A resident of the October 2 squatter settlement carries a cement block as he rebuilds his home in Tulum, Quintana Roo state, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022. The man's home was partially destroyed on July 27, when police accompanying a backhoe fired tear gas and tried to knock down several homes in the shadow of a new, balconied condo building. The attempt ended when the wind shifted the gas back onto officers, who retreated under a hail of rocks. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo)
