Pedro Urruchurtu spoke to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday about what he had endured at the hands of Nicols Maduros regime while being forced to shelter in place for over 400 days. Urruchurtu and four other members of Venezuelas political opposition were freed in May in a successful U.S. rescue mission.He and his colleagues were effectively trapped inside the Argentine Embassy in Caracas where the opposition members fled to, and were sheltered due to the diplomatic status of the embassy.The opposition figures were under siege by regime forces who made their lives extremely difficult due to their control of the utilities. Urruchurtu told the council he had endured "five months without electricity, three minutes of water every ten days, rifles pointed at the windows, and dogs trained to bite; only because those in power considered it a crime to direct the campaigns of Maria Corina Machado in the opposition primaries and Edmundo Gonzlez in the presidential elections. Both won."OPINION: AMERICA NEEDS A VENEZUELA DEAL THAT ONLY PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN DELIVER"Today I am here despite the state, and not thanks to it, because if it were up to it, I would be missing or dead," Urruchurtu said.United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Trk told the council that since May 1, 2024, the human rights situation in Venezuela has only gotten worse. The people have experienced "arbitrary detentions, violations of due process and enforced disappearances, amid continued allegations of torture and ill-treatment."Trk revealed that his office had documented 32 people 15 of them adolescents who reported being tortured and ill-treated in detention. He also noted that 28 people had been subjected to enforced disappearance after the countrys parliamentary elections, which took place in May 2025. He said their whereabouts remain unknown and that at least 12 of them were foreign nationals who "do not have access to consular assistance."VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION PROMISES REPARATIONS TO LAKEN RILEYS FAMILY, OTHER VICTIMS OF TREN DE ARAGUA VIOLENCE"The world must no longer look away from the brutal reality of what the once-beautiful Venezuela has become. Nicols Maduro and his enforcers are running a criminal narco-terrorist dictatorship that jails political opponents, tortures dissidents, and crushes any hope of free expression. Pedros voice today represents the cries of thousands of Venezuelans who remain imprisoned, persecuted or forced into exile, as slaves to the regime," UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer told Fox News Digital.Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in a post on X on May 6 that the opposition members, including Urruchurtu, had been rescued in "a precise operation" and brought to the U.S. A few weeks later, Rubio met with the released opposition members. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that Rubio had commended the Venezuelan opposition members for their "bravery in the face of Maduros relentless repression and tyranny."Neuer also expressed gratitude for the Trump administration and Rubios actions, which led to Urruchurtus release."Thank you to the Trump administration and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, for their critical role in securing Pedros release and the release of his comrades. Once again, proving that strong, principled diplomacy saves lives and advances the cause of freedom for the world," Neuer told Fox News Digital.

The city council in Rhode Island's capital is backing the distribution of "Know Your Rights" mailers to residents instructing them on how to deal with law enforcement amid the Trump administration's immigration enforcement.Households in Providence will receive a card in English and Spanish advising them of their constitutional rights if confronted by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).It instructs residents not to open the door unless officers present a valid warrant signed by a judge. The lower portion of the card can be cut, kept in a wallet, and presented to immigration enforcement, a news release announcing the campaign states.CAIR PANELIST ACCUSES TRUMP ADMIN OF USING AI AND ANTISEMITISM AGAINST FREE SPEECH"The Providence City Council is partnering with organizations that represent our diverse community to promote safety and inclusion in the face offear and uncertainty that pervades our citys immigrant communities due to the reckless cruelty of the Trump administration," Council President Rachel Miller said in a statement."For nearly 400 years, immigrants have been and continue to be vital to Providence," she added. "The Council stands together to say immigrants are welcome here and to encourage every member of our community to educate themselves about their constitutional rights and where to find help if they need it."BLUE CITY'S DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE PRINTS THOUSANDS OF 'RED CARDS' URGING IMMIGRANTS TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTSThe council worked with more than a dozen local immigrant rights and advocacy groups on the mailer. The city has spent $17,000 on the mailers, a spokesperson for the council told Fox News Digital.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Rhode Island Republican Party for comment.The mailers are in response to the Trump administration's illegal immigrant operations targeting those living in the United States illegally.Democrats have denounced the operations, arguing they separate families and put communities at risk. Los Angeles saw multiple days of riots earlier this month after ICE agents arrested multiple illegal immigrants, many with criminal records, during several operations in and around the city.Fox News' Brooke Taylorcontributed to this report.

