The blame should squarely lie with Congress. People who are working here, paying taxes, contributing to the economy and have no criminal record should have a path to residency in this country and not have to live in the shadows.
A man who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Houston while on his way to work Tuesday was not the target of their immigration operation, according to a source with preliminary details about the incident.
The shooting took place around 7 a.m. as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo attempted to evade arrest when agents tried to conduct a traffic stop, ICE said in a previous statement, describing it as a “targeted enforcement operation.” The agency did not specify whether he was the target.
Texas authorities had previously notified ICE about two individuals — neither of whom was Salgado Araujo — traveling in a white van believed to be in the United States without legal status, according to the source, prompting them to surveil the vehicle.
Totally agree with you Dan. This means of killing people to deter more people from coming to our country has to stop. Especially considering the ICE people don't seem to care whether these people are human beings like the rest of us who just want a better life. And yes I agree with Max that much of the blame goes straight to the top and those helping him.
Will any Republican grow a spine and stop this. Our immigration system is broken. Having goon squades terrorizing and murdering people is not the answer. The vast majority of those detained aren't criminals. They came to America for a better life. We should try to help them get documented and legal. Anerica was built on the blood and sweat of immigrants. We need them. I've worked with tons of immigrants. Most work harder the Americans do. They won't to prove they belong. The whole mess just pisses me off.
4 days later nary a word from Cornyn, Cruz, Paxton, Abbott. Mr. Salgado contributed to their salaries and they cannot bring themselves to stand up to Trump and Miller, PATHETIC.
There is no end to the number of murders caused by ICE agents which go uninvestigated by impartial parties. This is wrong, illegal and unchallenged for the most part and needs to stop.
One of the saddest excuses I've heard about the whole corrupt current administration, to paraphrase, is "well I don't agree with a lot of what they are doing but it is good for the economy." What kind of a nation have we become when people are willing to allow the federal government to steal from the public, use our tax dollars for their own personal gain and ignore
people desperate for healthy food, housing and decent medical care because they think that they personally are benefitting financially, Enough already.
This is what Republicans have wanted for generations. This is what Republicans are. There's never been a different kind of Republican in my lifetime. My question is… where are all those militia guys who are gonna protect us from this kind of overreach? Weren't they the guys that were supposed to shoot back?
I could not imagine hearing my fathers say “help me I’ve been shot” and then no one helping him & then he dies! It makes me cry, thinking those adult children have to hear that! Ice must be held to account after this corrupt administration is out! But how many more innocent people will have to die?

The blame lies squarely on Congressional Republicans. Trump must be impeached for his crimes.

ICE = death squads. Who will they come for next?
Lorenzo Araújo, Say his name,
Lorenzo Araújo. Say it like you say, Renee Good. Lorenzo Araújo, say it like you say Alex Pretti.
Now say the names of the agents that ran him down in their unmarked cars, pulled him from his work van, and shot him in cold blood. Who are they?
Prayers for his family, and prayers we take back our country.
Thank you for your strong and critical response which I strongly support and will continue to follow its outcome.
To identify the worst of the worst Stephen Miller should look in a mirror.

If this upcoming election is rigged by Trump, I doubt anyone can predict what will happen next. This madness must be stopped.

This is just a practice run. Cause a protest, call it an emergency and cancel the midterms. Think they can't?
