El día después: cómo está la frontera sur de EEUU tras el fin del Título 42

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:25:25 GMT

EL PASO, Texas — En su frontera con México, Estados Unidos logró voltear con relativa calma la página de las restricciones a la inmigración impuestas durante la pandemia, mientras los migrantes se adaptan a las nuevas y estrictas normas destinadas a desalentar los cruces ilegales y esperan que se cumpla la promesa de nuevas vías legales de entrada al país.Un día entero después de que se eliminaran las normas conocidas como Título 42, migrantes y funcionarios gubernamentales seguían evaluando los efectos de la nueva normativa del gobierno del presidente Joe Biden con la esperanza de estabilizar la región fronteriza y socavar a los contrabandistas que cobran a los migrantes para llegar allí.Ahora, Estados Unidos básicamente prohíbe a los inmigrantes solicitar asilo en el país si no lo pidieron antes en línea o si no buscaron protección primero en los países por los que viajaron. El dato clave que define quiénes pueden solicitar asilo en EEUU CB...

Buffalo Bills sign 1st-round draft pick Dalton Kincaid to 4-year contract

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:25:25 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills signed rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid to a four-year contract on Saturday in a move that locks up the team’s entire six-member draft class.Buffalo traded up two spots to select the Utah product with the 25th overall selection last month. Kincaid led FBS tight ends with eight touchdowns receiving last season and finished with 16 overall in three years at Utah.Under-recruited coming out of high school in Nevada, Kincaid spent his first two college seasons at San Diego, where he led FCS tight ends in averaging nearly 19 yards per catch in 2019.Kincaid’s pass-catching ability and versatility in being able to play off the ball as a receiver provides him the potential of filling an immediate need on Buffalo’s Josh Allen-run offense. He can fill the slot receiver’s role, which is open after the team did not re-sign Isaiah McKenzie this offseason.The signing was announced on the second day of the Bills’ three-day rookie minicamp and comes t...

Cardinals’ Willson Contreras to return to catching duties on Monday

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:25:25 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Willson Contreras’ demotion from catching didn’t last very long.St. Louis manager Oli Marmol announced before Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox that the 31-year-old Contreras will be back behind the plate on Monday night when the Cardinals open a homestand against the Milwaukee Brewers.“We felt really good about the progress that we’ve made and it lines up really well for him to catch Monday,” Marmol said.Looking to replace Yadier Molina at catcher, St. Louis signed the three-time All-Star to an $87.5 million, five-year contract in December, its biggest move of the offseason.But Marmol announced last weekend that Contreras would be taking a break from catching for a while — a move that raised questions about the fit of the free agent acquisition in the first place.The departure of Molina, a nine-time Gold Glove winner who retired after his 19th season with the Cardinals, looms over the team’s losing record.Contreras will be catching right-hander Jack Flaherty ...
