Senate convenes full committee to question health secretary-designate
By THE STAR STAFF
Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz announced Wednesday that a Full Committee hearing will be held next week, to which Dr. Carlos Díaz Vélez, president of the Physicians and Surgeons Association of Puerto Rico (CMCPR), and Dr. Víctor Ramos Otero, the designated secretary of the Department of Health, will be summoned.
“On Thursday, March 27, we will have a Full Committee to question the president of the Physicians Association, Dr. Carlos Díaz, at 9:30 a.m. in the Leopoldo Figueroa Room,” Rivera Schatz said on the Senate floor. “That same day, at 1:30 p.m., we will summon Dr. Víctor Ramos, designated secretary of Health, to a Full Committee so that all senators can ask questions.”
The persistent doubts around Ramos’ nomination stem from allegations by Díaz Vélez, who claims that while Ramos was president of the Medical Association, he convinced doctors to invest $1.4 million in a medical plan that never materialized and whose funds disappeared.
Díaz Vélez confirmed in a press conference that he will send a package of documents to the Senate Appointments Committee.
“And there’s no need to hide anything here,” Díaz Vélez stated at a press conference. “Someone said that everything I was going to say was a lie, it was all a lie. Here are the documents; all of these documents will be sent to the Appointments Committee between today and tomorrow. They will be delivered to the president of the Senate, Thomas Rivera Schatz. He already knows that I’m going to deliver these documents and is very receptive to receiving them. He told me that I’ll be called at some point with any questions or concerns, and I told him yes, I’m willing.”
November, $1.2 million was transferred from an escrow account to a checking account. Initial payments were made from June to November and December to this illegal usurious loan from the Association’s fund. Later, in a conversation with the lawyer, I asked him, ‘Are you crazy? What did you do, a usurious loan? Who did you take that from?’ I overheard that conversation with Mr. Collazo and Mr. Cardona, and he admitted that he took out a usurious loan without presenting it to the board.”
The president of the CMCPR alleged that Ramos continued to pay the loan without the board’s authorization and that the amount disbursed between the different phases of the health plan reached $128,000.
“I ask the health plan investors: Did you authorize a loan shark to be paid from your shares? That’s for Dr. Ramos to answer,” Díaz Vélez said. “This was a clear violation of the regulations and an act of disrespect toward this institution, for which he was expelled.”
Díaz Vélez also confirmed that he received a request last Monday from La Fortaleza to provide a copy of the documents related to the case.
The physician noted that Ramos was summarily suspended from the CMCPR governing board when he was a member as outgoing president, “because it was confirmed that, behind the board’s back and without authorization, he involved the Association in an illegal loan.”
“There is a health plan that was established in January 2017. In June, a usurious loan was requested, supposedly for payroll,” Díaz Vélez said at a press conference. “In

With first 2 bills, governor expands power to diversify energy sources under the law
By THE STAR STAFF
Gov. Jenniffer González Colón signed her first two bills submitted to the island Legislature on Wednesday, seeking to transform the energy system. With her signature, the governor fulfills her commitment to establish a coherent energy policy and legislation to ensure it is tailored to the island’s reality.
The elimination of intermediate renewable energy goals, while maintaining the 100% renewable energy goal by 2050, will allow the Puerto Rico government to flex its muscles and approve conversions of current generating
plants, including coal-fired generation, to cleaner sources such as natural gas and hydrogen, the governor noted.
Act 1-2025 (House Bill 267) updates renewable energy goals, eliminating difficult-to-meet intermediate goals to allow for a realistic and affordable transition. This was a recommendation agreed upon by all sectors, González Colón said.
The legal requirement to meet intermediate goals has made it impossible for the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau to accommodate cleaner and more cost-efficient generation sources as a transition measure toward the goal of 100%
renewable energy by 2050. This, in turn, has made it difficult to replace generating plants with cheaper and cleaner fuels, such as combined cycle, natural gas, and hydrogen. It also extends coal-fired power generation until December 2032. This form of generation represents 25% of Puerto Rico’s energy demand. Currently, the island does not have an alternative energy source to replace this generation that is reliable, non-intermittent, and affordable for our people, the governor said. This change in public energy policy provides the necessary flexibility to approve new generation projects, eliminate the obstacles that impede an effective transformation
of our energy portfolio, and adapt public policy to the reality of Puerto Rico, she said.
The bills are the result of the five meetings the governor has held since last December with her Committee for the Energy Transformation of Puerto Rico, composed of representatives from the public and private sectors, which received presentations from across the island’s energy sector.
The governor also, with Act 2-2025 (HB 268), fulfilled her promise to oversee public-private Partnership contracts with LUMA and Genera PR, by increasing the fines that the Energy Bureau can impose on operators for noncompliance.
Manufacturing leader says reliable energy is key to attracting foreign firms
By THE STAR STAFF
Manufacturers Association President Rafael Vélez Domínguez is insisting that Puerto Rico will not attract foreign firms until it has a reliable electrical system.
He made his remarks during Wednesday’s “Caucus with the Government” event organized by the professional association.
“We cannot attract companies to establish themselves in Puerto Rico, and we cannot talk about economic development if we do not have a reliable, sustainable, and affordable electrical system,” Vélez Domínguez said. “Well, we are doing the best we can to improve it. Instead of
sitting back and criticizing, we are actively participating with the government to make things better.”
The number of blackouts are expected to increase in the summer.
This week, Gov. Jenniffer González Colón signed Executive Order (EO) 2025012 to incentivize the return of manufacturing to Puerto Rico. The order seeks to consolidate the island as a key destination for production and exports within the United States, taking advantage of its established manufacturing infrastructure, strategic location and competitive incentive ecosystem.
Emphasizing the importance of reshoring, the governor said “Puerto Rico is ready to welcome and expand multinational
companies, ensuring that our people have access to more and better job opportunities.” The initiative boosts the local economy and strengthens U.S. national security by enhancing supply chain resilience and emergency response capabilities, González Colón said.
EO 2025-012 signals a firm commitment to revitalize Puerto Rico’s manufacturing sector by defining reshoring as relocating or expanding a company’s activities to its home jurisdiction. With the renewed focus on reshoring, the governor noted, the island is poised to become an even more attractive location for businesses seeking to optimize their supply chains and contribute to the region’s commercial growth.
Report: Community groups have become vital facilitators of affordable housing
By THE STAR STAFF
Over the past 10 years, community groups across Puerto Rico have developed to play a vital role in supporting affordable homes and stronger communities, particularly in the wake of record-breaking climate-fueled disasters.
In a new report, Enterprise – among the largest affordable housing nonprofits in the country – shows how those community groups have effectively developed into powerful intermediaries and first responders, channeling needed funds and know-how to yield resilient communities across the island.
The report is an illustration for how,
at a time of dramatic cuts to government funding, small community-led organizations are foundational to affordability and resilience.
“Over the past decade, we’ve been working alongside housing community development organizations across the island, offering financial support but also critical technical assistance to help the sector grow and develop,” said Erika Ruiz, senior director at Enterprise Advisors, the consulting services arm of Enterprise Community Partners. “Today, while there are still major hurdles to getting assistance and investments to communities island-wide, these community development organizations are now trusted, critical links
in the chain to ensure communities stabilize, recover, and prosper, especially in the wake of disasters and other challenges.”
In the report – “A Decade of Impact: Strengthening Puerto Rico’s Nonprofits for Growth and Resilience” – Enterprise’s Impact and Evaluation team shows that through over $2 million in investments and grant support, the community development sector in Puerto Rico has been able to grow and thrive. Historically, the sector has been plagued by a variety of challenges including funding gaps, leadership deficits, a lack of infrastructure, and an inability to meet compliance requirements, all of which has stalled the organizations’ ability to support vulnerable communities
across Puerto Rico.
“Enterprise doesn’t just provide funding,” said Carmen Matos of Fundación De Desarrollo Comunal (FUNDESCO). “They ensure we know how to use it.”
Through those funds and advisory and technical assistance, Enterprise has worked alongside the sector and the Puerto Rico Department of Housing to improve these organizations’ ability to offer flexible, sustainable support to communities island-wide. That support has allowed the groups to diversify funding streams, leverage resources channeled from the Puerto Rican government, improve disaster preparedness and response, and secure additional federal funds.

