Oscar López Rivera, a Puerto Rican nationalist, was released after decades of house arrest, becoming a symbol of both martyrdom and controversy. In a press conference, he emphasized the desire for Puerto Rican independence and justice, distancing from anti-American sentiments. López was linked to the FALN, responsible for numerous bombings in the US during the 1970s and 1980s, which resulted in casualties and were deemed terrorist acts by the FBI. His release sparked celebrations in Puerto Rico and Chicago, with support from figures like Pope Francis and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
