Police in Ecuador Arrest 330 People Amid State of Emergency
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Ecuador, police have arrested at least 330 people in a nationwide
crackdown after President Daniel Noboa declared a state of emergency due
to a surge in violence by drug cartels. During an interview Wednesday,
Noboa said Ecuador is now in a state of war. Schools across Ecuador will
remain shut down until at least Friday.