After municipal assemblies in seven towns approved increased property taxes for homes, buildings and land, Isabela
Isabela mayor defends hike in property taxes
Mayor Miguel “Ricky” Méndez Pérez defended the decision, citing the absence of a municipal equalization fund.
The municipalities of Camuy, Corozal, Culebra, Isabela, Río Grande, Santa Isabel and Yauco have raised property taxes to obtain more income amid cuts from the central government. Some 36 out of 78 municipalities in Puerto Rico have budget deficits, putting 46% of the municipalities in financial stress. Towns face budget cuts and a fiscal crisis due to a combination of factors, including high debt, economic challenges and the impact of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, better known as PROMESA, the federal law passed by Congress to guide Puerto Rico through bankruptcy and that created the Financial Oversight and Management Board.
Méndez said the municipalities have taken on responsibilities such as road mainte-
nance and school upkeep. In Isabela, the town government also manages a landfill, a home for senior citizens, and a health center, in addition to providing subsidies for citizens to help with expenses like water and electricity bills.
“We’ve focused on Isabela, which has become a significant tourist destination in the western region of Puerto Rico,” the mayor said in a radio interview. “Additionally, we are facing a housing shortage due to the increase in shortterm rentals and second homes. Therefore, we plan to raise the municipal property tax on real and personal property, effective July 1, by an additional percentage.”
Currently, owners of second homes pay a tax rate of 8.34%, which will increase to 9.34%. The adjustment aims to compensate for the approximately $50,000 loss following the elimination of the Equalization Fund, which would generate annual tax revenue of $500,000
Governor nominates new DACO secretary
By THE STAR STAFF
Gov. Jenniffer González Colón on Wednesday nominated Valerie Rodríguez Erazo as secretary of the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO).
The nominee, a lawyer, is the daughter of former Senate President Charlie Rodríguez and is married to Elias Sánchez, who became embroiled in Puerto Rico’s summer of 2019 telegram-gate scandal, which led to the resignation of then-Gov. Ricardo Rosselló Nevares. Rodríguez Erazo’s appointment comes after the Senate rejected the nomination of Natalia Catoni to head DACO.
Senate Vice President Carmelo Ríos San-
tiago had accused Catoni of acting against the law by allegedly extending the probationary periods for employees in her agency.
Catoni became the first González Colón nominee to be rejected by the Senate.
The upper chamber’s Innovation, Reform, and Appointments Committee, chaired by Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz, prepared a report on the nominee’s credentials, but did not approve or endorse her appointment to the position.
“The Senate Innovation, Reform, and Appointments Committee, after study and consideration, has the pleasure of submitting to this Senate its report on the appointment of Ms. Natalia del Valle Catoni as Secretary of the
Department of Consumer Affairs,” the five-page document reads.
During the approval process, no statements were made regarding the reasons for rejecting the appointment.
The governor also named attorney Astrid Piñeiro Vázquez as women’s advocate, certified public accountant Arnaldo J. Ortiz Miranda as administrator of the Puerto Rico Government and Judiciary Employees’ Retirement Systems and executive director of the Teachers’ Retirement Systems, Abner Gómez Cortés as commissioner of the Puerto Rico Emergency Medical Corps Bureau, and Roberto L. Lefranc Fortuño as executive director of the Puerto Rico Office for Socioeconomic and Community Development.
to $600,000.
“CRIM [the Spanish acronym for Municipal Revenue Collections Center] appraisals are based on values from 1957. The appraised value of a property considered a safe home is $15,000 or less,” he added. “This new tax rate will apply to properties exceeding that appraised value. These properties are generally high-value or primarily used as second homes in our city.”
The mayor also disclosed that a previously approved measure to collect operating licenses for more than 1,000 short-term rentals in the municipality has generated $800,000 annually, surpassing the initial expectation of $300,000.
“The purpose of this initiative is not only to register all rental properties and maintain an inventory, but also to fund the municipal security project,” Méndez said. “With these funds, we have been able to increase the capacity of our municipal police.”
Senate confirms Santiago Justiniano, former PRMA president, to head PRIDCO
By THE STAR STAFF
The island Senate on Wednesday confirmed Eric Santiago Justiniano as the new executive director of the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO).
Santiago Justiniano, who was president of the Manufacturers Association until his appointment as head of PRIDCO in
January, highlighted at a recent legislative session his challenges and achievements since joining the agency.
“In these first 60 working days, we have received 56 offers or inquiries to establish operations in Puerto Rico,” Santiago Justiniano said. “The rentals, the income that PRIDCO plans to receive in the coming years, already has seen an increase of $2.6 million that will help us
improve our finances so we can better serve the industry.”
The confirmed PRIDCO director added that the public corporation is actively evaluating strategies to adequately match resources with needs and to place more staff within the organization to enable it to add value and utilize the largest amount of federal funds as quickly as possible.

