Guatemala is working to preserve 60,000 case files containing testimonies of abuses during its 1960-1996 armed conflict. The files, part of the National Reparations Program, detail atrocities like extrajudicial executions and forced disappearances, and are at risk of being lost amid political challenges. A UNESCO-funded project aims to safeguard the archive before the end of President Bernardo Arévalo's term in 2028.

Miami-Dade County is using eminent domain to acquire a fuel tank facility on Fisher Island from developer HRP, which purchased the property for $180 million but now demands $400 million. The county claims the facility is critical for PortMiami's operations, while HRP attributes the dispute to the county's failure to plan infrastructure. The controversy led to the removal of several high-ranking county officials.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced resignations of County COO Jimmy Morales and PortMiami Director Hydi Webb amid a lawsuit by Fisher Island residents opposing the sale of a fuel depot. Residents argue the sale violates a prior agreement and claim the county's eminent domain threat is unconstitutional, with a separate federal lawsuit ongoing. Roy Coley was promoted to deputy mayor, and Frederick Wong will serve as PortMiami's interim director.
