TEGUCIGALPA/GUATEMALA CITY - A Guatemalan presidential hopeful known for taking on high-profile corruption cases as attorney general said on Thursday she was detained at an airport in Honduras before abruptly leaving the country shortly afterward.
Aldana said in a post on her Twitter page she was “arbitrarily detained” in Honduras and lashed out at what she dubbed a “pact of the corrupt” in which she included Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. A Guatemalan judge issued a warrant for Aldana’s arrest last month on charges including embezzlement and tax fraud.
Aldana led the field of presidential candidates with 28 percent in a recent poll before the June 16 election, ahead of Zury Rios, the daughter of former dictator Efrain Rios Montt, and former First Lady Sandra Torres.

Adelanto cuts ties to troubled ICE detention center — and removes a layer of oversightAdelanto city officials are parting ways with the federal government and a private prison company, ending the high desert city’s role in overseeing the management of California’s largest immigrant detention facility. Prison should not be privatized. If the state or feds want to lock someone then they should be responsible for that prisoner. Not a for profit prison.

Opinion | The U.S. must stand up to Erdogan and his politically motivated detentionsSerkan Golge’s wrongful imprisonment at the hands of the Turkish government cannot stand. Turkish police have also used false terrorism charges to detain three longtime Turkish employees of U.S. consulates. We put kids in cages.. I doubt Trump will tweet anything about this. We have ~95 nuclear gravity bombs at our base in Kirkuk, and he cut the power off. We didn't do anything then....so don't hold your breath. Yes! It must stand up to other regimes, even though it engages in the same - or worse - practices. Not to lecture other countries is just UnAmerican!