‘We finally got you.’ Immigrant-rights advocate arrested in Colorado.
By JACK HEALY and JAZMINE ULLOA
Awoman in Denver who became a symbol of immigrant resistance during President Donald Trump’s first term as she evaded deportation was arrested at work earlier this week by federal immigration agents, her family and immigrant activists said.
Jeanette Vizguerra, 53, had been on her break at a Target store near Denver when immigration agents took her into custody, said Jordan Garcia, an immigrant-rights advocate with the American Friends Service Committee who has known Vizguerra for 15 years.
Recounting details of the arrest that Vizguerra had relayed to her family, Garcia

said one of the agents told her, “We finally got you.”
Vizguerra drew national attention when, in early 2017, she packed her clothes and moved with her three youngest children into a church basement in Colorado, hoping that the sanctuary of a house of worship would protect her from Trump’s deportation plans. In 2021, she received a one-year stay of deportation from the Biden administration, but friends said Tuesday that she was aware of her peril.
Her detention has stirred a backlash from Colorado Democratic politicians and immigrant-rights supporters, who accused the Trump administration of trying to silence critics of its immigration crackdown.
Mayor Mike Johnston of Denver condemned Vizguerra’s arrest as a “Putin-style persecution of political dissidents” that had ensnared a working-class mother who had dedicated her life to helping other immigrants in the country without legal permission.
“We don’t see this as immigration enforcement,” he said in an interview. “This is about targeting political opponents and using the force of your government to punish them.”
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., called Vizguerra a “pillar of her community” and urged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to release her. The agency did not immediately comment on her case.
On Tuesday, lawyers for Vizguerra filed a legal challenge to her detention in federal
court. Protesters and family members were keeping vigil outside the immigration detention center in the Denver suburb of Aurora where she was being held.
Vizguerra was the latest high-profile immigrant detained or deported by federal authorities as the Trump administration ramps up its immigration crackdown. While other cases rose to prominence for their involvement in Middle East controversies, Vizguerra may be the first to have gained attention for her immigrant-rights advocacy.
A Brown University professor and doctor with a valid visa was deported over the weekend after Homeland Security officials said she attended the funeral for a Hezbollah leader while on a trip to Lebanon. Earlier this month, a legal permanent resident who led campus protests at Columbia University over Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip was detained by immigration agents without any criminal charges, but nevertheless accused by the Trump administration of “siding with terrorists.”
Vizguerra’s supporters said she had spent years dreading — and preparing for — this moment.
A Mexican citizen, she crossed without authorization into the United States in 1997, found work as a house cleaner and janitor in Denver and had three U.S.-born children, all citizens, according to court filings.
Her long, tangled saga with America’s immigration enforcement system began in
2009 when she was pulled over in a traffic stop in the Denver suburbs.
The officer who pulled her over asked whether she was in the United States legally or illegally, and searched her bag after she declined to answer, according to legal papers later filed by her lawyers. The officer found a made-up Social Security number that she had used to apply for work, and Vizguerra was charged with misdemeanor identity theft. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 21 days in jail.
Vizguerra was then placed into removal proceedings, which she fought and appealed for years. In 2013, after she returned to Mexico to visit her dying mother, she was arrested on her return through Texas and convicted of illegal entry.
After five postponements of deportation, Trump was elected. And in early 2017, she fled to a church.
“My intuition,” Vizguerra said at the time, “tells me that if I go in, I’m not coming out.”
Politicians rallied to her case, and Time named her one of the most influential people of 2017.
More than seven years later, Colorado and Vizguerra are once more at the heart of the battle over immigration enforcement.
About 42,000 migrants arrived in Denver in recent years, many of them on buses sent by the governor of Texas at the height of the migration crisis. The influx strained Denver’s budget and city services and became fodder for the presidential campaign.
Trump made a series of exaggerated claims that Venezuelan gangs had overrun decrepit apartment buildings in Aurora. Earlier this month, Denver’s mayor was summoned to Congress by Republican lawmakers who accused him and other big-city Democrats of trying to flout Trump’s deportation efforts.
With Trump’s return to the White House, Vizguerra and her allies recognized that she was once again vulnerable.
“Her case is a huge miscarriage of justice,” said Hans Meyer, her former immigration attorney and friend of Vizguerra for 20 years.
Garcia said that in recent months, Vizguerra had helped educate immigrants about their legal rights and prepare for the possibility of deportation by drafting a power of attorney. She had made similar preparations.
“She had to live her life and take care of her kids,” Garcia said. “If they can do this to Jeanette, they can do this to anyone.”
NASA astronauts’ nine-month orbital odyssey ends in a splashdown
By KENNETH CHANG and THOMAS FULLER
They set off to spend eight days at the space station. The trip lasted nine months.
On Tuesday, two NASA astronauts who had been in orbit since June, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, splashed down in calm, azure waters off the coast of the Florida Panhandle, concluding a saga that had captivated the country since the summer.
Williams and Wilmore blasted off in June for the International Space Station on their test flight of Starliner, a Boeing spacecraft that was to provide NASA with another option, outside of SpaceX, to carry astronauts to and from orbit. But the Starliner experienced problems with its propulsion system, prompting NASA to send it back to Earth with no crew aboard.
