Chapter 1: What recent events have prompted a response from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is condemning the deaths of Mexican citizens in U.S. immigration custody. Today, Sheinbaum said she is ordering Mexican consulates to visit detention centers daily and is seeking investigations into the deaths of 15 migrants. They include a man who recently died while detained in Louisiana.
NPR's Jasmine Garz reports that overall 28 people have died while in immigration and Customs Enforcement custody since last October, making this fiscal year one of the deadliest on record for ICE detainees.
Authorities say 49-year-old Alejandro Cabrera Clemente was found unresponsive on Friday, April 11th,
Chapter 2: What allegations have emerged against Congressman Eric Swalwell?
at the Wind Correctional Center in Louisiana. The cause of death was not revealed. Cabrera, who was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, had been in the United States for 25 years. According to the April ICE statistics, there are more than 60,000 people in detention, a dip from previous months, but nevertheless a historically high number.
Clementa's death is the 28th for the fiscal year, the deadliest since 2004. The agency released a statement writing, ICE is committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure, and humane environments. Jasmine Garst, NPR News, New York.
Another woman is publicly accusing Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of sexually assaulting her.
Chapter 3: How is the conflict in Iran affecting global oil demand?
Today, Lana Drews alleged that Swalwell drugged, choked, and raped her in 2018. She says she plans to press charges. Swalwell has not responded to the latest allegation. He has denied criminal wrongdoing against other accusers who've come forward. In light of the allegation, Swalwell recently dropped out of the race for California governor.
and yesterday he announced he would resign from Congress. The International Energy Agency predicts that the conflict in Iran will cut into global oil demand this year. The intergovernmental group represents the world's biggest energy consumers, and as NPR's Camilla Dominovsky tells us, its latest monthly report on oil markets detail the many disruptions caused by the war.
The IEA still anticipates that the global appetite for oil will grow this year, but less than it expected before the war. That's because of supply shortages, higher prices, and direct impacts like the suspension of flights in the Middle East. In a similar report this week, the oil cartel OPEC, which represents oil producers, estimates that demand for oil would be unchanged for the year overall.
The two groups often disagree. Neither body predicts a major hit to the global economy, although the IEA warns that if oil prices remain high for a protracted period, that would weigh on growth. Camila Dominovsky, NPR News.
Chapter 4: What measures is the FAA taking to limit flights at O'Hare International Airport?
From Washington, this is NPR News. The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking to limit flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to help prevent flight delays during the busy summer travel season. NPR's Joel Rose reports.
American and United are locked in a fight over market share at O'Hare Airport. Both airlines have been aggressively adding flights at the airport where they each have a hub. Maybe too many flights, according to the FAA. Regulators are moving to cap flights at O'Hare this summer. prevent gridlock at the airport, which is now the busiest in the US in terms of takeoffs and landings.
The airlines have supported the FAA's plan, at least publicly, but the Chicago Department of Aviation, which operates the airport, argues that O'Hare's recent expansion has reduced delays and increased its operating capacity. Joel Rose, NPR News.

Chapter 5: What human rights action plans are host cities for the World Cup required to publish?
According to the nonprofit Human Rights Watch, out of FIFA's 16 host cities, only four, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Vancouver, have published plans. Candace Stansel is Atlanta's chief impact officer and oversaw the human rights action plan's creation.
some cities opted not to create a human rights plan at all, which is a fascinating kind of choice. And Atlanta was very much excited to do ours, right? We believe this is our legacy.
Stancil says Atlanta has put in place initiatives to support unsheltered residents, prevent human trafficking, and ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. For NPR News, I'm Marlon Hyde in Atlanta.
