AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoSecurity and Rights: Costa Rica opened a 5,100-place maximum-security prison modeled on El Salvador’s Bukele approach, as homicides remain near record levels. Bukele, meanwhile, says he may release up to half of those jailed under emergency powers after more than 90,000 arrests—a crackdown rights groups say has involved widespread arbitrary detention. U.S. Military Role: Washington is deploying about 600 troops to Panama, Colombia and Honduras for jungle training and counter-cartel exercises, a sizable expansion of its regional presence. Venezuela: The U.S. lifted sanctions on National Assembly chief Jorge Rodríguez amid energy agreements and broader talks with Caracas. Mexico: A judge closed the case against former immigration chief Francisco Garduño over the 2023 Juárez detention-center fire that killed 40. Victims’ advocates plan to appeal, calling the ruling selective justice. Disasters: Hurricane remnants caused deadly flooding in Mexico, with the toll reaching six; a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Panama also damaged buildings and triggered tsunami alerts across the region.