It was a SpaceX capsule, the Crew Dragon, that brought them back from space Tuesday. The spacecraft detached from the space station just after 1 a.m. Eastern time and then traveled back to Earth, slowing from more than 17,000 mph before deploying four large parachutes that gently plopped the spacecraft into the water just before 6 p.m.
Minutes later, as recovery teams inspected the capsule, a pod of curious dolphins circled, a playful terrestrial welcoming party.
Once the capsule had been hoisted onto a ship, the door was opened, and the beaming astronauts were extracted from the spacecraft. After months of weightlessness, their bodies still adjusting to the pull of gravity, they were lifted onto gurneys.
“They all looked very healthy,” Steve Stich, the manager of NASA’s commercial crew program, said during a news conference after the splashdown. “They all looked like they were feeling about normal for the landing and recovery phase, where their body is trying to re-adapt.”
Returning with the two astronauts were Nick Hague, the commander of this mission known as Crew-9, and Alexander Gorbunov, a Russian astronaut.
The four astronauts were scheduled to fly back to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, where they were to remain briefly until doctors let them go home. “They’ll join their families in the next day or so,” Stich said.
The mission both underlined the dominance of SpaceX in the growing field of private spaceflight and the comparative woes of Boeing. But as with so many things in the
early stages of the Trump administration, the astronauts’ return was tinged with politics.
President Donald Trump suggested in January that the Biden administration had stranded the astronauts, and Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, said this month that the Biden administration had rejected his offer to bring them home sooner.
But Bill Nelson, who served as the administrator of NASA during the Biden administration, said that NASA never heard about Musk’s offer and that the agency’s decisions were based on what made the most sense for the operations of the space station.
“On the basis that there was no contact with NASA, there was no political consideration from NASA’s point of view,” Nelson said.
About a half-hour after the astronauts returned, the White House posted on social media, “PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT: President Trump pledged to rescue the astronauts stranded in space for nine months.”
However, it has been NASA’s plan since August for the Crew-9 mission to return with Williams and Wilmore around this time frame.
An hour after the White House post, Musk offered celebratory congratulations on X to teams at SpaceX and NASA “for another safe astronaut return!” He also thanked Trump “for prioritizing this mission!”
But the astronauts also disputed the notion that they were stuck in space.
“It’s work. It’s fun. It’s been trying at times, no doubt,” Wilmore said in an interview from the space station last week with The New York Times. “But ‘stranded’? No. ‘Stuck’? No. ‘Abandoned’? No.”
At the station, Williams and Wilmore had to adjust to their unexpectedly long stay. From the start, they were short of clothes, because their suitcases had been left off the Starliner to make room for a replacement pump to fix the toilet. They relied on spare clothing in the space station.
NASA sent up their clothes and other personal items a couple of months later on a Northrop Grumman cargo ship. Such robotic cargo ships arrive periodically from Russia and the United States, bringing food, supplies and experiments.
According to a summary published by NASA, astronauts at the space station, which orbits about 250 miles above the Earth, carried out a variety of tasks on the station, including maintenance work and nearly 1,000 hours of scientific research.
That included a spacewalk by Williams
and Wilmore to swab the outside of the space station to see if Earth microbes could survive and maybe even thrive in space.
Williams also helped set up an experiment to study how microbes produced nutrients like vitamins, and also conducted research on how weightlessness affected microscopic organisms that could be used to make food and medicines, NASA said.
The astronauts were able to connect with friends, family and the public on the ground — they had access to email and video calls. They tried to put a positive spin on the whole experience.
“You get a little bit more time to enjoy the view out the window,” Williams said in the interview with the Times last week.
Not everything they saw was pleasing. From space, Wilmore saw Hurricane Beryl, which hit Houston in July. The storm damaged the roof of his home. The astronauts also saw the smoke from the Los Angeles wildfires in January.
Wilmore, who has a wife and two children, missed most of his younger daughter’s senior year of high school and his elder daughter’s sophomore year in college. He said his younger daughter was “tough,” but she also told him, “I didn’t know how much I needed you until you were gone.”
Nine months is not an unusually long stay for astronauts in space — Frank Rubio
holds the record for the longest stay in space by an American astronaut at 371 days — but Wilmore and Williams nonetheless had to ward against the damage that space could inflict on the body. Without gravity, bone mass tends to diminish, a space version of osteoporosis. The astronauts worked out on the modified gym equipment in the space station, which included a treadmill with a harness that keeps the runner from floating away.
By the end of their journey, Williams and Wilmore had traveled nearly 121,347,500 miles, having orbited the Earth 4,576 times. Wilmore has spent a total of 31 hours conducting spacewalks during his career and Williams 62 hours, a record for a female astronaut.
Their 286 days in space, including the trip up in June and the descent Tuesday, was long. But their mission was perhaps not as dramatic as the one carried out by Sergei Krikalev, a Soviet astronaut who blasted off May 18, 1991, for a stay at the Soviet Union’s space station, Mir.
While Krikalev was orbiting the Earth, the Soviet Union disbanded, and he was asked to extend his stay by almost five months, in part because of his country’s disintegration and money problems in Moscow.
He ended up staying in space for 313 days, returning to a home country that no longer existed.

