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.

So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.

JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS, BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS UNFAIR, BUT BLOCKING OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA IN ORDER TO COLLAPSE THEIR WHOLE COUNTRY, IS FAIR 🤔 DID I GET THAT RIGHT 🙄

Most people can barely afford to fill up one tank of gas for their cars, but this f*cker took TWO massive Air Force One jets overseas with him to flex.
We taxpayers paid for it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three. He lived in Houston for 35 years.
On his way to work, ICE agents shot and killed him. His family learned from a video posted online.
There must be accountability. We need a full, independent investigation.

Palestinian aid worker Mohamed Al-Wahidi, who organized World Cup watch parties across the Gaza Strip, was killed in an Israeli missile strike shortly before soccer fans gathered to watch the Egypt-Argentina game on Tuesday evening, according to a local hospital director.
Three others were killed in the attack, including the vehicle's driver, Ahmed Daghmush, 33, and two brothers, 10-year-old Hamza al-Deri and 8-year-old Fari.
"The IDF is aware of the claim that uninvolved civilians were harmed as a result of the strike. The incident is under review," an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson told CBS News.

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb, St. Charles) ICE agents smashed a handcuffed man’s face into a stone wall, then assaulted a U.S. citizen, multiple times, once they realized they were filming.
In the video, multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control, and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall.
A U.S. citizen begins asking for the man’s name, while filming... note that he is not interfering, blocking the agents, or preventing the arrest in any way…. But that doesn’t stop the ICE agent from chases after him, while another agent threatens him with a taser.
As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking toward him, and aggressively shoves him backwards.
Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle… and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, or their cars… that same ICE agent continues shoving the U.S. citizen for no apparent reason.
And while he is standing on the public sidewalk, another agent walks over and points a taser inches from him, and then turns around and points his taser at other innocent people, who are just standing and watching.
Americans have a First Amendment right to record government officials performing their duties in public. Threatening, intimidating, or assaulting someone because they are documenting law enforcement, violates that right.
And slamming a person face, who is handcuffed and not resisting, into a stone wall is excessive force.
This is exactly why it’s important to always record anytime you see ICE agents.
Because when there isn’t video evidence, we’re told to trust the government’s version of events. And more often than not, their version is filled with lies.
But when there is video, the people filming often become the next target… just for documenting what is happening.
And that’s what makes this so alarming.
This is happening across the country, almost every single day. Americans are watching videos of people being thrown to the ground, beaten, threatened, shoved, tased, and intimidated by federal agents… while never seeing anyone held accountable.
When a government refuses to investigate or discipline agents who violate people’s constitutional rights, it sends a message that they can keep doing it.
And that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
The Constitution means nothing if the people sworn to uphold it can violate it without consequence.
And as long as this administration refuses to hold ICE agents accountable, Americans should expect to keep seeing videos like this… because impunity breeds abuse.

Same day, same outlet (the BBC):
Somalis "hijack" ships.
The US merely "boards" them.
This is how consent is manufactured in real time.

Hundreds of Afghans who helped the United States’ war effort in Afghanistan, and who are detained in Qatar, may soon be sent back to Afghanistan or the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the State Department.
The push comes after President Trump halted the Afghan resettlement program more than a year ago. That program offered help to Afghans who faced threats after they aided the Americans during the 20-year war.
@IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to @shawnjvandiver for more.
White Boy Rick would like a word.
The money doesn’t lie.
The evidence shows the charity who supposedly fought the Klan - FUNDED the Klan.
The charity who supposedly fought Neo-nazis - FUNDED Neo-nazis.
The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, funded the very hate groups they claim to oppose, and then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities.
This @FBI and @DAGToddBlanche won’t let them get away with it any longer.

“Bloody Muslim bitch.”
That is what John Ashby shouted at his victim as he raped her
And while doing it screamed anti-Muslim abuse
This did not happen in a vacuum
This is what happens when hate is mainstreamed
When cowards in suits pretend their words have no consequences

UNICEF Spox @1james_elder is still calling for Israel to stop killing civilians, now in Lebanon.
“It’s teachers, it’s doctors, it’s nurses, it’s children… The home of this teacher. Her 3-year-old boy was also killed”

A horrifying video shows dozens of Israeli settlers setting a Palestinian home on fire in the village of Beit Imrin in the West Bank tonight, attempting to burn the family alive.
8 people were injured in the attack, including a one-year-old baby.

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.
