To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.
There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
Translation:
California made it illegal for Elon Musk to buy elections.
And next, we’re going to make it a felony for Donald Trump to rig one.
Watch out.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think the President of the United States should be able to remember the name of a nation he’s been bombing the shit out of for five months.
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.
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.
Donald Trump is still REFUSING to release billions in fire disaster aid OWED to victims in California.
Now he's doing the same to Democratic-led states while fast-tracking Republican-led ones.
Americans deserve better than government by political retribution.

The US is getting ready to spend a billion dollars to get rid of screwworms because Doge canceled the $300 million dollar contract to control them. Doge should pay the full amount with penalities not us taxpayers.
i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
🚨 Republican Party Chairman Matthew Reilly was found passed out in his car with a crack pipe in his hand.
Police recovered crack cocaine. He has now resigned.