Trump fires Democrats on Federal Trade Commission
By DAVID McCABE and CECILIA KANG
President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, a rejection of the corporate regulator’s traditional independence that may clear the way for the administration’s agenda.
The White House told the Democrats, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, that the president was terminating their roles, according to statements from the pair. The FTC, which enforces consumer protection and antitrust laws, typically has five members, with the president’s party holding three seats and the opposing party two.
Members of the FTC and other independent regulatory boards are protected from removal under a 1935 Supreme Court precedent that says the president may not fire them solely over policy disagreements. Slaughter and Bedoya said they planned to challenge Trump’s decision in court.
“Today the president illegally fired me from my position as a federal trade commissioner, violating the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent,” Slaughter, whom Trump nominated to the FTC during his first term in 2018, said in a statement. “Why? Because I have a voice. And he is afraid of what I’ll tell the American people.”
In an interview, Bedoya, who became a commissioner three years ago, said he was worried that an FTC without independence from the president would be subject to the whims of Trump’s business world allies.
“When people hear this news, they need to not think about me,” he said. “They

need to think about the billionaires behind the president at his inauguration.”
Tuesday’s firings are Trump’s latest attempt to assert the power of the presidency over independent regulators at agencies inside the U.S. government, including those that Congress set up to be independent from direct White House control. While regulators are appointed by the president, many of them have traditionally held wide latitude to determine the direction of their agencies.
But the Trump administration has disregarded their traditional protections.
“I am writing to inform you that you have been removed from the Federal Trade Commission, effective immediately,” said a letter sent to one of the commissioners, which was reviewed by The New York Times. “Your continued service on the FTC is inconsistent with my administration’s priorities.”
The Republican chair of the FTC, Andrew Ferguson, said in a statement Tuesday that the agency would continue protecting consumers but backed Trump’s authority to fire the commissioners.
“President Donald J. Trump is the head of the executive branch and is vested with all of the executive power of our government,” Ferguson said. “I have no doubts about his constitutional authority to remove commissio -
ners, which is necessary to ensure democratic accountability for our government.”
A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The firings followed an executive order from Trump last month that sought greater authority over the FTC, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Labor Relations Board.
The order required the independent agencies to submit their proposed regulations to the White House for review, asserted power to block such agencies from spending funds on projects or efforts that conflict with presidential priorities, and declared that they must accept the president’s and the Justice Department’s interpretation of the law as binding.
In January, Trump fired Gwynne Wilcox, a Democratic member of the NLRB. She sued to challenge her dismissal, and a judge reinstated her early this month. The administration has appealed that ruling.
The Justice Department no longer plans to defend as constitutional the Supreme Court precedent on firing regulators only for cause, according to a Feb. 12 letter that the acting solicitor general, Sarah Harris, sent to Sen.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill. The department’s analysis applies to the FTC, the NLRB and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, according to the letter, which was first reported by Reuters.
The letter sent to one of the FTC commissioners on behalf of Trump on Tuesday reiterated that position. The Supreme Court protections do not fit “the principal officers who head the FTC today,” the letter said.
Rebecca Haw Allensworth, a professor at Vanderbilt Law School who studies antitrust, said the FTC had been established as an independent agency in 1914 “on the theory that consumer protection and the various goals of the FTC were better addressed through less political means.”
“If we introduce the idea of political hirings and firings there, that serves to really undermine both the things the FTC can do and also its legitimacy as a bipartisan institution,” she said.
Corporate executives and their advisers are closely watching the direction of the FTC under Ferguson, its new chair. During the Biden administration, the FTC sued to block corporate mergers, aggressively punished companies for user-privacy failures and filed a sweeping lawsuit accusing Amazon of squeezing small businesses. It is set to face off with Meta during a trial in April scrutinizing the social media company’s strategy in acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to cement its dominance.
Slaughter and Bedoya have consistently voted in favor of actions to rein in the power of the tech giants.
After Trump nominated Slaughter to the majority-Republican commission in 2018 to fill an unexpired term, President Joe Biden nominated her for a full seven-year term in February 2023. She previously served as chief counsel to Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the current minority leader, and led his congressional work on telecommunications and tech legislation.
Bedoya, a former head of a tech and privacy center at Georgetown University and Senate aide, joined the FTC in May 2022 after Biden nominated him.
Bedoya said in the interview that he had learned of Trump’s decision when he received a call from Slaughter while at his daughter’s gymnastics class.
“He’s trying to fire me,” Bedoya said. “I am still an FTC commissioner, and I am going to go to court to make sure that’s clear to everybody.”
Wall Street rallies after Fed keeps rates unchanged
U.S. stocks rallied on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged as widely expected, and the central bank and investors continue to gauge how President Donald Trump’s tariff policies affect the economy and inflation.
The central bank kept its benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged in the 4.25%-4.50% range, and indicated that two quarter-point interest-rate cuts were likely later this year, the same median forecast as three months ago. The Fed also forecast slower economic growth and higher inflation.
Policymakers disagreed about the path forward, pointing to uncertainty among members about how to handle the effects of Trump’s plans.
The Fed also said it would reduce the pace of the drawdown of its still-massive balance sheet, as it faces challenges in assessing market liquidity during an ongoing impasse in the U.S. Congress over lifting the government’s borrowing limit.
“Given growing worries around tariffs and how they could affect U.S. growth and inflation,” Matthias Scheiber, head of the multi-asset solutions team at Allspring Global Investments in London, said the Fed “took a widely expected ‘wait and see’ approach on rates.”
Scheiber added: “For 2025, the interest rate market currently expects the Fed will cut rates to around 3.75% by year-end. A lot will depend on how the inflation-versusgrowth trade-off develops—growth may continue weakening, and the Fed may need to cut rates more forcefully than expected.”
Traders still see the Fed lowering borrowing costs by at least two 25-basis point cuts by December, with a 62.2% chance for a cut of at least 25 basis points in June, according to data compiled by LSEG.
According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 (.SPX), gained 60.62 points, or 1.08%, to end at 5,675.44 points, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), gained 247.57 points, or 1.41%, to 17,751.11. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), rose 386.61 points, or 0.93%, to 41,967.92.
Stocks extended gains further as Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke, saying it was too early to determine whether to look through the impact U.S. tariffs would have on inflation, and difficult to assess how much of any price increases are attributable to the levies.
“The market was primarily looking for anything that reduced the uncertainty, and I think simply that Powell was kind of maintaining the outlook there,” said Russell Price, chief economist at Ameriprise Financial in Troy, Michigan.
“Inflation expectations went up just a little bit, and their GDP numbers came down just a little bit, so the market’s taking it as the Fed did not add to the overall uncertainty background that is currently pressuring stocks.”
The European Union will tighten steel import quotas to reduce inflows by a further 15% from April, a senior EU official said, in a move aimed at preventing cheap steel from flooding the European market after Washington imposed
new tariffs.
Boeing (BA.N), shares jumped after the aircraft maker said it does not see a near-term impact from tariffs.
Analysts have said markets are largely eyeing Trump’s announcements regarding reciprocal trade barriers on April 2.
Each of 11 S&P 500 sectors rose, led by a 1.3% gain in consumer discretionary stocks (.SPLRCD), opens new tab.
U.S. stocks have come under selling pressure in recent weeks after a string of economic indicators signaled the economy and consumer sentiment may be cooling as trade policy concerns grow. Still, equities have shown signs of bottoming by registering gains in three of the past four sessions.
Multiple companies have also lowered their profit outlooks, the latest being General Mills (GIS.N). The Pillsbury owner lowered its annual sales outlook, sending its shares lower.
The benchmark S&P 500 index (.SPX), confirmed last week it was in correction following a 10% drop from its recent high. The tech-heavy Nasdaq (.IXIC), also confirmed a
correction on March 6, while the blue-chip Dow is roughly more than 3% away from the correction threshold.

Israelis take to streets a day after Gaza strikes
By ISABEL KERSHNER
Thousands of Israelis gathered Wednesday outside the parliament building in Jerusalem to call for a renewed ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip and to protest political moves by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including firing the head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency.
The convergence of popular anger over both domestic and national security issues came a day after Israel carried out deadly aerial attacks across the Gaza Strip in what Netanyahu said was “only the beginning.” The strikes ended a temporary truce with Hamas that began in January and added to the uncertainty over the fate of hostages still held there.
The broad sense of national solidarity over the war in Gaza, which was set off on Oct. 7, 2023, by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, appears to be fraying. Critics accuse Netanyahu of placing his political survival and bolstering his right-wing government ahead of the country’s best interests.
The Israeli leader appears to be emboldened by the broad backing of President Donald Trump, who has shown little opposition to his approach in Gaza. Despite its strong support for Israel, the Biden administration periodically pushed Israel to do more to avoid civilian casualties in the territory and to alleviate the humanitarian crisis there.
The Trump administration appeared to back Israel’s decision to resume wide-scale attacks, with the White House saying Israel had consulted with the United States before laun-

ching its assault. This month the Trump administration bypassed Congress to send Israel $4 billion in arms and floated a new ceasefire proposal that breaks significantly with the deal signed in January.
terests to stay in power.”
The government has long faced widespread anger from protesters who believe the hostages should be brought back at any cost. Netanyahu defended the surprise attack on Gaza on Tuesday, which killed more than 400 people, as the opening salvo in a campaign to pressure Hamas into releasing more hostages after weeks of fruitless negotiations.
From now on, he said, Israel will increase its military action against Hamas and negotiations will take place “only under fire.”
This month Israel blocked the entry to Gaza of all commercial goods and humanitarian assistance in its bid to pressure Hamas into extending the temporary phase of the ceasefire and releasing more hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas wants any further negotiations to focus on the next phase of the original ceasefire deal, reached in January, which calls for a full Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza and ending the war. Hamas is largely rejecting Israel’s conditions for ending the war, which include the group’s laying down its arms and its leadership’s leaving the Palestinian coastal enclave.
In an effort to bridge the gap, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, backed a proposal approved by Israel for the immediate release of 11 living hostages and half the bodies in exchange for the release of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel and a roughly six-week extension of the temporary ceasefire. During that period, negotiations would take place toward a more permanent solution.

