In an information note, the Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretariat stressed that the 1970 Boundary Treaty between the two countries establishes that, in Río Bravo, the international boundary runs through the center of the river’s normal channel.

“That boundary determines the sovereignty of the lands on both sides of the border, regardless of the prior sovereignty those lands may have had,” the ministry said.
The authority also specified that the International Boundary and Water Commission (CILA) is the body empowered by both governments to apply the Treaty and determine which side of the boundary each island is on, and that no state authority has that attribution.
Under the pact, it added, neither country may build works that, in CILA’s judgment, could divert or obstruct the normal flow of the river.

Texas authorities in the United States designated nine islands located on the water border between the two nations, at the level of its territory between Laredo and McAllen, as property of the demarcation. In a statement, Dawn Buckingham, the state’s land commissioner, granted authorization for the state’s Army to access those small territories with the purported objective of maintaining the “operational security” of the southern border.
Meanwhile, Mexico says it will closely monitor any action in the area and reiterated its commitment to compliance with the treaties governing the common border and to bilateral dialogue through the established mechanisms.
Amid questioned statements on security made by the United States since Donald Trump took the Presidency in 2025, Mexico has stressed the existence of bilateral coordination and collaboration, but without subordination and with unrestricted respect for sovereignty.

Family Court 24 of Bogotá gave the Ministry of Cultures and the National Museum 48 hours to reverse the earlier action. The order specifies that no authority may remove pieces because of their content, ideological stance or political perspective.
The venue is again displaying cases, panels and audiovisual elements with materials showing key passages of Colombian politics, and its rooms show promotional posters for the presidential candidacies of Carlos Pizarro and Bernardo Jaramillo Ossa, left-wing figures assassinated in 1990.

Among the returned pieces are several related to feminist struggles, LGTBI movements, victims of the armed conflict and the 2016 peace process, including the “Balígrafo,” the pen manufactured from a bullet casing used in the signing of the peace agreement with the FARC.
The earlier removal was part of the “cultural counterrevolution” announced by Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella, while Paola Holguín, minister of culture, said museums “must not serve as instruments of political indoctrination or spread biased versions of history.”
Among the removed pieces were a pride flag belonging to activist Elizabeth Castillo; a poster of Bernardo Jaramillo Ossa, the Patriotic Union candidate assassinated in 1990, which the Center for Memory, Peace and Reconciliation printed in 2010; and another of Carlos Pizarro, who was killed five weeks after Jaramillo, in April 1990.

The official decision sparked strong reactions among activists, artists, politicians and Colombian public opinion. Colombian Law 397 of 1997, known as the General Culture Law, establishes in its first article and point four that, under no circumstances, “the State shall exercise censorship over the form and ideological and artistic content of cultural achievements and projects.”
A protest against censorship was also held outside the National Museum. The peaceful gathering was dispersed by police forces using water-cannon vehicles, stun detonations and tear gas.

The call is identified as “Brasil con S” (Brazil with an S), responding to a coup letter from the U.S. whose first version used an old coat of arms with the inscription “Estados Unidos do Brazil,” and named Flavio Bolsonaro the rightful president, despite his defeat in the runoff election. A later version changed the world “president” to “leader of Brazil”.

“We remain mobilized and organized to fight against any attempt at a coup in our country. There is no point in fleeing to the United States or ranting on the internet,” Camila Moraes, general secretary of the National Union of Students (UNE), said.
She mentioned Bolsonaro’s use of “a coat of arms we do not use” and highlighted the student movement’s role in attracting votes and ensuring Lula’s victory in the second round.

In a radio interview, Moraes stated that “Flávio Bolsonaro’s threats will come up against mass mobilizations.” She backed the progress of judicial investigations in accordance with the law and rejected the narrative of political persecution used by the far-right senator, who violated a judicial ban on leaving the country, to divert attention from the irregularities under investigation and to refuse to recognize President Lula da Silva’s victory.
After the presidential election in Brazil, in which President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won with 51,79% of the valid votes, compared to 48,21% for candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazilian authorities initiated formal legal probes into the campaigns.
RELATED: Milei and Allegations Regarding Aiding the Escape of Flávio Bolsonaro
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and judicial figures ordered federal law enforcement agencies to investigate potential illegal foreign financing for Bolsonaro’s campaign, coordinated algorithm manipulation, and external digital interference targeting the Brazilian democratic process.
This investigation serves as an opportunity to observe how contemporary far-right political movements operate across national borders. Rather than functioning as isolated domestic phenomenon, reactionary political campaigns frequently rely on financial backing from foreign billionaire networks and digital infrastructure managed by major technology corporations.
Examining these connections provides clear insight into how external actors attempt to influence political outcomes within sovereign Latin American states, highlighting the structural vulnerabilities of modern democratic systems to foreign technological and financial intervention.
The Brazilian Supreme Court ordered the federal police to conduct a judicial inquiry to examine financial flows from United States-based political donor networks.
Among the focal points of the investigation are financial conduits and ideological organizations linked to prominent U.S. political figures and conservative donors, including networks associated with U.S. political figures such as Vice-president JD Vance and tech billionaire Peter Thiel, such as the Rockbridge Network.
Investigators are tasked with determining whether resources from these entities crossed international borders to support Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign, potentially violating Brazilian campaign finance laws that strictly prohibit foreign funding in national elections.
The mechanics of these financial transfers reflect a broader pattern of transnational cooperation among right-wing factions. Wealthy conservative donors such as Thiel, Vance, and Zuckerberg increasingly allocate capital to ideological allies across the globe to advance shared economic and political objectives.
By bypassing domestic transparency regulations, these international funding streams allow external actors to prop up political movements that align with their geopolitical and ideological interests.
Analyzing these financial channels clarifies the material foundations supporting far-right electoral strategies in Latin America and underscores the challenges sovereign nations face in maintaining electoral integrity against well-funded foreign interventions.

