RoboCop, el héroe de Detroit, finalmente tiene su estatua en la Ciudad Motor
Por COREY WILLIAMS y MIKE HOUSEHOLDER
DETROIT (AP) — RoboCop finalmente ha encontrado un hogar permanente en Detroit.
Una estatua de 3,3 metros (11 pies) de altura y 1.587 kilogramos (3.500 libras) ha estado atrayendo a los fanáticos desde que comenzó a vigilar la Ciudad Motor el miércoles por la tarde, después de un proceso de unos 15 años.
Incluso en medio de una tormenta de nieve, las personas conducían frente a ella para dar un vistazo, señaló Jim Toscano, copropietario de la compañía de producción cinematográfica FREE AGE, donde la estatua de bronce se encuentra anclada cerca de la acera.
“RoboCop” llegó a los cines en 1987, y la película retrataba a una ciudad futurista de Detroit que estaba plagada por la delincuencia gracias a la deficiente protección de una fuerza policial superada en números y armamento. Entonces apareció RoboCop –interpretado por Peter Weller– un cyborg casi invencible, creado por una corporación empeñada en privatizar a la policía.
Hubo un tiempo en que Detroit rechazaba cualquier cosa que hiciera referencia a su antigua reputación como una ciudad insegura, y la película –con todo su éxito, un culto de seguidores, dos secuelas y un reboot– no ayudó a su imagen.
Pero las cosas han cambiado. Los niveles de crímenes violentos han estado disminuyendo durante años. Las cifras de homicidios han caído por debajo de los niveles de mediados de la década de 1960. Y los funcionarios de la ciudad no se opusieron a la estatua, dijo Toscano.
“Creo que habrá mucha más aceptación”, señaló. “Detroit ha avanzado mucho. Añades un poco de nostalgia y eso ayuda”.
La campaña para colocar una estatua en la ciudad parece haber comenzado alrededor de 2010, cuando se mencionó al alcalde Dave Bing en un tuit en el que se hacía referencia a la estatua del boxeador Rocky Balboa en Filadelfia y decía que RoboCop sería un “Gran embajador para Detroit”.
Bing respondió, diciendo que no había planes para algo así. Pero algunos habitantes de Detroit mantuvieron viva la idea, llevando a cabo una colecta a través de Kickstarter en 2012, la cual recaudó más de 67.000 dólares de más de 2.700 donantes en todo el mundo. Entonces, el escultor de Detroit Giorgio Gikas terminó la estatua en 2017.
Luego, el plan quedó estancado, y la estatua almacenada fuera de la vista del público.
El Centro de Ciencias de Michigan finalmente canceló sus planes para albergar la escultura en 2021, argumentando las presiones de la pandemia de coronavirus y la necesidad de redirigir los recursos del museo.
Funcionarios en Stevens Point, Wisconsin levantaron la mano con la esperanza de honrar a Weller, nativo de esa ciudad, y colocar la estatua fuera de la estación de policía o en un parque.
La búsqueda de un hogar adecuado para RoboCop permaneció en el limbo hasta hace unos tres años, cuando la compañía de Toscano compró un edificio en el distrito comercial de Eastern Market. Cuando fue contactado por el creador de la idea de la estatua y los funcionarios de Eastern Market, Toscano afirma que pensó que estaban “bromeando”.
Pero él y su socio comercial se sumaron a la campaña con gusto: “Es demasiado inusual, demasiado único, demasiado genial para no hacerlo”, dijo Toscano.
Toscano, de 48 años, señala que sólo ha visto la primera película de “RoboCop”.
“No era una de las películas predilectas en nuestra casa”, admitió. Pero si hay una línea icónica del filme que encaja con este momento, Toscano dijo que sería “Gracias por su cooperación”.
James Campbell se acercó el jueves a la estatua y le dijo a tres personas que se tomaban fotos: “Soy el dueño de esto. ¿Lo sabían?”.
Campbell dijo que donó 100 dólares a la campaña original de Kickstarter hace más de una década, lo que lo convierte en “propietario del .038% de esta estatua”.