Opinion polls indicate that a majority of Israelis favor a complete cessation of hostilities in Gaza to secure the release of up to 24 living hostages and the bodies of more than 30 others still in Gaza. But politically, Netanyahu depends on far-right members of his governing coalition who have been pressing for a resumption of fighting, with the goal of fully defeating Hamas.

Protests were initially called for Wednesday after Netanyahu announced that he was moving to dismiss Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, citing a lack of personal trust between them. That has raised public concerns that future appointments may be based on loyalty.
But Hamas has so far refused those terms, and Israel has made clear that it will not allow for a ceasefire without more hostage releases.
As with Gaza, the Trump administration appears unlikely to take Netanyahu to task for domestic moves.
After the Shin Bet head is removed, prominent members of Netanyahu’s government have made clear, the next target is the attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara, who has frequently clashed with the government. A Cabinet vote late Tuesday to reinstate Itamar Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist, as Israel’s minister of national security flouted a legal opinion by Baharav-Miara that he should not be reappointed to that role.

Protesters closed down the main highway into Jerusalem during the morning hours as they marched into the city in scenes reminiscent of social and political upheaval that roiled the country in the months before the war over government plans to curb the powers of the judiciary. At the time, Israeli security chiefs and experts said the internal strife had contributed to Israel’s vulnerability and encouraged its enemies.
The centrist leader of Israel’s parliamentary opposition, Yair Lapid, called on people to join the protests in a social media post Wednesday morning.

Some Israelis are wary of the Trump administration, which pushed Netanyahu to approve the first part of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal but seems to have given him free rein since then.
“It looks great, really having President Trump on our side,” said Mitchell Barak, an Israeli pollster and analyst who worked as an aide to Netanyahu in the 1990s. But he called it a double-edged sword. If Trump changes his mind, he said, Netanyahu will have no choice and “will have to do what Trump says, whether he likes it or not.”
Louise Geva, 76, a protester from a village in central Israel, said she was thankful to Trump for pressuring Netanyahu into making the original agreement with Hamas that resulted in the release of more than two dozen hostages.
But Trump is “unpredictable,” she said, “and shouldn’t be the one we pin our hopes on.”
Parents of student missing in the Dominican Republic believe she drowned
By AIMEE ORTIZ
The parents of Sudiksha Konanki, the 20-year-old college student who went missing during a spring break trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, said they had come to terms with the possibility that she had drowned, and asked for privacy to mourn her, according to officials and a statement to the media earlier this week.
Their sorrowful statement came more than a week after her disappearance on March 6 grabbed headlines around the world, and led to repeated questioning of the last person seen with her.
“Sudiksha’s family has expressed their belief that she drowned,” the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia said in a statement Tuesday. “While a final decision to make such a declaration rests with authorities in the Dominican Republic, we will support the Konanki family in every way possible” while continuing to review the evidence, the office said.
In a tearful Fox 5 DC video shared online, Konanki’s father said that they had accepted “that our daughter has drowned” and that this conclusion was “incredibly difficult for us to process.” Her mother sobbed as he read the statement. They also asked for “time and privacy to focus on healing” and their family, NBC4 Washington reported.
Konanki, a University of Pittsburgh
student from Loudoun County was last seen nearly two weeks ago. She was spotted in the early morning hours of March 6 at a beach in Punta Cana with an unnamed friend who was “under investigation,” according to the authorities in the Dominican Republic.
The man, who was not named by The New York Times because he had not been charged with a crime, was present at a court hearing in the Dominican city of Higüey on Tuesday, but the outcome of the proceeding had not yet been disclosed by the authorities.
During the proceeding, the judge granted the man’s request to be able to move about freely and without police supervision.
Konanki stayed at the Hotel Riu Republica in Punta Cana with five friends after arriving in the Dominican Republic on March 3, the police said. Her disappearance sparked a massive search in the Caribbean nation, which is heavily dependent on foreign tourism.
When the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic alerted the national police that Konanki had disappeared, officials began an exhaustive search of the beach and the surrounding area, using drones, helicopters, divers, boats, police dogs and other resources, the authorities said.
More than 300 agents have been searching for Konanki, the police said. The FBI has been assisting in the investigation, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
In a tearful video shared online, the father of Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old college student who went missing during a spring break trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, said that he and his wife had accepted “that our daughter has drowned” and that this conclusion was “incredibly difficult for us to process.” (X via @ABCWorldNews’s video Tweet)
I don’t believe a single word Trump and Putin say about Ukraine
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Ever since President Donald Trump returned to office and began trying to make good on his boast about ending the Ukraine war in days, thanks to his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, I’ve had this gnawing concern that something was lost in translation in the bromance between Vlad and Don.
When the interpreter tells Trump that Putin says he’s ready to do anything for “peace” in Ukraine, I’m pretty sure what Putin really said was he’s ready to do anything for a “piece” of Ukraine.
You know those homophones — they can really get you in a lot of trouble if you’re not listening carefully. Or if you’re only hearing what you want to hear.
The New York Times reported that in his 2 1/2-hour phone call with Trump on Tuesday, Putin agreed to halt strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, according to the Kremlin, but Putin made clear that he would not agree to the general 30-day ceasefire that the United States and Ukraine had agreed upon and proposed to Russia.
The Kremlin also said that Putin’s “key condition” for ending the conflict was a “complete cessation” of foreign military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine — in other words, stripping Ukraine naked of any ability to resist a full Russian takeover of Ukraine. More proof, if anyone needed it, that Putin is not, as Trump foolishly believed, looking for peace with Ukraine; he’s looking to own Ukraine.
All that said, you will pardon me, but I do not trust a single word that Trump and Putin say about their private conversations on Ukraine — including the words “and” and “the,” as writer Mary McCarthy famously said about the veracity of her rival Lillian Hellman. Because something has not smelled right from the start with this whole Trump-Putin deal-making on Ukraine. I just have too many unanswered questions. Let me count the ways.
For starters, it took Secretary of State Henry Kissinger over a month of intense shuttle diplomacy to produce the disengagement agreements between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Syria that ended the 1973 war — and all of those parties wanted a deal. Are you telling me that two meetings between Trump’s pal Steve Witkoff and Putin in Moscow and a couple of phone calls between Putin and Trump are enough to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine on reasonable terms for Kyiv?
Trump couldn’t sell a hotel that quickly — unless he was giving it away.
Wait, wait — unless he was giving it away. …
Lord, I hope that is not what we’re watching here. Message to Trump and Vice President JD Vance: If you sell out Ukraine to Putin, you will forever carry a mark of Cain on your foreheads as traitors to a core value that has animated U.S. foreign policy for 250 years — the defense of liberty against tyranny.
Our nation has never so brazenly sold out a country struggling to be free, which we and our allies had been supporting
Putin does not — “is what smart statecraft is all about,” Dennis Ross, the longtime Middle East adviser to U.S. presidents, told me.
There are sustainable ways to end a war and keep it ended and there are unsustainable ways. It all depends on the bottom line — and if our bottom line departs fundamentally from that of Ukraine’s and our allies’, I don’t think they are going to just roll over for the Trump-Putin bromance.
Putin wants a Ukraine with a government that is basically the same as his neighboring vassal Belarus, not a Ukraine that is independent like neighboring Poland — a free-market democracy anchored in the European Union.
What kind of Ukraine does Trump want? The Belorussian version or the Polish version?
for three years. If Trump and Vance do that, the mark of Cain will never wash off. They will go down in history as “Neville Trump” and “Benedict Vance.” Likewise Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and national security adviser Michael Waltz.
Why else am I suspicious? Because Trump keeps saying that all he wants to do is end “the killing” in Ukraine. I am with that. But the easiest and quickest way to end the killing would be for the side that started the killing, the side whose army invaded Ukraine for utterly fabricated reasons, to get out of Ukraine. Presto — killing over.
Putin needs to enlist Trump’s help only if he wants something more than an end to the killing. I get that Ukraine will have to cede something to Putin. The question is how much. I also get that the only way for Putin to get the extra-large slice that he wants and the postwar restrictions that he wants imposed on Ukraine — without more warfighting — is by enlisting Trump to get them for him.
Why else am I suspicious? Because Trump has left all our European allies on the sidelines when he negotiates with Putin. Excuse me, but our European allies have contributed billions of dollars in military equipment, economic aid and refugee assistance to Ukraine — more combined than the United States, which Trump lies about — and they have made clear that they are now ready to do even more to prevent Putin from overrunning Ukraine and coming for them next.
So why would Trump enter negotiations with Putin and not bring our best leverage — our allies — with him? And why would he visibly turn U.S. military and intelligence aid to Ukraine off and then on — after shamefully calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “a dictator”?
Sorry, that doesn’t smell right to me, either. What made Kissinger and Secretary of State James Baker particularly effective negotiators is that they knew how to leverage our allies to amplify U.S. power. Trump foolishly gives the back of his hand to our allies, while extending an open hand to Putin. That’s how you give up leverage.
Leveraging allies — the biggest asset that we have that
I have absolutely no doubt which one is in Ukraine’s interest, America’s interest and our European allies’ interest. The thing that gnaws at me is that I don’t know what Donald Trump thinks is in his personal interest — and that is all that matters now in Trump’s Washington.
Until it’s clear that Trump’s bottom line is what should be America’s bottom line — no formal surrendering of Ukrainian territory to Putin, but simply a ceasefire; no membership for Ukraine in NATO, but membership in the European Union; and an international peacekeeping force on the ground, backed up with intelligence and material support from the U.S. — color me very, very skeptical of every word Trump and Putin say on Ukraine — including “and” and “the.”