The judicial mandate issued by Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino explicitly extends the federal investigation beyond financial transactions to encompass digital infrastructure operated by major technology corporations and prediction platforms.
The investigation targets the activities of Meta Platforms and the decentralized prediction market Polymarket, which receives major financial backing from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, to evaluate their potential role in distorting the Brazilian digital information ecosystem during the presidential race.
Federal police are examining whether algorithmic recommendation engines on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook deliberately throttled content from progressive political organizations, including President Lula da Silva’s coalition, while systematically amplifying content favoring Flávio Bolsonaro.
In parallel, investigators are assessing the influence of prediction platforms like Polymarket, where financial betting mechanisms generate real-time probabilistic odds on political outcomes.
The probe aims to determine whether large-scale financial bets were deployed on these platforms to artificially inflate candidate odds and manufacture a false perception of electoral momentum.
Brazilian authorities are seeking to verify if coordinated international entities utilized artificial intelligence tools, paid online influencers, and targeted digital distribution networks to bypass electoral transparency rules, effectively weaponizing technical platform architectures to shape public opinion and undermine democratic confidence.

After his election defeat, Flávio Bolsonaro departed Brazil alongside his family, traveling through the Argentine province of Misiones, before boarding a private flight from Guayaquil, Ecuador, to Miami, Florida.
The departure occurred amid the active federal investigations against him, involving alleged financial improprieties and money laundering schemes.
Minutes after the presidential election results were finalized, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued an order canceling Senator Flávio Bolsonaro’s passport and directing him to surrender his travel documents to federal law enforcement authorities, a deadline the candidate failed to meet.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva characterized the flight as a shameful evasion of legal accountability, asserting that individuals who have committed no offenses do not seek to flee their home country.
Conversely, United States offered implicit support. President Donald Trump acknowledged that U.S. authorities had granted entry permissions to the Bolsonaro family, publicly describing the Brazilian electoral process as very strange while declining to criticize the Senator’s sudden departure.

Shortly after arriving in United States, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro issued a public open letter from Miami proclaiming himself the “true president-elect” of Brazil.
In his statement, Bolsonaro asserted that he had not fled his home country, claiming instead that he departed for Brazil’s benefit to lead the national opposition from abroad while alleging widespread electoral fraud and institutional overreach.
The declaration explicitly urged foreign governments and international organizations to withhold diplomatic recognition from the incoming administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The public stance drew swift pushback across the Brazilian political spectrum and among international observers. It characterized the statement as an attempt to undermine democratic institutions and subvert the constitutional order.
After intense Brazilian backlash and subtle diplomatic pressure, Bolsonaro subsequently deleted the initial letter, releasing a revised text that removed the claim to the presidency and referred to his role as a leader of the Brazilian political opposition.
While political figures such as Donald Trump confirmed that U.S. authorities had granted entry permissions to the Bolsonaro family, official statements from Washington maintained a calculated diplomatic distance regarding the proclamation.
U.S. officials declined to endorse Bolsonaro’s claim to the presidency, reiterating a stance of non-interference in the internal legal and electoral affairs of Brazil.
Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign highlights the complex intersections between domestic electoral processes and international political networks.
The integration of foreign financial capital, algorithmic content distribution, and decentralized prediction markets presents distinct challenges for national regulatory frameworks designed to protect electoral integrity.
Protecting democratic institutions requires comprehensive regulatory mechanisms capable of addressing cross-border political financing and ensuring algorithmic transparency among digital platform operators.
As Brazilian judicial authorities continue their investigations into campaign transactions and online information practices, the case emphasizes the necessity of maintaining rigorous legal oversight to safeguard national sovereignty against foreign technological and financial influence.
