Washington, DC – Earlier this week, an ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as he drove to pick up his construction crew in Houston’s Magnolia Park. ICE claimed he rammed an agency vehicle and admitted he wasn’t even the man agents were looking for. In reporting out today, the three men riding with him confirmed that never happened, and that the officer opened fire almost as soon as he stepped out of the car. The cover-up has only deepened since.

Washington, DC – On Tuesday morning, masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles stopped Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as he drove to pick up his construction crew in Houston’s Magnolia Park. Minutes later, an agent shot and killed him. Salgado Araujo had lived in the U.S. for 35 years and, according to his family, was working to secure legal status. ICE claimed he rammed an agency vehicle, but no video has surfaced showing that. This is the same script that ICE ran in Minneapolis.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians is expected to be rescinded in the coming days following the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the Trump administration. That ruling also allows for the termination of the program for Syrians, but in reality, it affects the 1.3 million beneficiaries who currently hold work authorization and protection from deportation.