En San Juan, Puerto Rico, hoy 14 de marzo de 2025
The last time a dryly zany comedy from New Zealand involving fantastical shenanigans made me laugh this much, it was the original “What We Do in the Shadows.” Michael Duignan’s new film may not quite reach that level, but it is still very funny.
A former tennis pro who peaked at No. 347 in the world, Dutch (Benedict Wall) ends up with a limp after a hit and run. In his search for the Toyota Corolla that maimed him, he meets the mysterious Lyra (Florence Noble), who looks like she was kicked out of the Bene Gesserit from “Dune.” She informs Dutch of the existence of multiple dimensions (including “the avocado dimension”) and claims to have “psionic powers” that include telekinesis. “Could you use it to change the channels on a TV?,” he asks. “That’s what a remote control does,” Lyra responds. About 50 minutes into the film, Dutch does locate the Corolla’s driver, which is when “The Paragon” takes an even odder turn — because it is actually serious-minded — involving the consequences of roads taken, or not. If an accident hurting someone can have a beneficial effect on someone else, what is the net result? “The Paragon” is inventive and sneakily well written, but the real reason it works is because it has heart. (Stream it on Amazon Prime Video.)
‘The Silent Planet’
Setting a film in a desolate, empty world might have inspired some directors to go big with the vistas. Instead, Jeffrey St. Jules’ feature has a claustrophobically tight focus (though he does squeeze in good location shots of Newfoundland). Theodore (Elias Koteas) has been on his own for a long time, sentenced to working alone on a planet-size penal colony. During the day he mines ore that’s then sent to Earth; at night he watches sitcoms in his small habitat.
And then one day another convict, Niyya (Briana Middleton), arrives — Theodore has taken out the monitor in his chest so he’s thought to be dead, or almost there. They engage in a tense cohabitation, which has the benefit of revealing to the viewers why they were exiled in the first place. Niyya says she was framed for terrorism. As for Theodore ... well, it’s a little tricky because he can’t really tell the difference between facts and the stories he tells himself anymore. Whether something is fake or fiction, “it doesn’t really matter here,” Niyya says. But it does, very much so, because she and Theodore might share a crucial connection. “The Silent Planet” unspools like a slow, pensive, ultimately dangerous game of cat and mouse — it’s just hard to tell who is playing which role. (Rent or buy it on most major platforms.)
‘Hostile Dimensions’
Ash (Joma West) and Sam (Annabel Logan) are young filmmakers trying to rebound from what appears to have been a bad experience on a movie. So when they get their hands on found footage that appears to capture the disappearance of a woman named Emily (Josie Rogers) after she goes through a free-standing door, the pair smell potential. Especially after they manage to lug said door back home.
Watching Ash and Sam bumble their way through Graham Hughes’ “Hostile Dimensions” is like watching Bill and Ted simultaneously try to make a movie and locate a missing person. They consult a physicist (Paddy Kondracki), who comes up with such highly technical statements as “This could just be
creepypasta rubbish but ...” The best part of the movie is the multiple planes of existence that are revealed behind the various so-called wolf doors, including an empty amusement center called “Pandamonium.” After “Death of a Vlogger” (which featured much of the same cast), Hughes is starting to make a bit of a name for himself, if only in the microbudget dimension. (Stream it on Fandango at Home or the Roku Channel.)
‘Elevation’
The phenomenon of powerful creatures defeated, or at least slowed down, by seemingly innocuous things — common bacteria in “The War of the Worlds,” water in “Signs” — is not new in science fiction. The so-called Reapers that appear out of the blue to kill everybody on Earth in George Nolfi’s movie seem indestructible, but at least one thing prevents them from rampaging everywhere: For mysterious reasons, they don’t venture above 8,000 feet. This works out well for a mountainous state like Colorado, where small communities survive out of reach of the strange killing machines. Unfortunately, Will (Anthony Mackie) must leave his encampment and travel to a lower elevation to retrieve oxygen filters for his ailing young son. He’s accompanied by Nina (Morena Baccarin), a scientist trying to return to her old lab to test her theories about their opponents. As a skier, I’m definitely going to dig any scene in which people use a chair lift to escape their pursuers, but “Elevation” should please fans of B movies in general — it has the kind of oldfashioned efficiency that’s actually hard to pull off. The film ends with a glaring opening for a sequel, and I for one am ready for it. (Stream it on Max.)
‘With You in the Future’
Carlos (Michel Brown) and Elena (Sandra Echeverría) are on the brink of an acrimonious divorce when Cupid (Mauricio Barrientos) intervenes and sends them back to the 1990s, around the time of a fateful date at a Maná concert. The older couple goes to town trying to prevent its younger selves (played by Fernando Cattori and Mariané Cartas) from falling for each other, thus sparing them future distress. Would Carlos have been better off with the wealthy Cristina (Aminta Ireta)? Could Elena, who was in a band, have made it big if she hadn’t gotten married? But, of course, the pair also realize that they did have something good going on at first, and abruptly change course: Young Carlos and young Elena must get together!
Roberto Girault’s film, from Mexico, shares a major theme with the recent “My Old Ass”: Is something worth pursuing if, before heartbreak sets in, it brings genuine happiness? “With You in the Future” has fun with some of the consequences the older couple’s actions set in motion, including the fact that changing the course of events leads to changing yourself. And do you really want to do that? (Stream it on Amazon Prime Video.)

