Massive Visa Cancellations. 

The Trump administration has revoked more than 175,000 visas as part of its immigration crackdown, citing crimes, fraud, and failure to comply with immigration conditions. According to the government, these cancellations are part of an ongoing review of foreign nationals and the conditions under which they may remain in the country. What does this number mean? What does this process involve? What are the most common reasons cited? What evidence exists, and who are the targets?

Guest: Jesús García, Reporter and Editor, “El Diario” and “La Opinión”, New York, NY.

Meta Accused of Fueling Addiction. The trial against Meta has begun over allegations that it designed Facebook and Instagram with addictive features aimed at minors. Attorneys general from California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey accuse Mark Zuckerberg’s company of hooking children on its platforms and concealing the risks. The states are demanding a court-ordered redesign of these networks. What is the background on this case? What do the reports say? What other lawsuits have been filed against this Big Tech giant?

Guest: Orson Aguilar, presidente fundador y director ejecutivo, LatinoProsperity, Los Ángeles, CA.

Cuba in the Dark. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatened that “Cuba will not get out of the noose” and that Washington will shut off “every escape valve.” The intensifying U.S. blockade has reportedly caused prolonged blackouts, food and medicine shortages, a serious toll on people’s mental health, and a humanitarian crisis. How are ordinary Cubans experiencing these attacks and this crisis?

Guest: Ed Augustin, British Journalist, Writer for The New York Times and Drop Site News, and Reporter for NBC News and Al Jazeera, Havana, Cuba.
