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.

🚨 MIC DROP OF THE YEAR
Mehdi Hasan just went nuclear on Trump :
“Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant,
the grandson of an immigrant,
and married to an immigrant.
In fact, two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.”

The crowd reaction says it all:
Speech at the No Kings rally.

I was back in Immigration Court this week, this time for the hearing of a sweet little three-year-old girl, I’ll call her Estrella. She’s been in federal custody, separated from her family for more than 10 months – even though her mom lives here in NYC. The cruelty is truly mind-boggling.

Our beautiful national parks are losing out on revenue meant for safety and trail maintenance because the administration is diverting park fees to fund Trump's vanity projects in D.C.

We need answers and receipts on this misappropriation of taxpayer money.

The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated:

Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings https://t.co/vYCchrDG5n

$2.5 million. That’s what a convicted fraudster told fellow inmates he’d arranged to pay to get out of prison early. Not through an appeal, not through a judge, but through a phone call to the president. 

David Gentile defrauded 10,000 investors out of $1.6 billion and was sentenced to seven years. Less than two weeks later, Trump commuted his entire sentence. When federal prosecutors started investigating how that happened, a DOJ official called the U.S. Attorney running the case, and the investigation was shut down within months. 

Not because they ran out of evidence. Because someone in Washington decided they shouldn’t keep looking.

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

That is a fact.

The President’s foolish comments on Greenland hurt us in Europe tremendously. Greenland and Denmark are NATO allies. Denmark fought by our side in Afghanistan. Trump’s threats have greatly weakened the trust Europeans have had towards U.S. since post World War 2. Stop the stupid.

There's some very weird, strange and dangerous sh*t going on in America. A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president.

Mohammad Paktiawal died in ICE custody. He fought with our troops in Afghanistan. He was not here illegally or a criminal. He worked & had a family. There was no reason for his detention. This ongoing inhumanity is a national shame. Powerful @BillKristol:
