Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Mexico will request criminal charges from U.S. prosecutors relating to the deaths of its citizens in the U.S. two days after ICE agents fatally shot a Mexican national in Houston.
What diplomatic actions will Mexico take after U.S. immigration-related deaths?
For Member Station KJZZ, Nina Kravinsky has more from Hermosillo, Mexico.
Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco says his country will take additional steps to protect Mexican nationals in the U.S. from mistreatment, more than a year after the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement efforts. Velasco says 14 Mexican nationals have died in immigration custody since the beginning of President Trump's term, and three more have died during immigration enforcement actions. We're going to move on from the diplomatic sphere and go directly before prosecutors, Velasco says, adding Mexico will also file civil lawsuits against companies that operate immigration detention facilities. For NPR News, I'm Nina Kravinsky in Hermosillo, Mexico.
The investigation continues into the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, who died while celebrating the Fourth of July on an island off the Mississippi coast. His body was found three days later. The Wells family has brought on prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump into the case. Elise Gregg of Mississippi Public Broadcasting and Gulf States Newsroom has more.
Crump's office has ordered an independent autopsy. On the Don Lemon Show this week, he said results would be ready on Friday. In the meantime, findings from the state's autopsy are pending. Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindall says they're waiting until all the reports are run to release any information, including cause of death.
Once the toxicology reports are complete, we'll be processed and due course and provided to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
Local law enforcement is asking the public for photos, videos, and eyewitness accounts to aid their investigation. For NPR News, I'm Elise Gregg in Jackson, Mississippi.
Goldman Sachs is banning employees from betting on prediction markets like Kelshi and PolyMarket.
How many Mexican nationals have died in U.S. immigration custody and what legal steps are planned?
As MPR's Bobby Allen reports, the investment bank is the latest to warn staff about abusing confidential information.
Prediction markets offer betting on many topics involving finance, whether it's a company's quarterly earnings, or what an analyst will say on an investor call, or when a company will introduce a new service. The new rule from Goldman Sachs prohibits employees from placing bets on future outcomes related to finance. corporate America, elections, or geopolitics. It does allow for employees to wager on sports and entertainment. Billions of dollars are traded every week on prediction market sites, which are largely unregulated. Despite the new rule, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said earlier this year that prediction markets were, quote, super interesting, and that he had met with prediction market executives over possible partnerships.