“Estoy aquí para ver esta enorme y hermosa obra de arte en bronce”, dijo. “Vaya pedazo de la historia cinematográfica para representar a la ciudad de Detroit”.
Cuando se le preguntó por qué RoboCop es un símbolo apropiado para la ciudad, Campbell dijo: “¡Es un cyborg que combate el crimen! En la película, en el Detroit futurista, está allí para salvar a la ciudad. Es un símbolo de esperanza”.

Corte Suprema de EEUU permite a Texas usar un mapa electoral favorable a republicanos en 2026
WASHINGTON (AP) — La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos salió el jueves al rescate de los republicanos de Texas, permitiendo que las elecciones del próximo año se realicen de acuerdo con el plan de redistribución de distritos legislativos del estado, el cual es favorable al Partido Republicano y fue promovido por el presidente Donald Trump, a pesar de un fallo de un tribunal inferior que indicaba que el mapa probablemente discrimina por motivos de raza.
Los jueces actuaron ante una solicitud de emergencia de Texas para una decisión rápida, ya que el proceso de inscripción en los nuevos distritos ya ha comenzado, y hay elecciones primarias programadas para marzo.
La orden de la Corte Suprema suspende el fallo de 2-1 que bloquea el mapa, al menos hasta que el máximo tribunal emita una decisión final en el caso. El juez Samuel Alito había bloqueado temporalmente la orden mientras la corte completa consideraba la apelación de Texas.
Los jueces han bloqueado fallos anteriores de tribunales inferiores en casos de redistribución de distritos legislativos, más recientemente en Alabama y Luisiana, que se presentaron varios meses antes de las elecciones.
El mapa legislativo de Texas promulgado a mediados de año a instancias de Trump fue diseñado para dar a los republicanos cinco escaños adicionales en la Cámara de Representantes.
El intento de preservar una escasa mayoría republicana en la Cámara de Representantes en las elecciones del próximo año desató una batalla nacional por la redistribución de distritos.

Boston Judge (Again) Intervenes To Force Payments To Planned Parenthood
Boston Judge (Again) Intervenes To Force Payments To Planned Parenthood
District Court Judge Indira Talwani in Boston has been one of the most active judges in the country in seeking to enjoin the orders of President Donald Trump, including her orders to prevent deportations under previously “paroled” immigrants under the Biden Administration. She previously sought to enjoin the denial of federal funds to Planned Parenthood, an order that the United States Court of Appeals lifted for the First Circuit pending appeal. Now, Judge Talwani is back with a new basis for forcing payments to Planned Parenthood despite Congress barring Medicaid funds under the Big Beautiful Bill.
Planned Parenthood is facing a financial meltdown without the federal funding and is closing offices after the passage of the BBB.
Judge Talwani previously halted the cessation of federal funding on the basis that the action was an effort to punish Planned Parenthood for offering abortion services.
She wrote the law likely violates the Constitution’s “bill of attainder clause,” which prohibits Congress and state legislatures from imposing punishments on individuals or specific entities without trial. As lead counsel in the Foretich case (one of the few successful modern bill of attainder cases), I was highly skeptical of the chances of Talwani’s earlier opinion being upheld.
In the new 45-page opinion, Judge Talwani now says that the ban contained in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act “does not furnish states with clear notice as to the meaning and application of [the provision’s] criteria” for denying funding.
However, the law applies to any health care provider providing abortions as of October 1 and receives more than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in a year. The Justice Department argued that “The elected Branches determined that taxpayer funds should not be used to subsidize certain entities that practice abortion – conduct that many Americans find morally abhorrent.”
The opinion, in my view, is flawed and (again) stretches existing precedent to the breaking point. Congress clearly has the power to place this condition on federal funding and was clear on the application of that condition.
Section 71113 was enacted on July 4, 2025, and provides that “[n]o Federal funds that are . . . provided to carry out a State [Medicaid plan] . . . shall be used to make payments to a prohibited entity for items and services furnished during the 1-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act[.]” Pub. L. No. 119-21, § 71113(a), 139 Stat. 72, 300-01 (July 4, 2025).
