July 6: GOP renews calls for US troops in Mexico. UPS, Teamsters inch toward strike.

Good morning! It’s Thursday July 6, 2023. Here’s a look at your news across the nation:

1. Republicans propose using U.S. military to shut down Mexican cartels

Unwittingly, migrants in Latin America finance disinformation during their journeys to the U.S., as they fall victim to fraud that can cost them thousands of dollars and that in turn has served to develop new business models, from fake work recruiters to those who call themselves “migration coaches.” (AP Photo/Marco Ugarte, File)
