The man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition, Siegel said. #Trump #law #immigration #UseOfForce #CivilRights #AbuseOfPower

#Police #shooting in #Madison, #Wisconsin being investigated as a #homicide, police chief says The city’s independent watchdog accused police of obstructing her inquiry into the shooting. Madison’s police chief said he was “committed to working with the independent monitor.” #law #UseOfForce #ExcessiveForce #PoliceBrutality #murder #BLM

In case there was any doubt, #Trump is fully condoning the #ExtraJudicialKillings by #ICE. Federal Agents Were Told #FBI Will No Longer Investigate ICE “Confrontations” Senior officials deny such a change is in the works, despite guidance shared with agents around the country in recent days. #law #murder #Constitution #ExcessiveForce #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #HumanRights #AbuseOfPower #fascism #Tyranny #MafiaState #ICE #Sturmabteilung #WhiteSupremacy

HT @KimPerales@toad.social Alarms sound after 'horrifying' red-state police training exposed: 'More people will die' by Alexander Willis July 14, 2026 2:53PM ET "Progressive activist and media figure #JustinKanew sounded an alarm Tuesday after a Democratic district attorney shared a 'horrifying' account of law enforcement training in the GOP-controlled state of #Tennessee. "On Saturday, an op-ed written by Democratic District Attorney Steven Mulroy of Memphis was published in USA Today detailing his experience attending a 'weeklong use-of-force training for law enforcement by #ForceScience, a private company hired by many law enforcement agencies across the country.'

Mr. Araujo was shot in the abdomen & taken to a hospital, where he died. “After speaking with these three men that were in the vehicle with Lorenzo, I have no doubt that what these #ICE agents are saying is completely false,” Mr. Balderas-Ibarra said in a video posted on Instagram. “At no point did they ever use the van to ram into the ICE agents & at no point were these ICE agents’ lives ever in any danger.” #Trump #law #immigration #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce

They said that Araujo, a 52-yr-old Mexican #immigrant who was driving to work at a construction site, did NOT use his vehicle as a weapon or attempt to run over the #immigration officers who opened fire. Soon after the shooting, the acting director of #ICE, David Venturella, released a statement claiming that Araujo had tried to run down the officer. NO evidence was provided to support that account. #Trump #law #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce #fascism #WhiteSupremacy

A Mexican national fatally shot by an #ICE officer in Houston had no criminal convictions during his decades living in the #US & was driving a crew to a homebuilding site when he was killed, his family & a #Texas congresswoman said Wednesday. #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo was working toward securing legal status in the US & knew what to do if stopped by ICE, his son said. #Trump #immigration #UseOfForce #ExtrajudicialKillings #murder #Sturmabteilung #fascism

Federal officials said they were stopping the vehicle in an #immigration enforcement operation. Ronaldo Salgado said his father may have been scared that the people in unmarked vehicles were coming to steal the tools he had used for 35 years to build homes, from sunrise to sunset, so he could send his three American sons to college. #Trump #UseOfForce #ExtrajudicialKillings #murder #ICE #Sturmabteilung #fascism

“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot & killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father & a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream,” Salgado said during a news conference. #Trump #immigration #UseOfForce #ExtrajudicialKillings #murder #ICE #Sturmabteilung #fascism

The shooting happened Tuesday in Magnolia Park, a neighborhood that has been a hub for Houston’s Mexican American community for a century. #Trump #immigration #UseOfForce #ExtrajudicialKillings #murder #ICE #Sturmabteilung #fascism

#ICE agent fatally shot a motorist in #Houston, #Texas Tuesday during an attempt by officers to stop the man's vehicle, according to ICE [so, probably BS]. The man shot to death was identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, described by ICE as a Mexican national & "illegal alien" who attempted to evade arrest ​during a "targeted enforcement operation" by federal immigration officers. #Trump #immigration #law #UseOfForce #ExtraJudicialKillings #murder #Sturmabteilung #fascism

Three months before he died, guards found Lunas Campos with a sheet tied around his neck, the records say. Staff discussed moving him to “a higher level of care for mental health treatment,” according to the records, but never did. Lunas Campos’s struggles with #MentalHealth, the details of which have not been previously reported, provide context for the chaotic events surrounding his death on Jan 3. #law #immigration #DutyOfCare #Constitution #8thAmendment #UseOfForce #ICE #Trump

What took place in his final moments, behind the walls of a privately run detention center, is the subject of conflicting accounts, with a witness claiming the 55-year-old Cuban immigrant was choked to death by guards & #DHS alleging he had been trying to take his own life & was killed in an ensuing struggle. #law #immigration #DutyOfCare #Constitution #8thAmendment #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ExcessiveForce #PoliceBrutality #murder #ConcentrationCamps #Sturmabteilung #Trump

On Monday, Lunas Campos’s family sued the guards & the companies that oversaw Camp East Montana, the El Paso detention center where he died, alleging the guards killed him & that their employers failed to adequately train & supervise them. The lawsuit also alleges the facility failed to properly treat Lunas Campos’s #mentalillness, putting him in danger. #law #immigration #DutyOfCare #Constitution #8thAmendment #CivilRights #UseOfForce #murder #ICE #ConcentrationCamps #Sturmabteilung #Trump

The complaint cites the findings of the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner, which ruled Lunas Campos’s death a #homicide, saying that he died by asphyxiation. The finding of homicide does not imply intent to kill, but rather that the victim’s death was caused by another person. #law #immigration #DutyOfCare #Constitution #8thAmendment #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ExcessiveForce #PoliceBrutality #murder #ConcentrationCamps #PrivatePrisons #ICE #Sturmabteilung #Trump

You can only #CryWolf a certain number of times before no one believes you.

“How do I decide when a law enforcement response crosses the line from a legitimate law enforcement response to a response that violates the #10thAmendment?” Judge Kate M. Menendez asks a lawyer for the state of #Minnesota. Brian Carter, a lawyer for MN, tells the judge that “at its heart, the issue is that the #federal government is attempting to bend the #state’s will to its own. And that is not allowed under the #Constitution.” #Trump #law #UseOfForce #authoritarianism #ICE #CBP

It tells them that even if they effectively execute a #US #citizen who presents no threat on camera on a public street, they will face no consequences—a recipe for future tragedies. The state’s interest in finding a way to at least create some deterrence to deadly federal lawlessness is not just a matter of #justice: It is also a way of keeping its people safe moving forward. #law #Trump #immigration #Constitution #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ExtraJudicialKillings #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung
