José Irizarry accepts that he’s known as the most corrupt agent in DEA history. But he says he hardly acted alone.

Now Irizarry is accusing fellow agents of joining him in skimming millions from money laundering stings to fund a joyride of luxury travel, parties and prostitutes.
Irizarry told the @AP that dozens of agents, prosecutors, informants and sometimes smugglers were on the “Team America” joyride that included stops in Caribbean strip joints, Amsterdam’s red-light district and a Colombian yacht with a dozen prostitutes. apne.ws/rJarFsf
Irizarry told the AP his story in a series of interviews before beginning a 12-year federal prison sentence. He pleaded guilty in 2020 to 19 corruption counts, including money laundering and bank fraud. apne.ws/rJarFsf

These policies have left transgender people with an agonizing choice between their fertility and their identity.

"Why do I have to risk my own body?" asks a Singaporean transgender woman who wants children and legal recognition — but cannot have both. apne.ws/4KXEOCv
For those who don't want or cannot have surgery, the policies' consequences can be severe, limiting their prospects for jobs, housing, marriage and safe passage through the world. apne.ws/4KXEOCv
