Nobody even is thinking one bit about Epstein any more either.
video will tell
ICE killed a good man in Houston TX -- 35 year resident in the US, father of three American kids, a job creator, a well-loved man
looks like they are covering it up
https://newrepublic.com/article/2129...ed-self-deportICE does not deny that it's pressuring key eyewitnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo to agree to deportation without a court hearing, and instead offers no responsive comment at all.
sounds like a sequel
According to DHS, officers tried to stop Araujo’s vehicle as part of a targeted operation, after which the undo ented Araujo “attempted to evade arrest.” DHS claimed Araujo “refused to follow multiple verbal commands” before trying to “run over” an ICE officer, who then fired “in self-defense.” Araujo, struck in the abdomen, was transported to the hospital, where he died.
mistaken iden y
this Kavanaugh stop escalated to the killing of a man ICE wasn't even looking for

eyewitnesses contradict DHS
"weaponized their vehicle" is what DHS says when they shoot people inside their cars
people shouldn't die when DHS pulls over someone who looks like someone they're looking for
DHS released a statement hours after the deadly shooting saying that Salgado Araujo had rammed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle and “weaponized” his white work van “in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer.”
“That is a lie,” wrote Jose Trinidad Rojas, 51, in a handwritten statement. “It is impossible for them to say that they were going to get run over … there were no officers in front of or behind the vehicle. They were on the sides.”
Balderas-Ibarra spoke to Rojas, Daniel Tirado Pantoja, 43, and the shooting victim’s brother, Victor Salgado, 44, and said he heard the same story from each as he interviewed them separately. The men are not being housed together, the attorney said.All three are undo ented Mexican immigrants who are now facing removal proceedings.
“All of them reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van,” Balderas-Ibarra said. “They came in and started shooting from the sides.”
The men told Balderas-Ibarra they were moving at no more than 5 mph on the road. They said ICE rammed their vehicles into the work van, but that at no point did Salgado Araujo use his vehicle to hit law enforcement’s cars.https://www.washingtonpost.com/immig...-ram-officers/The three men in custody have all been in the country for more than two decades, living without do ents and with no criminal record, Balderas-Ibarra said. Balderas-Ibarra is representing Tirado and Rojas and said both men have families and U.S. citizen children they support.

Bill Kristol is right
It's not your place of birth or the color of your skin that makes you American
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/an-amer...-miller-mullinWe should be grateful that Ronaldo Salgado Araujo came to live here in the United States, to build houses for Americans, and to raise three American sons. Araujo was not yet an American citizen, though he had in the last eighteen months filled out paperwork and provided do entation, references, and fingerprints in an effort to regularize his immigration status. But he had lived as an American, de facto if not de jure, for the last thirty-five years. As his son said, he had sought to live the American Dream and to help others to do so.
His son also remarked, “My father was always a strong man and never wanted us to know if he was in pain. He never complained.” Our current government, by contrast, is led by weak men who constantly complain, and who benefit from exploiting other Americans’ weaknesses and anxieties. Our current leaders talk endlessly about American exceptionalism, while turning us into an unexceptional country presided over by thuggish apparatchiks.
I dare say Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a better American than they are.

It's getting hard to resist the conclusion that DHS agents are being trained to use violent tactics for civil arrests and shoot people in their cars -- they keep trotting out the same pretext, that pretext keeps getting shot down in court or contradicted by video evidence
At some point, DOJ needs to face accountability for charging people based on DHS's unsupported lies
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...-shooting.htmlpart of a growing number of similar violent interactions involving civilians and immigration agents. More than 20 people have been shot at since September, nearly all of them in their cars.
violent tactics for civil arrests of noncriminals should be justified, not presumed
It is Lorenzo's family who are calling for a full and honest investigation into why a peaceful man was killed while driving to work by agents of our government.. it is our government that is stonewalling and covering up.
we'll be long remembered for pretextual murders and flauting human rights
Mexico intends to file criminal complaints in the United States regarding Mexican citizens who have died in the custody of U.S. federal immigration officials or while being targeted by federal law enforcement, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Thursday.
Officials announced in Mexico City that 14 Mexicans have died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and another 3 have been killed during ICE immigration enforcement operations, including this week.
The announcement came two days after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Houston. ICE accused Salgado Araujo of ramming an ICE vehicle with his van, refusing to follow multiple commands and weaponizing his vehicle by attempting to run an ICE officer over.
Sheinbaum said the fatal shooting of Salgado Araujo points to a larger pattern of the mistreatment of Mexican citizens in the United States. Mexican officials said Thursday the pending filing of criminal complaints extends beyond nearly a dozen diplomatic complaints that have already been filed by Mexican officials with international human rights officials.https://www.wcia.com/news/national/m...killed-by-ice/Sheinbaum said the criminal complaints will be filed to hold ICE officers or officials accountable for the deaths that have taken place under the U.S. government’s watch.
Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said Thursday that the Mexican government will also file civil lawsuits against the private companies, like the Geo Group and CoreCivic, that operate immigration detention centers in the U.S.
because TRUMP THREW HIM OUT OF MOSCOW-A-LAGO!!!!