Republicans in the House and Senate are anxiously watching whether President Donald Trump will take a more aggressive approach in corralling GOP lawmakers in favor of his "big, beautiful bill.""President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, isnt he? I think it's incumbent upon him to make sure everybody in the Senate understands that this is a signature piece of legislation that essentially 77 million Americans voted for," Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital.The Senate is working through a massive piece of legislation advancing Trump's agenda on tax, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt which the president has said he wants on his desk by the Fourth of July.Trump has been pushing Republicans on the bill in public, addressing it at back-to-back events on Thursday and Friday while also posting on his Truth Social platform.148 DEMOCRATS BACK NONCITIZEN VOTING IN DC AS GOP RAISES ALARM ABOUT FOREIGN AGENTSCongressional leaders have said they've been in near-constant contact with Trump or his White House staff about the legislation. Indeed, numerous White House officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Vice President JD Vance, to push Senate Republicans to stay on course.But some House Republicans want him to be as forceful as he was when their chamber passed the bill by just one vote in May. Trump summoned multiple groups of Republicans to the White House on several occasions in the lead-up to that vote, and even made a rare trip to Capitol Hill to gin up support within the House GOP.Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., told Fox News Digital that when the House was going through the motions of advancing the mammoth legislation, it "looked all but impossible" to get it across the finish line.But it was because of Trump, he said, that the bill succeeded."He's our closer in the bullpen right now," he said. "His arm is getting warmed up, and we'll bring him in here in the ninth inning, and he's going to throw heat. And so far, he's pitched a no-hitter."It's worth noting that several senators who have expressed concerns about the bill have spoken individually with Trump.But Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital showed varying degrees of enthusiasm when asked whether the president should repeat the intense involvement he had in the House.When asked by Fox News Digital whether its time for the president to get involved, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas., said, "That's up to the White House. Its up to the president."But Roy added, "I think the Senate needs to deliver, and I think the Senate ought to make good on the agreement that the majority leader had with us and with the speaker to work with us to achieve that level of spending cuts."Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Penn., said Trump is "always involved, so hell stay involved because we do want to get it done by July 4th."Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., said he was not being kept aware of how involved Trump was, but said the president's deal-making skills would likely be needed."I mean, I think its gonna take that type of horsepower to kind of bring everybody together," Fitzgerald said.But some Republicans in the upper chamber are resistant.NONCITIZEN LA RIOTERS COULD BE DEPORTED UNDER NEW HOUSE BILL"It doesn't matter what he says, of course not," Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. "I mean, I'm not voting for something unless I know what I'm voting on."Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., wouldnt say whether he believed that Trump should put a finger on the scales more. But he told Fox News Digital that he was appreciative of the effort that Thune and Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, had put into getting feedback from Senate Republicans, but said that at a certain point, lawmakers just needed to vote on the bill."We have cussed and discussed this bill for a long, long time, and at some point you move from careful, rational deliberation into the foothills of jackassery," Kennedy said. "And that's where we are now. It's time to vote. If people are unhappy, they can offer amendments."Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

