Argentine President Javier Milei is in Brazil to headline a far-right convention after skipping a presidential summit to discuss regional trade policy.

CHICAGO A couple hundred activists gathered outside of Chicago City Hall on Wednesday to call on the mayor and City Council to create a new elected board that would have the power to investigate and fire police officers. A plan to create a civilian oversight commission over the police force stalled in a City Council committee in March, but there has been a push for more civilian oversight of police departments throughout the country since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month. CPAC is a popular idea among some activists, but it hasn't found much support among city officials. In Chicago, there is what is called the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. That authority rests with the Chicago Police Board, an independent civilian body made up of private citizens appointed by the mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council.
