On Tuesday, July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. He was a dad driving a work van with his crew when he was gunned down. Then on Monday, July 13, ICE unleashed the same horrific tactics, fatally shooting 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero when they s...

Two men gone in 1 single week after encounters with ICE. When will this stop??

In Houston, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52 yr old father, husband, and builder of 35 years, was on his way to work when he was shot and killed during a traffic stop. He wasn't even the intended target. Witnesses say he never tried to hit anyone, but the official story says otherwise. No body cam footage released. The FBI has the evidence, but local authorities say they've been shut out.

Now in Maine, another family is grieving Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26 yr old man from Colombia who was authorized to work in the U.S.

Their loved ones left with more questions than answers & an unjust system that keeps saying "investigation pending" while families wait for the truth.

It’s interesting how both incidents, coincidentally all body cam footage was off.

All law enforcement needs to be very clearly tagged and be identifiable!

ICE arrests surged to 10,000 in just 5 days… that’s double the earlier daily rate. The White House has set 2,000 arrests per day as the new standard.

This push follows recent Supreme Court rulings that expanded presidential power over immigration policy and allowed the termination of Temporary Protected Status for certain groups. Stephen Miller had previously set a goal of 3,000 daily arrests (which wasn't met), but ICE has since hired thousands more officers and received billions in additional funding.
