Associated Press journalists spent more than two weeks aboard a ship off the coast of Antarctica for a rare, up-close look at the world’s most remote fishing fleet. Here’s what they saw:.

Ex Venezuela spy chief Hugo Carvajal pleaded guilty to drug charges a week before trial was set to begin in Manhattan. Prosecutors say his crimes call for a life sentence. So why plead? Maybe the spy better known as "Pollo" has more secrets to spill.

NEW: Ex Venezuela spymaster Hugo Carvajal pleads guilty to narco-terrorist and other criminal charges a week before his trial was set to start in NYC.

Ex CIA op urges Trump to delay narcotics trial of ex Venezuela spy boss Hugo Carvajal for a national security debrief. "He's no angel," says Gary Berntsen. But "his knowledge of the commingled networks of espionage agents from America’s enemies is key to preventing more damage."

An ex top DEA informant nicknamed Boliche — Bowling Ball — has been charged with wire fraud for allegedly extorting high-level traffickers while posing as a legal fixer. Feds say the Colombian snitch got snared in his own web of lies. w/ @JimMustian.

Hiding handwritten notes from classified material in your socks? That's really poor spy craft.

San Francisco immigration court shares part of a private downtown high-rise. Unlike most immigration courthouses, where photos are banned and vans slip in/out of garages, it's hard for @ICEgov agents arresting migrants to avoid cameras. @tomoki_chien .

While Trump’s mass deportation pledge has frightened migrants from many nations, it has come as a shock to the 2.4 million Cuban-Americans, who strongly backed the Republican twice and have long enjoyed a place of privilege in the U.S. immigration system.

“We’ve succeeded, as humans, to destroy huge amounts of nature on most of the world’s islands. Socotra is a place where we can actually really do something. But if we don’t, this one is on us.”. Amazing story (and pics) by @a_hammerschlag .

"You’re free to go,” the judge told 28-year old Colombian migrant Juan Serrano. Except he really wasn’t. Waiting as he exited the Miami courtroom were ICE agents who cuffed him against the wall and whisked him away in a van along with 12 other migrants.

When a Mexican ship struck the Brooklyn Bridge, the tide had just turned and a fast current flooded upriver. Such hazards are no match for a veteran captain, but mistakes can be costly in a busy, narrow harbor known for heavy winds and hidden eddies.

A Mexican security consultant who recently has taught counter-drug classes for the U.S. State Department has been shot and killed in a cartel ambush at a restaurant in Guadalajara.

As Colombia's "Contraband King," Diego Marín is alleged to have built a money-laundering empire paying bribes to police officers and politicians. All he while he had an even more powerful ally: The Drug Enforcement Administration. @DEAHQ . w/@JimMustian.

RT @bg_buitrago: “Es una vergüenza para la DEA”, General Juan Carlos Buitrago. “Porque eso terminó creando un monstruo”. El aliado secreto….

Colombia has applied to join a China-based development bank, another sign of Latin America’s drift from the U.S. as Trump's foreign aid cuts, trade barriers and migration crackdown spurs regional leaders to seek closer ties with DC's geopolitical rival.

What a difference a year makes. The DEA's 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment contains an entirely new section on 🇻🇪Tren de Aragua and MS-13 from 🇸🇻— both designated foreign terrorist organizations by Trump. In last year's report, neither gang even merited a mention. @DEAHQ

A federal judge in Tampa sentenced a former Colombian customs worker on Thursday to 12+ years in prison for taking more than $1 million in bribes in a money laundering conspiracy involving a corrupt U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
