Colombians stranded in Congo after being expelled from the US‌

Dear readers,

‌

This week, we reported on how Latin American migrants expelled by the U.S. were unexpectedly sent to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Stranded in Kinshasa, two Colombians spoke to EL PAÍS about their confusion and fear.

‌

In Mexico, a shooting at the archaeological jewel of Teotihuacán has shaken the country. A lone gunman killed a Canadian tourist in an attack in which 13 other people were injured, including two children. Our reporters spoke with witnesses who described the chaos that unfolded.

‌

In other news, our Infographic team published an interactive deep dive into the names appearing in the Epstein documents — and what they reveal about the disgraced financier’s network of power.

‌

We also spoke to Willem Dafoe about living on an alpaca farm, caught up with the professor running a course on existential despair, and talked to the man who spent three years behind bars for refusing to cover up the abuses of Qatar 2022.‌

‌

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
