Abusado y perseguido: cómo el régimen de excepción de El Salvador se internacionalizó
Bajo el gobierno del presidente Nayib Bukele, El Salvador se ha convertido en el modelo de una política de mano dura para combatir el crimen organizado, que gobiernos desde Estados Unidos hasta Ecuador y Argentina buscan emular.A pesar de denuncias de arrestos arbitrarios, juicios injustos, condiciones inhumanas en prisión —incluso torturas y ejecuciones extrajudiciales— pocos cuestionan la campaña antipandillas. Ni siquiera quienes abandonan El Salvador logran escapar de su alcance. Esta es la historia de un joven que, aunque no era perfecto, no tenía antecedentes de vínculos con pandillas, pero fue perseguido incluso después de haber dejado el país.Abusado y perseguido: cómo el régimen de excepción de El Salvador se internacionalizó | Escrito y leído por Carlos García.Visite insightcrime.org para más información.

Abused and Pursued: How El Salvador’s State of Emergency Went International
Under President Nayib Bukele, El Salvador has become the model of a hardline, or “mano dura,” approach to combatting organized crime, with governments from the United States to Ecuador to Argentina emulating its vision for security. Despite reports of arbitrary arrests, unfair trials, and inhumane conditions in prison — even torture and extrajudicial executions — few question the anti-gang campaign. Even those who leave El Salvador cannot escape its grasp. This is the story of one young man, who, while not perfect, had no documented history with gangs, but yet was pursued even after he left El Salvador.Abused and Pursued: How El Salvador’s State of Emergency Went International | Written by Carlos García and read by Steven Dudley.Visit insightcrime.org for more information.

Redadas de ICE en Nashville: ¿Ofensiva antipandillas o cacería de migrantes?
Desde que Trump comenzó su segundo mandato en enero, una docena de organizaciones criminales latinoamericanas, entre ellas MS13 y Tren de Aragua, han sido designadas como organizaciones terroristas extranjeras. Usando la alegación de que estos grupos están invadiendo Estados Unidos, la administración Trump ha lanzado ofensivas contra las pandillas, dirigidas a los migrantes, lo que ha llevado a la detención y deportación de miles. InSight Crime analizó cómo se están desarrollando, a nivel local en el Estado de Tennessee, las dinámicas nacionales que combinan operaciones contra la migración y contra el crimen.Este es el primer capítulo de una serie de tres partes, en la que exploramos la historia de la MS13, una de las pandillas que el gobierno de Trump calificó como terrorista invasora.Redadas de ICE en Nashville: ¿Ofensiva antipandillas o cacería de migrantes? | Escrito por James Bargent y leído por Creusa Muñoz.Visite insightcrime.org para más información.

How Drug Cartels Moved into Illegal Logging in Mexico
In November, nearly 100 countries will come together for the COP30 climate summit in Brazil to discuss strategies and pledges for addressing climate change and environmental destruction. But politics is just one side of the environmental coin: in Latin America, organized crime is deeply involved in activities that damage the environment, like illegal logging. Illegal logging is a significant contributor to deforestation, habitat loss, and species extinction, as well as global warming. In fact, as much as 30% of the wood harvested worldwide is done illegally — representing tens if not over a hundred billion dollars per year. In this narrated story, we examine the illegal logging economy in Chihuahua, Mexico, where drug traffickers have dug into wood trafficking, impacting local Indigenous Tarahumara communities.How Drug Cartels Moved into Illegal Logging in Mexico | Written and read by Deborah Bonello.Visit insightcrime.org for more information.