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) further provided the following notice and guidance:
States must ensure their managed care programs comply with section 71113 and applicable requirements under 42 CFR Part 438. States and their actuaries should evaluate whether implementation of section 71113 necessitates adjustments to Medicaid capitation rate development or constitutes a material adjustment requiring an amended rate certification. Additionally, states should review any [state directed payments (“SDPs”)] to determine whether revisions are required and how such SDPs are accounted for in capitation rate development and rate certifications.States must also ensure that all Medicaid managed care contracts comply with all applicable federal and state laws, including Section 71113 of WFTC legislation.[8] To ensure clarity, states should assess if their managed care contracts should be revised to detail the requirements of section 71113. For example, states may wish to specify in their managed care contracts that payments to prohibited entities are not allowable expenditures of Federal funds under section 71113(a), and that any expenditures to such entities made by [covered organizations] are not eligible for [federal financial participation].
The CMS told the states that if it “has already claimed or has drawn down FFP on or after July 4, 2025 for payments to entities identified as prohibited entities as of October 1, 2025, it should promptly withdraw or correct the claim, or return FFP, as required by applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.”
In my view, the court tries too hard (as it did on the attainder opinion) to protect this funding. We will have to see if the First Circuit and the Supreme Court agree with that assessment.
Here is the opinion: Planned Parenthood decision

Supreme Court allows Texas to use a congressional map favorable to Republicans in 2026
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday came to the rescue of Texas Republicans, allowing next year’s elections to be held under the state’s congressional redistricting plan favorable to the GOP and pushed by President Donald Trump despite a lower-court ruling that the map likely discriminates on the basis of race.
The justices acted on an emergency request from Texas for quick action because qualifying in the new districts already has begun, with primary elections in March.
The Supreme Court’s order puts the 2-1 ruling blocking the map on hold at least until after the high court issues a final decision in the case. Justice Samuel Alito had previously temporarily blocked the order while the full court considered the Texas appeal.
The justices have blocked past lower-court rulings in congressional redistricting cases, most recently in Alabama and Louisiana, that came several months before elections.
The Texas congressional map enacted last summer at Trump’s urging was engineered to give Republicans five additional House seats.
The effort to preserve a slim Republican majority in the House in next year’s elections touched off a nationwide redistricting battle.
Texas was the first state to meet Trump’s demands in what has become an expanding national battle over redistricting. Republicans drew the state’s new map to give the GOP five additional seats, and Missouri and North Carolina followed with new maps adding an additional Republican seat each. To counter those moves, California voters approved a ballot initiative to give Democrats an additional five seats there.
The redrawn maps are facing court challenges in California and Missouri. A three-judge panel allowed the new North Carolina map to be used in the 2026 elections.
The Trump administration is suing to block the new California maps, but it called for the Supreme Court to keep the redrawn Texas districts in place.
The justices are separately considering a case from Louisiana that could further limit race-based districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It’s unclear how the current round of redistricting would be affected by the outcome in the Louisiana case.
In the Texas case, U.S. District Judges Jeffrey V. Brown and David Guaderrama concluded that the redistricting plan likely dilutes the political power of Black and Latino voters in violation of the Constitution. Trump appointed Brown in his first term while President Barack Obama, a Democrat, appointed Guaderrama.
“To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map,” Brown wrote. “But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.”
The majority opinion provoked a vituperative dissent from Judge Jerry Smith, an appeals court judge on the panel.
Smith accused Brown of “pernicious judicial misbehavior” for not giving Smith sufficient time before issuing the majority opinion. Smith, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, also disagreed strenuously with the substance of the opinion, saying it would be a candidate for the “Nobel Prize for Fiction,” if there were such an award.
“The main winners from Judge Brown’s opinion are George Soros and Gavin Newsom,” Smith wrote, referring to the liberal megadonor and California’s Democratic governor. “The obvious losers are the People of Texas and the Rule of Law.”

Chicago Tribune sues Perplexity AI for copyright infringement
The Chicago Tribune filed a copyright infringement lawsuit Thursday in New York federal court against Perplexity AI, alleging the California-based startup has been unlawfully profiting off the newspaper’s content in building its AI-driven search engine.
