"How many more of our dads have to die? How many more children have to wait hopelessly for answers?” Salgado pressed the questions in his testimony. He asked the Congress not to let today's hearing be the only response, and asked protesters to "be loud in calling for justice.”

Ronaldo Salgado, son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, testified ICE agents approached his father in two unmarked vehicles with no emergency lights on. "That must have been terrifying, not knowing who was after him," he said. Salgado Araujo, 52, had lived in the U.S. for 35 years.

@RepSylviaGarcia says her office sent six letters to ICE and @DHSgov demanding accountability in the Salgado Araujo case, including one from the @HispanicCaucus and one with 180 signatures. None have received a response. Garcia grew emotional as she closed her remarks.
