Two major news agencies are demanding that Israel clarify what happened during strikes last month that killed five journalists as part of the Israeli war against Hamas in Gaza. Reuters and The Associated Press — through their top editors, Alessandra Galloni and Julie Pace — called on the Israeli government to “explain the deaths of these journalists and to take every step to protect those who continue to cover this conflict.” Killed in the strikes were five journalists, including visual journalist Mariam Dagga, who worked for AP and other news organizations; Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri; and Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist whose work had been published by Reuters.
Latino leaders are expressing dismay over recent immigration enforcement operations in Chicago. The incidents include a fatal shooting during a traffic stop, the arrest of an immigrant at a barbershop and a standoff between protesters and agents at an immigration processing facility. Democratic Rep. Chuy Garcia said at a Saturday news conference that the recent incidents have people asking themselves, “What’s to stop them from getting any one of us?” Fellow Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez said she will demand a thorough investigation of the traffic stop that turned deadly. She also called for community unity. The Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz” campaign targets so-called sanctuary laws in the state.

The group says it has collected more than 3,000 signatures. It has not called for a boycott on all Israeli film institutions, and says it is targeting only institutions and not Israeli individuals.

The State Department has formally advised staffers that it will be sending layoff notices to some of them soon. It comes as part of dramatic changes to the agency that the Trump administration announced earlier this year. The workforce cuts and reorganization of the country’s diplomatic corps are part of a wider effort to reduce the size of the federal government.