The complaint challenges the unauthorized use of often fully reproduced Tribune reporting to provide answers on the Perplexity AI platforms – both a chatbot and newly launched search engine – essentially bypassing the need to link to the newspaper’s website.
Using large chunks of the Tribune’s original reporting – sometimes inaccurately – diverts traffic away from the newspaper’s website, threatening its business model of paid subscriptions and advertising, the lawsuit alleges.
“Perplexity’s GenAI Products generate outputs that are identical or substantially similar to the Chicago Tribune’s content,” the lawsuit states. “Upon information and belief, Perplexity has unlawfully copied millions of copyrighted Chicago Tribune stories, videos, images, and other works to power its products and tools.”
A spokesperson for Perplexity AI did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Founded in 2022, Perplexity AI is a generative artificial intelligence company that bills itself as the “world’s first answer engine,” with a chatbot delivering complete responses that in many cases obviate the need to go to the source link for more information.
In August, Perplexity made an unsolicited $34.5 billion offer to buy Google’s Chrome browser. Perplexity launched its own Comet browser broadly in October, which like its chatbot, offers full results from sources like the Tribune, encouraging users to bypass the newspaper’s site.
Until recently, Perplexity actually used the phrase “skip the links” as a sales pitch for its AI products, according to the lawsuit.
“By copying the Chicago Tribune’s copyrighted content and using it to create substitutive output derived from its works, obviating the need for users to visit the Chicago Tribune’s website or purchase its newspaper, Perplexity is misappropriating substantial subscription, advertising, licensing, and affiliate revenue opportunities that belong rightfully and exclusively to the Chicago Tribune,” the lawsuit states.
In addition to lifting content verbatim, like many AI platforms, Perplexity is also prone to “hallucinations,” creating inaccurate results and attributing them to the Tribune, which the lawsuit alleges is likely to tarnish the newspaper’s brand and cause “serious damage to its worldwide reputation” as a truthful and accurate news source.
“The Perplexity business model is based on the theft of journalism created by real live journalists at the Chicago Tribune and other publications,” Mitch Pugh, executive editor of the Tribune, said in a statement. “These journalists work each day to serve the public interest, seeking justice and holding power accountable often at great personal and institutional risk. Any accurate information that Perplexity provides to users is based entirely on this work. It is stealing, plain and simple.
“To make matters worse, too often bad information is provided to users and falsely attributed to trusted news publishers like the Tribune. All of us need to seriously examine the ways in which companies like Perplexity are lining their pockets and what public good this unabashed plundering can possibly serve.”
While Perplexity’s “answer engine” AI platform threatens the newspaper’s business model, it has quickly gained traction on the backs of the Tribune and other news sources, according to the lawsuit, achieving a $20 billion valuation and more than 100 million generative search results each week.
The copyright infringement lawsuit against Perplexity is just the latest brought by legacy media against AI companies, including related legal actions by a coalition of 17 newspapers owned or operated by MediaNews Group and Tribune Publishing.
The Chicago Tribune and seven other newspapers filed a lawsuit last year against OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly using articles “without permission and without payment” to drive their generative artificial intelligence programs. A second lawsuit on behalf of nine more MediaNews Group and Tribune publications was filed last month.
Both cases are ongoing in a New York federal court.
“OpenAI and Microsoft have built their AI products and models on a massive foundation of stolen material,” Frank Pine, executive editor of MediaNews Group, said in a statement. “Even worse, their products are undercutting the business model for news by paraphrasing, plagiarizing and outright regurgitating the news content they have stolen and continue to steal. They must be held to account and forced to pay for news and information they use.”
The Tribune lawsuit against Perplexity alleges three counts of copyright infringement, one count of false designation and trademark dilution, and one count of trademark infringement. It is seeking undisclosed damages and a permanent injunction preventing Perplexity from engaging in the unlawful use of the newspaper’s content.

Cue The Liberal Meltdown: State Dept. Renames Institute Of Peace
Cue The Liberal Meltdown: State Dept. Renames Institute Of Peace
The U.S. Institute of Peace – a federally funded think tank created by Congress in 1984 and temporarily dismantled by the Trump administration and DOGE after refusing oversight, deleting financial records, and being indirectly linked to money flows reaching Taliban terror networks – has now been officially rebranded the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace,” per a State Department post on X.
