ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.
This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.

His name is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He was one step away from earning his worker's permit and leaves behind his sons who have spoken out about how his father was scared and trying to protect his work van and tools. The ICE agents that shot him were in an unmarked car.
Jackson's framing in the dissent is the one worth holding. Green card holders are, by law, "as close to citizenship as one can get absent naturalization." They have gone through the process, paid the fees, established the ties, built the lives. The Immigration and Nationality Act was written with specific narrow exceptions for when that status could be revoked at the border.
The 6-3 majority has now expanded those exceptions to include unproven allegations. You do not need a conviction. You need an indictment and a return flight. DHS can reclassify your status at the border, move you into removal proceedings, and let the conviction come later. Jackson called it a "massive blank check." The sequencing she describes - reclassify first, convict second - is not a procedural technicality. It is the architecture of a system in which legal status is only as secure as the government's current political interest in honoring it.
