ICE Kills Again & Again with Impunity & Immunity: The Cold-blooded Killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. How the Trump Administration Has Given the “Green Light” for Rogue, Trigger-happy, Federal Agents to Shoot First and Lie About it Later.

ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seems to have a mandate to kill. They’ve struck again!Welcome to this explosive, fact-finding episode of Light ‘Em Up.On Tuesday July 7th in the early morning hours, 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo took his coffee and food his wife had prepared for him, said goodbye to his wife and their dog, and left the house he built.He drove his white van, picked up three co-workers, and headed towards a construction site to work on some houses.But Salgado never made it to work.During a “targeted enforcement operation”, ICE officers shot and killed Salgado and arrested the three other men.ICE says Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tried to ram agents with a van before one shot him dead.  Almost immediately, questions emerged over how the encounter had escalated.  In initial statements, homeland security officials said that Mr. Salgado Araujo had tried to use his vehicle as a weapon.History and the evidence have shown that ICE has a long track record of lying. They lied about Renee Good and they lied about Alex Pretti as well. Pam Bondi immediately held a national press conference to spin farcical stories to help cover the Trump administration’s asses.  Claiming that agents shot Renee Good because she “refused commands to exit her vehicle” and “attempted to run over an officer with her car” — weaponizing her vehicle.Through their legal representation, the three witnesses who were in the vehicle with Mr. Araujo (all Mexican nationals) dispute the account by ICE of the fatal shooting. A lawyer for these men (a Mr. Hugo Balderas-Ibarra) said that account of ICE was untrue.Salgado’s death marks the 10th of 11 fatal shootings by federal immigration officials nationwide since the second Trump administration took office, a review of public reports by Light ‘Em Up shows — as the Trump administration continues with its anti-immigrant crackdown.For 35 years, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was undocumented and chasing the American Dream.  He hoped to obtain legal status, his family said. Those dreams ended when he was gunned down in the streets — something you wouldn’t even do to a rabid dog — gunned down last week by an immigration agent who was looking for a different man.This comes on the heels of learning that there will be no charges for the federal officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.In this incendiary episode we’ll investigate in-depth:—     Can you sue an ICE agent who has gone rogue?—     Will there be any accountability in this case?—     Will the government try to protect their story and deport the witnesses before they have an opportunity to tell their full stories in a court of law?—     With the Trump administration, does ICE have a mandate to kill?The deadly confrontation has set off protests in Houston, prompted investigations by local and federal officials, and renewed national focus on President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.An independent inquiry has been called for in this specific case.  Will one be granted? If yes, what might be the outcome? Only time will tell.Trust isn’t something that this administration has built up regarding any topic — especially as it relates to ICE enforcement and matters of immigration.—     Can the federal government ever be trusted under this administration to tell the truth?We speak the truth, protect the vulnerable and always pursue justice.Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show
