🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.
In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.
And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.
To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.
That’s how panic starts.
And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”
Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.
They are supposed to de-escalate situations.
Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.
When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.
I am afraid that the United States is getting numb to the fact that we have a federal police force that is extrajudicially executing people in the streets with zero due process or accountability. This must stop!
@Unrakeable@David_J_Bier they racially profiled Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as their Colombian target dude. He wasn’t a criminal. He was just a father and working, building our American houses. They shouldn’t be allowed to assume people are criminals with no proof and kill them. What the FUCK.
@David_J_Bier That IS the policy. That’s why they always say they tried to run me over I feared for my life! Because that’s the only situation that legally allows them to kill people. The policies are in place they’re not following them David
We can now say with a good amount of confidence:
1. It was not a "targeted" operation in any meaningful sense. He was targeted based on his appearance.
2. He did not ram an ICE vehicle. ICE likely rammed multiple times into the side of his van
3. Lorenzo's family claims the men did not know it was law enforcement, as opposed to crooks, so how were these supposed verbal commands conveyed?
4. He did not "attempt to run over" any officers. He turned away from the officers.
Wanting to avoid arrest is still not a reason to kill someone.
@flippintipsy@0liviajulianna Furthermore, ICE under this administration has killed a RECORD number of people.
The following doesn’t even include people like Renee Good or Lorenzo Salgado, it only includes people in custody:
2020: 18
2021: 5
2022:3
2024: 11
2025: 33
2026: 20 so far
53 people since 2025.
@flippintipsy@0liviajulianna The homicide arrest rate for undocumented immigrants is 1.9 per every 100,000 people, compared to 4.8 for citizens, According to a study done by University of Wisconsin-Madison
@flippintipsy@0liviajulianna This is very blatantly false. According to statistica, the U.S. had ~17K homicides in 2016 and 2018, 22.5K in 2020, ~20K in 2022 and ~17K in 2024. But ~20K of these were undocumented immigrants? This doesn’t specify documented vs undocumented either. Immigrants can be citizens.
@martydamus@0liviajulianna the second car cut him off, agents who didn’t identify themselves yelled commands, and the one who was next to the passenger side shot him in the stomach. That is what we have put together from footage and witness statements. The ONLY thing that contradicts are ICE’s lies.
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.
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.
@RhondaKelly802@DHSgov he deserved to be treated like a human being. He got racially profiled and then shot by agents in unmarked vehicles who did not identify themselves before yelling commands. Not being documented does NOT justify being dehumanized and executed. Jesus said to love the immigrants.
