Regular testing is aimed at ensuring the UK remains prepared for crises, following recommendations from the Covid inquiry. Similar systems are used in other countries to alert the public to life-threatening emergencies.
Fox News: Jury finds that CNN committed defamation against Navy veteran, awards punitive damages
A jury found CNN liable for defamation against U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young, who claimed the network falsely implied he profited illegally while helping Afghans flee during the 2021 military withdrawal. The jury's decision followed a lengthy trial and deliberation.
Young argued that CNN's reporting damaged his reputation and business, branding him an illegal profiteer.

The trial highlighted the significant personal impact of the segment on Young's life.

The Telegraph: Let’s recruit a Ukrainian Brigade of Gurkhas
The UK’s new 100-year defense pact with Ukraine raises questions about long-term benefits for Britain. One proposal is to create a Ukrainian equivalent of the Brigade of Gurkhas, establishing a volunteer unit of Ukrainian nationals in the British Armed Forces, which could enhance military cooperation and address UK recruitment issues.
This arrangement could help recoup investments in Ukrainian military training while providing a trained troop pool for future conflicts. Given the UK's current military recruitment crisis, such a partnership could bolster defense capabilities and signify a lasting commitment to Ukraine.