“This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history. Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The best is yet to come,” the State Department wrote on X.

Later today, President Trump is set to hold a peace-deal ceremony at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace with Presidents Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda. The two countries are expected to sign a peace agreement.
With the Institute of Peace largely wound down this year, the Trump administration has ended eight wars. Officials are now discussing a potential peace deal with Russia to end the nearly four-year meat grinder in Eastern Europe.

Lazio vence al AC Milan con polémica y enfrentará a Bolonia en cuartos de la Copa de Italia
BOLOGNA, Italia (AP) — Bologna, campeón defensor de la Copa de Italia, enfrentará a la Lazio en los cuartos de final de la Copa después de que ambos ganaran el jueves sus respectivos partidos de octavos de final.
Bologna remontó para arrebatar una victoria por 2-1 sobre Parma, mientras que la Lazio eliminó al AC Milan con una victoria 1-0.
El partido de Bologna parecía dirigirse a los penales antes de que el suplente Santiago Castro cabeceara un centro de Emil Holm a los 89 minutos.
El Parma, que está peleando por la permanencia en la Serie A, había tomado una ventaja sorpresa a los 13 minutos cuando Adrian Benedyczak recibió un pase filtrado de Mathias Løvik y superó a Federico Ravaglia.
Pero el Bologna, que ganó la competición por primera vez en 52 años la temporada pasada, igualó poco antes del descanso. Jonathan Rowe golpeó el poste con su primer intento, pero el extremo inglés controló el rebote y lo envió al fondo de la red para su primera anotación desde que se unió a Bologna en agosto.
Hubo otra nota positiva para Bologna cuando Ciro Immobile entró como suplente tardío para su primera aparición desde que se lesionó el muslo en agosto.
Controversia en Roma
La Lazio anotó el único gol del partido con un tiro de esquina que probablemente no debería haberse concedido.
El defensor del Milan, Pervis Estupiñán, despejó un tiro libre de cabeza y el balón pareció golpear a Alessio Romagnoli de la Lazio antes de salir del campo, pero el árbitro concedió un tiro de esquina al equipo local.
Mattia Zaccagni quedó sin marca para cabecear al fondo de la red al 80.

Cook County property taxpayers get another shot at appeals
Citing this year’s record property tax hikes, the Cook County Board of Review is giving taxpayers another brief shot at knocking down their bills for next year.
Every Cook County township will reopen for appeals to property tax assessments, the county’s estimate of a home or business’ value, through Dec. 12.
Successful appeals won’t offer any immediate relief on the bills that just landed, however. Any savings would apply to next year’s second installment bills, which typically land in the summer. People who already appealed aren’t eligible.
Taxpayers will have through Dec. 22 to submit accompanying evidence. Filing is free. It can be completed online, in-person at the county building or at one of a series of upcoming Board of Review events. Homeowner appeals do not require an attorney.
The latest round of tax bills, due Dec. 15, doubled for many South and West side homeowners, but fell for big commercial Loop buildings. The bills’ arrival has fueled finger-pointing on the Chicago City Council and among county candidates who face primary voters in March.
All three commissioners on the board — two of whom are up for reelection — used a Thursday news conference to announce the additional appeal time to criticize Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi, who set the initial values of Chicago properties last year that ended up on this year’s bills.
Commissioner Larry Rogers, a Kaegi adversary, said the assessor should issue mass corrections — called certificates of error — for neighborhoods such as North Lawndale and Englewood that saw significant assessment hikes. Those neighborhoods are also the least likely to appeal, a recent study from the county treasurer showed.
“Fritz Kaegi, with the stroke of a pen, can correct those valuations” by issuing those certificates, Rogers said, pointing to prior adjustments Kaegi made to assessments during the pandemic and in floodplain areas.
Kaegi spokesman Christian Belanger pointed the finger back at the board, saying their downward adjustment to commercial properties were the reason areas such as North Lawndale and Englewood saw “unfair and unjust” bills. The floodplain and COVID-19 adjustments were made long before bills came out, not retroactively.
