I’m tired of people acting like someone’s life matters less because they weren’t an American on paper. He spent 35 years here, raised three American children, and built his life in Houston. He was an American in every way that mattered.
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.
Renee Good all over again.
They interviewed all the three witnesses separately, and they all say the same thing.
They did not ram the car; ICE agents fired at them, and then mocked Mr. Salgado as he lay there dying.
So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.
JD Vance: “The November midterms give us a choice: keep fighting fraud with Republicans or send criminal fraudsters a life boat from the Democrats.”
Just a quick reminder, this administration has pardoned more fraudster than every other administration combined.

I'm always struck by how many immigrants detained, deported, dying bear the trappings of "real America" we mythologize
ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.
The people who wanted Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a melania joke are suddenly ok with a UFC fighter's disgusting 'joke' about Michelle Obama on White House grounds.
Every fact is “fake news”
Every protest is “paid agitators”
Everything they don’t like is a “hoax”
Every election they lose is “rigged”
Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.
Imagine calling Biden sleepy Joe For 4 years.
And then you elect a guy who falls asleep at a Knicks game, during meetings, in court.
MAGAs are parodies of themselves
Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.
So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.
Imagine if Biden:
• Created a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to rioters who assaulted police officers
• Banned the IRS from auditing him, his family, and his companies
• Accepted a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign monarchy
Pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted police officers
• Openly promoted his own meme coin while in office
• Had family members cutting international business deals while he was in office and directly profiting from them
• Repeatedly “joked” about staying in office past two terms
• Repeatedly praised Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un
The outrage would never end.
The fact that people are becoming numb to this level of corruption is insane.