Summer heat has swept the U.S., with warnings issued across the East Coast and Midwest.In addition to putting stress on the body, hot weather can also take a toll on the brain and mental health.Dr. Jace Reed, director of emergency psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, emphasized in an interview with Fox News Digital that the brain is a major organ that can be greatly affected by heat.AMERICANS TOLD TO AVOID COFFEE DURING EXTREME HEAT WARNING IN 3 STATESExtreme heat can cause mental health changes like increased irritability and anxiety, along with decreased memory, attention and reaction time.This can affect daily interactions socially and professionally, the expert cautioned."You may be slower at completing your task or remembering what someone just told you," he told Fox News Digital. "Those can be initial early signs that the heat is affecting your brain and your mental abilities."Symptoms like extreme confusion could mark the beginning of a heat stroke, which could require hospitalization, the psychiatrist warned.YOUR BRAIN PHYSICALLY CHANGES WHEN YOU WORK TOO MUCH, SCIENTISTS WARNIn a separate interview with Fox News Digital, Thea Gallagher, a doctor of psychology and director of wellness programs at NYU Langone Health, noted that when the body overheats, it struggles to regulate internal balance.This can lead to disrupted sleep, fatigue and poor concentration, as well as impaired cognitive function, slow reaction times and struggles with decision-making.The heat can also increase oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain, Gallagher added, which can potentially damage neurons, worsen existing neurological conditions and raise stroke risk."Heat exposure may trigger an inflammatory response in the brain," she said. "In cases like heatstroke, inflammation is believed to contribute to symptoms such as confusion and delirium."NEGATIVE THOUGHTS MIGHT BE CHANGING YOUR BRAIN IN SURPRISING WAYS, STUDY SUGGESTSExcessive heat can also weaken the protective blood-brain barrier, according to the expert, which makes the brain more vulnerable to toxins and pathogens.Higher temperatures are also associated with disturbances in mood and violent behavior, especially during prolonged heatwaves.Psychiatric emergency visits for anxiety, depression and substance use also rise significantly on the hottest days, Gallagher confirmed.Below are some of the main mental symptoms that can worsen in hot weather, experts cautioned.People who suffer from mental health conditions such as mood disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety or even dementia are more vulnerable in hot weather.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERSome psychiatric medications could make it difficult for the body to regulate temperature or stay hydrated, Gallagher noted, while heat can "intensify" symptoms like agitation or paranoia."People with cognitive impairments may not recognize the signs of overheating," she added."Some SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) can suppress sweat production, which is the bodys primary cooling mechanism. This raises the risk of overheating, dehydration and even heat stroke.""Paradoxically, SSRIs can also cause excessive sweating in some individuals a side effect known as SSRI sweats," she went on. "While this might seem like it would help with cooling, it can actually lead to dehydration if fluid intake doesnt keep up."The experts recommended the following practices to protect brain health in extreme heat.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Days are also longer and there are more activities, which can be exhausting," Gallagher noted. "Therefore, it is good to prioritize sleep and rest and [find] ways to slow down when you can."

Vice President JD Vance could deliver the tiebreaking vote in the U.S. Senate for President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful, bill" should it fail to receive enough support from Republican lawmakers.Republicans are scrambling to reform and pass the measure ahead of Trumps July 4 deadline after Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonoughs determination Thursday that several Medicaid reforms in the sweeping tax and domestic policy package did not follow Senate rules and must be removed.As president of the Senate, the vice president casts a tiebreaking vote when a measure fails to receive majority support.DEMS 'DELIBERATELY OBFUSCATING' TRUTH ABOUT 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' WITH THIS CLAIM: WATCHDOGThere are 53 Republicans in the Senate, meaning three Republican senators could opt out of voting for the bill, and it could still pass with Vance's support.Vance has previously cast tiebreaking votes in the Senate, including in January to confirm Trumps pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and on a measure in April to curb Trumps ability to impose global tariffs.Vances office declined to provide comment to Fox News Digital.Republican lawmakers whove historically voiced concerns about certain Medicaid provisions included in the "big, beautiful, bill" include senators Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. These lawmakers have cautioned that the reforms would prove detrimental to rural hospitals in their states.Spokespeople for Collins, Hawley and Murkowski did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.The domestic policy package also included provisions to beef up border security and would also make permanent