U.S.-Led Task Force Helped Guide Mexican Raid that Killed El Mencho

A new U.S.-military-led Joint Interagency Task Force-Counter Cartel helped map cartel networks and reportedly provided a detailed target package for Nemesio Oseguera, the CJNG boss known as El Mencho, aiding a Mexican military operation that killed him in Jalisco. Mexican officials say the raid was designed and executed by Mexico with no U.S. ground personnel, while U.S. officials describe the task force as supplying complementary intelligence.

Bernie Sanders Urges Biden to Address Gaza Crisis and Reconsider Aid to Israel

Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a resolution in the US Senate demanding answers on Israel's "indiscriminate" bombing campaign in Gaza and calling for a debate on the US government's complicity in the conflict. The resolution, if passed, would require the US state department to report any violations of human rights caused by military operations in Gaza, as well as actions taken to limit civilian risk and details of arms provided to Israel. Sanders has faced pressure from progressive Democrats to support a ceasefire and has called for a "humanitarian pause" to allow aid into Gaza.
