Quick Glance: Ecuadorean President Noboa seeks support for security measures in upcoming vote
  • Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa is aiming for voter support for a range of security measures in a national referendum on Sunday to address the increasing violence that has garnered international attention.

  • Noboa is urging voters to support joint police-military patrols, the extradition of wanted criminals, longer sentences for terrorism and murder, and other crimes to combat the rising violence attributed to drug gangs.

  • Opinion polls suggest that voters are likely to support Noboa, 36, in the 11-question referendum, despite potential dampening of support due to recent power outages. Passing five of the measures would lead to constitutional modifications.

  • Over the past decade, cocaine-smuggling gangs have spread across every corner of Latin America, transforming once peaceful nations like Ecuador into new battlefields, as indicated by security officials and diplomats.

Quick Glance: US Supreme Court discusses Trump's Immunity
  • Conservative US Supreme Court justices signal sympathy for the argument that presidents have some immunity against criminal charges for certain actions taken in office.

  • Former President Donald Trump appealed after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges.

  • The Supreme Court hearing could distort the presidency without immunity and affect decision-making when bold and fearless action is most needed.

  • The Supreme Court's decision on immunity is expected and could lead to Trump's trial occurring before the election.
