Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

I have never met @cbonneauimages but I have been following her reporting from Lebanon
She has been a beacon of clarity, bearing witness to unspeakable atrocities
I wish her all the best & hope respite brings her some solace
Too few mainstream journalists have reported with honesty & courage about Israelโs war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE as @cbonneauimages has done
Too many mainstream journalists have failed the Lebanese and the Palestinians and the cause of humanity
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son: I am calling for a full investigation into the events that transpired on July 7. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.
What motivates a Jewish Israeli activist to drive hours from home and put himself between violent settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank?
Listen to one of our organizers and Solidarity Guard activists, Nati:
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.
"Genocide isn't just about Israelis and Palestinians.ย It's about the whole world โ about humanity, and how weโre erasing humanity."
The victims of the genocide in Gaza are Palestinians, and the perpetrators are Israelis. But genocide is a universal human phenomenon. As such, the responsibility to recognize, understand and oppose it lies with all of us. At the same time, while genocide shares common core aspects, every instance has unique characteristics.
B'Tselem Executive Director Yuli Novak talked withย the "Eyes on Gaza" project to explain why the mass killing and destruction in Gaza did not emerge in a vacuum. They are the direct resultย of nearly 80 years of separation, militarization of Israeli society, and dehumanization of Palestinians, all of which paved the way for the catastrophe unfolding today.

The U.S. is starving and killing babies in Cuba, and the media is staying silent about it.
The U.S. is starving Cuba like Israel is starving Gaza.
This's a criminal act of collective punishment. Thisโs a crime against humanity. And no one is talking about it.

"Me enterรฉ del asesinato de mi padre por un video de Facebook, lo reconocรญ inmediatamente, no por su apariencia, sino por su voz, por cรณmo pedรญa ayuda mientras se desangraba en la acera".
Lorenzo Salgado, un padre de familia, un obrero de la construcciรณn de 52 aรฑos, fue fusilado brutalmente por el ICE de Trump ayer en Houston, Texas (EEUU).
Lorenzo era propietario de un negocio y habรญa estado en el paรญs durante mรกs 35 aรฑos.... Trump no estรก deportando "criminales", estรก deportando y matando a trabajadores solo por su color de piel y su origen de nacimiento.
Those were the days before Starmerโs erosion of democracy & civil liberties: โ29 years ago today 4 Liverpool women were acquitted after damaging fighter jet to stop genocide โ Jury found the 4 not guilty because they were trying to prevent a greater crimeโ https://t.co/A793PT7dGa
WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte
"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"
A star is born. This is Marshawn Camese. He is brilliant. He needs to run for office. Watch him eviscerate a Louisiana MAGA state representative. Looooove him!
So Israel targeted and murdered a guy for organising screenings of the World Cup for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
How is Israel still allowed to compete in the World Cup?
A Nun was declared dead in Israel after what authorities described as a highly unfortunate sequence of accidents involving 182 passing settlers trucks, each of which allegedly struck her independently and unintentionally, according to initial reports... well, it's not believable
Take our fourth poll.
4. Do you think that Britons who have served in the Israeli military during the Gaza genocide should be investigated for involvement in possible war crimes?