the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from Trump's first term.The White House's Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought told lawmakers earlier this month failure to pass the measure would result in a 60% tax hike for Americans and would trigger a recession.As a result, Matt Wolking, who previously served as the deputy communications director for Trump's 2020 campaign, said Senate Republicans will ultimately band together to approve the legislation to prevent the tax cuts from expiring.HOW JOHNSON PULLED OFF ANOTHER IMPOSSIBLE WIN WITH JUST 1-VOTE MARGIN ON $9.4B SPENDING CUT BILL"Senate Republicans don't want to be responsible for the massive tax increase on the middle class that will occur if they fail to extend President Trump's tax cuts. So, ultimately, they will get this done," Wolking, currently with GOP consulting firm Axiom Strategies, said in a statement to Fox News Digital."President Trump has a big asset in these negotiations with JD Vance, and whether he is needed to break a tie or not, the administration will have another major win under its belt heading into the midterm elections where the strength of the economy will be a big factor," Wolking said.Earlier this month, Vance met with Republican senators to discuss the measure during a closed-door lunch and said afterward he was hopeful about the odds of passing the legislation on time."I mean, look, I cant make any promises. I cant predict the future, but I do think that were in a good place to get this done by the July 4 recess," Vance told reporters June 17.Vance also told reporters that despite concerns from lawmakers, including Collins, regarding certain Medicaid provisions included in the measure, he would work to address any issues raised. Still, he said there was broad agreement within the party on reforming Medicaid to block access for illegal immigrants."Theyre all very confident were eventually going to get there," Vance said.The House narrowly passed its version of the measure in May by a 215-214 margin, with two Republicans voting against the legislation.Trump urged lawmakers to get the legislation to the finish line Thursday, labeling the measure the "single-most important piece of border legislation ever to cross the floor of Congress.""This is the ultimate codification of our agenda to very simply, a phrase that's been used pretty well by me over the past 10 years, but maybe even before that make America great again," Trump said at a "One, Big, Beautiful Event" at the White House Thursday.

President Donald Trump predicted there will be a ceasefire in Gaza sometime "within the next week."Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump called the situation in Gaza a "terrible situation" but expressed optimism there could soon be a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas."Ithink it's close. I just spoke with some of the people involved," said the president, adding, "We think within the next week we're going to get a ceasefire."TRUMP EXERTED 'MAXIMUM PRESSURE' ON IRAN AND ISRAEL TO 'DELIVER PEACE': LEAVITTTrump also addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying, "we're supplying, as you know, a lot of money and a lot of food to that area because we have to, I mean, you have to. In theory were not involved in it, but we're involved because people are dying."He called on other countries to also send humanitarian aid to Gaza."You see the the lines of people just to get one meal, essentially. But its too bad other countries aren't helping out," he said.EX-SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE CALLS US STRIKES ON IRAN A 'SHOT IN THE ARM' FOR AMERICAN CREDIBILITY"Nobody's helping out where we're doing that because I think we have to on a humanitarian basis," he went on."I look at those crowds of people that have no food, no anything. And, you know, we're the ones that are getting it there. Some of it's being taken by some bad people, you know, as you give it and you give it out, and they're supposed to be taking care of the people, and they end up stealing the food and selling it. But we have a pretty good system now, so we're helping with that.""We're working on Gaza, trying to get it taken care of and again, you know, a lot of lot of food has been sent there. And other countries throughout the world should be helping also," he said.'THE MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED': SENATE REPUBLICANS PUSH BACK AGAINST LEAKED REPORT ON IRAN STRIKESThis comes after Trump authorized U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear development sites and subsequently declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, ending what he called "the Twelve Day War."President Trump also took a number of questions on other matters, including one on Ukraine weapons, where he said he "may" authorize Patriot missiles for Ukraine's air defenses.

