Mexico City Protest, Trump's Visa Order: Two News Stories in One Day

Mexico City Protest Incident Resolved Peacefully; Trump Halts Student Visas A minor incident unfolded yesterday on Calzada San Antonio Abad in Mexico City during a protest. A driver attempted to pass through the demonstration, leading to a brief standoff with protesters. However, swift intervention by traffic police de-escalated the situation, and no injuries were reported. "The driver attempted to proceed at low speed, which angered some protesters who surrounded the vehicle," reported Enrique Villanueva of Imagen Televisión. Following dialogue between police and both the driver and protesters, the driver left, and the march continued. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump issued a directive to all US embassies and consulates to immediately stop issuing additional student and exchange visitor visas. While the exact reasons behind the order remain unclear, it is speculated to be connected to Trump's ongoing dispute with Harvard University. This decision could have far-reaching consequences for international students seeking to study in the United States. The order is effective immediately, according to a cable dated today.