48 countries and 179 cities: Exploring the geography of Lionel Messi’s career
By CONOR O’NEILL / THE ATHLETIC
Inter Miami’s second-leg trip last week to face the Kingston-based Cavalier FC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup took Lionel Messi into uncharted territory: He had never played in Jamaica before.
Across 1,086 club and international matches in 48 countries and 179 cities, Messi had scored 852 goals. Yet this game was the first Caribbean stamp on his soccer-playing passport.
For a player who struggled with intense homesickness after leaving Rosario, Argentina, for Barcelona at 13, Messi has since enjoyed a career that has taken him across six continents. Before Miami’s match against Cavalier, Messi had played 873 matches in Europe, 114 in South America, 63 in North America, 29 in Asia, five in Africa and two in Oceania.
Completing the continental set with a match in Antarctica would be logistically challenging — though last month’s trip to Kansas City, played in 16-degree weather, was a suitable proxy for the ice-capped, largely uninhabited landmass.
From Melbourne, Australia, to Montreal, Messi has dazzled crowds across the globe, but his international travels got off to a shaky start. His first senior match outside Spain ended in a 2-0 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine, in December 2004.
Eight months later, he ventured beyond Barcelona
again for his Argentina debut, an international friendly against Hungary in Budapest, only to be sent off after just two minutes for an apparent elbow, a decision that left the distraught 18-year-old in tears.
Inevitably, things picked up.
Messi’s globe-trotting career truly took off in 2006. He scored his first goal outside Spain in an international friendly against Croatia in Basel, Switzerland. That summer, he opened his World Cup account in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and just a few months later, he netted his first away European club goal in a Champions League clash in Germany against Werder Bremen, a 1-1 draw that was just the beginning of his dominance on the continent’s biggest stage.
Unsurprisingly, Europe has been the playground for much of Messi’s success, with 778 appearances for Barcelona and 75 for Paris Saint-Germain. Over his time with both clubs, he scored 704 club goals in 21 countries and amassed 591 club wins, a dominance that delivered 12 domestic league titles.
Yet the crowning glory of Messi’s European club career lies in his four Champions League titles. These triumphs have come in countries where his win rate, by his own lofty standards, is relatively modest.
Aside from his first title, secured in his absence through injury in Paris against Arsenal in 2006, each of his other Champions League victories was won in a country where he has prevailed in fewer than half his matches.
Take Italy, where he has won just five of 15 matches — only three against Italian club sides. The other two victories sit at opposite ends of the significance scale: one, a Champions League final master class in 2009, in which his header sealed Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Manchester United in Rome; the other, a far more forgettable 2-0 international friendly win over Angola in Salerno.
England, too, holds mixed memories for Messi. He lifted another Champions League title there in 2011, scoring in Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Wembley — one of nine goals he has scored on English soil.
Yet for all his successes, a night in Liverpool in 2019 may have marked the nadir of his club career. After winning the first leg 3-0, Barcelona collapsed in its return fixture, suffering a 4-0 defeat at Anfield that remains one of the most stunning turnarounds in Champions League history.
Messi’s final Champions League triumph came in Berlin, where Barcelona defeated Juventus 3-1 in the 2015 final. Over his career, he has played in nine German cities — Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Munich, Bremen, Stuttgart, Leverkusen, Berlin and Dort-
Argentina midfielder Lionel Messi (10) goes down on a tackle that resulted in his taking a penalty kick during the first half against Chile in the Copa America final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., June 26, 2016. Before a recent CONCACAF Champions Cup match in Jamaica with his current club team, Inter Miami, Messi had played 873 matches in Europe, 114 in South America, 63 in North America, 29 in Asia, five in Africa and two in Oceania.

mund. Despite his extensive travels in Germany, he has never won an away match against Bayern Munich. Bayern also handed him the heaviest defeat of his career, a humiliating 8-2 loss in Lisbon, as the 2019-20 Champions League was relocated because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite his storied and dizzyingly successful European club career, Messi’s greatest hour came in the blue and white of Argentina, when, in December 2022, he finally lifted the World Cup, triumphing over France in a dramatic penalty shootout in Lusail, Qatar.
Argentina has long recognized Messi’s value, and it charges accordingly. The going rate for a friendly featuring its captain is believed to be $5 million, a price that has taken him to myriad spots. Over the years, Messi has played international friendlies in Australia, Bangladesh, China, England, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
Messi has had no trouble adapting to the United States: His MLS career has been a roaring success so far. He is back to scoring almost a goal a game again, and his Inter Miami career has included games in 17 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
He did not start Miami’s match in Jamaica, but he subbed into the game in the 53rd minute, to a thunderous ovation. On one of the final touches of the game, he scored off a through ball from Santiago Morales. The clinical finish sent the entire stadium into roars, with chants of “Messi! Messi!” filling the air.
After the final whistle blew, Messi was mobbed by opposing players. Only one asked him for his shirt; the rest just wanted a selfie.