Top Trump administration officials maintain that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will continue to go through the legal system in the United States before he is deported again, as the administration maintains he will not walk free in the U.S.Abrego Garcias lawyers successfully asked the judge on Friday to keep him behind bars to avoid any possibility of an immediate deportation, according to NewsNation. However, the plan is to try Abrego Garcia in the U.S. on the Tennessee-based human smuggling charges before deporting him, according to the Department of Justice. And if he is convicted, the White House says he will spend time behind bars in the U.S. before being deported.JUDGE SETS STRICT CONDITIONS FOR ABREGO GARCIA'S RELEASE AS TRUMP OFFICIALS PURSUE CASE AGAINST HIM"This defendant has been charged with horrific crimes including trafficking children and will not walk free in our country again," DOJ spokesperson Chad Gilmartin told Fox News Digital in an email.The White House further clarified the Executive Branchs stance following an Associated Press report on the comments from federal prosecutors about possibly deporting him to a third country sooner."This is fake news. Abrego Garcia was returned to the United States to face trial for the egregious charges against him. He will face the full force of the American justice system - including serving time in American prison for the crimes hes committed," White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said in an X post.RETURNED SALVADORAN MIGRANT KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA ARRAIGNED ON FEDERAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING CHARGES IN TENNESSEEDHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the 29-year-old will not be freed in the U.S. at any point."Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien. We have said it for months and it remains true to this day: he will never go free on American soil," she wrote.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEAbrego Garcia, who was living in Maryland, was deported to El Salvador amid accusations of being an MS-13 gang member, as it is a designated foreign terrorist organization. He then spent time detained at the countrys terrorism confinement center. While detained in the country, it sparked a political firestorm in which Democrats raised concerns about due process, with Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-M.D., even meeting with him in the Central American nation.During his El Salvador detainment, past records alleging domestic abuse surfaced, as well as reports that he allegedly had taken part in human smuggling, which ultimately led to the federal charges brought forth earlier this month that resulted in his return to American custody.DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE RETURN OF SUSPECTED HUMAN TRAFFICKER KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA"Abrego Garcia has landed in the United States to face justice," Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the time. "A grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging him with alien smuggling and conspiracy."However, critics blasted the charges as a political move."After weeks of the Trump administration saying they either couldn't or wouldn't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US, the timing of these charges are clearly designed to cover up their negligence and the fact that the Supreme Court unanimously called them out on the egregious ways they are ignoring due process," the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition said in a statement at the time. "Still, Mr. Abrego Garcia will now be able to have his day in court, which The Constitution guarantees for everyone in our country regardless of citizenship."

Federal authorities have arrested more than 2,700 alleged members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), the notorious Venezuelan gang that has come to define the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and mass deportation program, since President Donald Trump took office, officials said Friday.Attorney General Pam Bondi noted the arrests during a White House press briefing when she was asked if an undocumented baby would be an immigration enforcement priority.WATCH: US INTEL'S TAKE ON TDA GANG MISSES MARK ON TIES TO MADURO REGIME, EX-VENEZUELA ARMY OFFICER SAYSBondi responded by saying violent illegal immigrants are prioritized for deportation."Let me put it in perspective: Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TdA members," she said. "Everyone in this room agrees that they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world."Bondi blamed the large numbers of criminal illegal immigrants in the country, as well as letting TdA gain a foothold in the U.S., on the Biden administration's lax border policies.VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT USES TREN DE ARAGUA AS PROXIES TO UNDERMINE US PUBLIC SAFETY, FBI ASSESSMENT FINDSThe Trump administration has designated the gang as a terrorist organization, which Trump has used to allow the speedy deportation of its members under the Alien Enemies Act, which has been challenged in the courts."You should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these gangs and not one district court judge can think that they're emperor over this administration and his executive powers," she said Trump standing nearby.Unknown in the United States until recent years, TdA has been involved in several high-profile crimes and terrorizing a Colorado apartment complex.
