SHIELD OF THE AMERICAS: Ecuador’s Noboa Says US Troops Are Welcome To Help Fight Drug Cartels (VIDEO)

The Western Hemisphere is getting more secure by the day.

The new anti-Cartel alliance put forward by US President Donald J. Trump is starting to change the landscape in Latin America, once forgotten by feeble Joe Biden, and left to be infiltrated by Russia, China, and Iran.

But now, action against these criminal drug networks is ongoing, stronger than ever.

As a clear example, we have Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa saying he would welcome US troops to help confront the ‘security crisis’ in his nation.

Bloomberg reported:

“The US has already helped Ecuador target criminal gangs with its advanced tracking and intelligence technology, Noboa said in an interview. He would be in favor of even more involvement from the administration of President Donald Trump, who he said shares his concern with combating drug trafficking.

‘It’s not an invasion, it’s not a — not an intruder coming into our country’, Noboa said Tuesday, speaking at his home overlooking the Guayas River in the gang-ridden port city of Guayaquil. ‘It’s actually international collaboration against crime’.”

Noboa predicted a US troop deployment happening as early as this year.

“With US help, he said that his government had succeeded in slashing the homicide rate in the violent region near the Colombian border. Government data shows a near 35% year-over-year decline in violent crime in those hot spots during the first quarter of this year.”

“Noboa is one of Trump’s closest allies in Latin America, who has deepened security ties with Washington and taken a similarly confrontational approach both to drug cartels and to trade and diplomacy. In March, Ecuador carried out military actions using US intelligence to target groups they labeled terrorist.”

The future is here!

On Wednesday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump had a special guest at the White House for her Fostering the Future Together summit on AI education.

The First Lady began the second day of her tech summit at the White House by walking out with a U.S.-built humanoid robot.

As she entered the summit, which consists of leaders from 45 nations and over 28 technology organizations, she shared, “It’s fair to state you’re my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”

Per The Washington Times:

A talking humanoid robot joined first lady Melania Trump for her international summit on technology in Washington, an eye-popping start to the second day of the session.

The robot walked down a corridor with Mrs. Trump before welcoming guests in multiple languages in the East Room.

The white and black robot then wandered back down the hall while Mrs. Trump joked about it being the first “American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”

The first lady is hosting the spouses of world leaders this week as part of her Fostering the Future coalition. Its goal is to improve children’s lives through education and technology, harnessing artificial intelligence while mitigating potential risks tied to AI.

Time Magazine awarded the Figure 03 humanoid robot as one of the best inventions of 2025.

The robot can perform tasks around the home, such as folding clothes and loading the dishwasher.

Figure AI, the company behind the robot, hopes to put the bots to work across the U.S. economy.

Loyola University Campus Newspaper Apologizes for Calling Murder Suspect an ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Instead of “Rogers Park Resident”

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to discuss the tragic and preventable murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.

Early in the morning on Thursday of last week, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near the Chicago campus by one of Joe Biden’s illegals.

The masked gunman approached a group of students walking in the Rogers Park neighborhood and opened fire, shooting Gorman in the head. She died at the scene.

On Sunday, it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime. Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

In its coverage of the tragedy, Loyola’s campus newspaper, The Phoenix, has caved to the woke mob by changing wording in the coverage of the murder of one of its own to placate the left’s agenda.

While originally referring to Medina as an illegal immigrant, they edited the post to frame him as a “Rogers Park Resident.”

The College Fix reports:

Campus newspaper The Phoenix originally reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

The original post also referred to Medina as an “illegal immigrant.”

However, facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident,” referring to the Chicago neighborhood where Loyola’s main campus is located.

An editor’s note was added to the original story, which spent almost as much time bemoaning the “harm” of calling the alleged murderer what he is than spent on the tragic death of a young woman just beginning her life.

Editor’s Note:

On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members.

Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an “illegal immigrant,” using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper.

No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.

We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities.

A 28-year-old man from Rancho Cucamonga was arrested Friday morning after he allegedly set multiple intentional fires inside the busy Ontario Mills Mall in Ontario, California, forcing a full evacuation and temporary closure of the shopping center.

The crazy scene was captured on video by witnesses.

Ontario Police officers responded around 10:30 a.m. on Friday to reports of a suspicious male carrying a lighter and a backpack who was intentionally igniting fires inside the mall.

Callers described the suspect actively setting blazes in several stores, including the True Religion outlet and Nordstrom Rack.

Officers quickly located the suspect, identified as Luis Javier Gallegos Jr., inside the True Religion store.

Footage shared on social media shows flames burning in the store as police confront and take Gallegos into custody after he failed to comply with commands.

WATCH:

According to a press release from the Ontario Police Department, “One officer received non-life-threatening injuries during the incident and was later treated and released from a local medical center. ”

Gallegos was also injured and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.

After medical clearance, Gallegos was booked into the West Valley Detention Center on an arson-related felony charge.

Explosive detection K-9 teams swept the mall as a precaution, but no additional threats were found.

Fire crews extinguished the fires with no reported injuries to shoppers or mall employees.

The mall remained closed for the rest of the day.

No motive has been released by authorities, and the investigation remains ongoing.

This incident comes days after a separate large warehouse fire in Ontario that led to arson charges against another suspect, though police have not linked the two cases.
