I hope Ms Sheinbaum succeeds in her efforts to hold the US state accountable and that the perpetrators and those directing them are jailed for significant time.
As angry and sad I was for the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, I am 100 times more so for the death of this man. He seems to have lived a life of quiet service and dignity, and assisted many others in that same way. A truly valuable being has been taken in a completely unnecessary act of ignorant violence. That agent who shot him should be permanently exiled from the human race.
Abolish ICE. America has no need of death squads and that is exactly what they are. Imprison all members of ICE in the same detention centers after releasing all the other people previously sent there.
Leave them there until their trials. One reaps what one sows.
Every person they hurt, every death, I weep the same tears. Even the lynchings that are happening more in the south - when I was alone this morning and watched Suri Crowe’s coverage of what happened to Nolan Wells, I openly weeped. I don’t understand people who don’t see every life with the same value, I never have. Watching the coverage of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s family, seeing their grief and love for him, I can’t help but cry. I got in an argument on YouTube yesterday with an ignorant racist POS because it enrages me that they keep killing innocent people, good people, and I have to fact check their ignorant statements.
The Review included all CBP use of deadly force cases from January 2010 through October 2012. Take special note of Page 8, "Shooting at Vehicles." It's appears that CBP agents have a history of intentionally placing themselves in harms way so they can justify shooting at drivers.
Did you read Malcolm Gladwell's take on David? He was a high school track star versus a handicapped nearly blind man covered in 400 lbs of armor. David had such advantage - the original guerilla warrior. Dash in. Strike before he sees you. Chop off his head with his own sword. Go Claudia!
You're right, Alisa--this is an all too familiar script--and it is tragic (and illegal) outrage every time it happens.
You stated that the Harris County DA's Office is also investigating. I don't know if they are part of the organization Fight Against Federal Overreach (https://www.federaloverreach.org/), but this organization formed specifically to hold federal employees accountable if circumstances warrant it. They are a relatively new organization, but as I understand they are working fast and hard to step to the problem and provide justice when warranted for all of those illegally assaulted or killed by federal agents under this regime. They may be able to assist the Harris County DA's Office, if the office is not already working with them.
Don't know if you know this substack but I thought it might of interest since you've written a lot about the Zorro Ranch.

Alisa,
Do you trust Kirby Sommers?
I hope Ms Sheinbaum succeeds in her efforts to hold the US state accountable and that the perpetrators and those directing them are jailed for significant time.
The OUTRAGE is the same for this citizen!!!! This administration needs to be jailed for TREASON AND MURDER!!

Check out the "US Customs and Border Protection Use of Force Review: Cases and Policies, February 2013" report, conducted by The Police Executive Research Forum. (https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/PERFReport.pdf)

I'm glad she's doing this. She is performing as a strong leader.
This is what DT’s hate has wrought
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the list of the martyrs expands;
impunity-wearing Gestapo, enmasked with fresh blood on their hands.
Seventeen dead of their violence,
smeared as aggressors in death;
as the number grows, so does the silence,
and the men in suits freshen their breath.
A brown-skinned John Doe to the doctors:
the Feds shrug their shoulders,
move on;
the family learned of the darkness
from a Facebook post seen by his son.
The agents that killed Alex Pretti,
the Iceman who shot Renée Good
were congratulated for the job by Pam Bondi,
and the victims called terrorist hoods.
But those victims were innocent White folks,
and the outrage had people enraged —
So scapegoats were thrown to the sidewalk,
and new puppets were swiftly engaged.
But the ones like Salgado Araujo,
whose skin color shaded to Brown:
Silverio shot in Chicago, Keith Porter in LA put down;
And 16 other Mexican migrants,
whose lives were by la Migra cut short,
got Mexican President Sheinbaum
to demand that their killers face Justice in Court.
The targets of Icemen are brown-skinned,
the bigotry shows in their eyes;
Don't let them divide us around skin:
All sisters and brothers,
all shapes and all colors,
we all are just human,
The People Unite!