“Moreover, Illinois lacks a circuit breaker-type program to protect homeowners against sudden property tax spikes, which is why Assessor Kaegi has worked with legislators to file a bill in Springfield that would protect against these spikes,” the statement continued.
The assessor has so far failed to win approval of his circuit-breaker idea, which he hopes the state would fund. Kaegi’s office does plan to hold events on the South and West sides next week for taxpayers that believe there were errors such as incorrect square footage, property classifications or missing exemptions.
The time it will take to get through another appeals window might contribute to bill delays next year, officials acknowledged. But they argued the county’s upgrade with Tyler Technologies already set the property tax offices back “two or three” cycles. The next round of bills — equal to 55% of this year’s total — are slated to be due in April.

Man United desperdicia oportunidad de subir a los cinco primeros de la Liga Premier
Por JAMES ROBSON
MANCHESTER, Inglaterra (AP) — Manchester United desperdició la oportunidad de escalar al quinto lugar en la Liga Premier después de permitir que West Ham rescató el jueves el empate 1-1 en Old Trafford.
El gol del empate de Soungoutou Magassa a los 83 minutos estropeó un triunfo que hubiera dejado al United igualar en puntos a Chelsea, que ocupa el cuarto lugar. Diogo Dalot había adelantado al United a los 58.
Bruno Fernandes desperdició dos oportunidades para marcar el gol de la victoria en el tiempo añadido, pero remató desviado en ambas.
Fue otro tropiezo para el United: apenas una victoria en sus últimos cinco partidos, incluyendo tres empates.
A pesar de esa racha, el equipo de Ruben Amorim podría haberse acercado a los puestos de la Liga de Campeones con una victoria. Y eso parecía probable cuando Dalot dominó en el área un balón colgado desde lejos por Casemiro.
El defensor del United giró y definió potente disparo para batir al arquero Alphonse Areola.
Fue un partido con pocas oportunidades. West Ham insinuó poco. Noussair Mazraoui despejó en la línea el cabezazo de Jarrod Bowen tras un tiro de esquina.
Magassa reaccionó más rápido en el área y remató rasante al ángulo para desatar las celebraciones de los aficionados visitantes.
El resultado dejó al United en el octavo lugar y al West Ham en el 18

Absuelven a diez defensores indígenas por supuestamente retener a personal de una mina en Guatemala
Associated Press
CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA (AP) — Un tribunal guatemalteco absolvió el jueves a diez defensores indígenas que eran juzgados por supuestamente retener a personal de una mina en medio de una protesta en rechazo a esa actividad en un departamento al este del país.
Los defensores son autoridades indígenas mayas Ch´orti´del municipio de Olopa en el departamento de Chiquimula.
Bernardino Pérez, Juan Agustín, Santos Gerónimo Ramos Méndez, Rosa Margarita Pérez Canán, María Santos Méndez, Felipe Díaz Ramos, Juan Carlos Pérez Canan, Leonor Crisóstomo Méndez de Ramos, Guillermo Ramírez Pérez y Fredy Geovani Ramírez Ramírez quedaron libres luego que la fiscalía no pudo probar las acusaciones en su contra iniciadas en 2021 por el presunto delito de detención ilegal tras una denuncia presentada por los dueños de la mina y cantera Los Manantiales.
Los hechos se remontan a 2019 cuando se produjeron protestas en contra de la operación de la mina dentro de los territorios y denuncias de los pobladores sobre que la actividad contaminaba sus tierras y ríos.
La mina fue autorizada para operar en 2012 con el fin de extraer antimonio, un metaloide semimetálico, plateado, que se usa para aleaciones y se emplea en la industria para fabricar retardantes de llama, cerámicas, pinturas y fuegos artificiales, entre otros. Las comunidades denunciaron que nunca se les consultó, como lo ordena la ley y el Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) sobre consulta a las comunidades para industria extractiva.
Antes del fallo absolutorio otros pobladores habían enfrentado otro proceso judicial en su contra, en 2016, por supuestos delitos de lesión en riña, allanamiento, amenazas e incendio agravado, en medio de la oposición a la mina. El proceso no avanzó y fue cerrado.
