The village of Blatten in Switzerland’s Lötschental Valley was destroyed by a massive landslide caused by a glacier collapse from the Alps. Authorities confirmed that the village was evacuated on May 19 and that one person remains missing. “We have lost our village. The village is under rubble. We will rebuild,” said Blatten Mayor Matthias Bellwald. Thousands of tons of ice and mud buried the area. The village had a population of around 200.
President Trump deployed 2,700 federal troops to Los Angeles despite California’s objections. The state sued, calling it unconstitutional. Homeland Security claims the protests were pre-planned and linked to gangs. LA Mayor Bass condemned the federal actions, calling the city a “testing ground.” A federal judge blocked Trump’s use of an 18th-century law for mass deportations. Nationwide protests erupted, including a high-profile arrest of union leader David Huerta and a demonstration at Trump Tower with 24 detentions.
