This administration has once again demonstrated that it is more interested in creating a false narrative than in seeking the truth.

Image displaying a message from the ACLU of Texas about Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The text emphasizes that no drugs were found in his van and states that he should still be alive. It highlights that the government's 'search' was unfounded and that the white powder found was not drugs. The message reiterates the Salgado family's claim that Lorenzo made homemade electrolyte mixes to stay hydrated in the Texas heat. The Salgados demand answers and call for an independent investigation.

ACLU of Texas@aclutx· 18d

No one should have to face what the Salgado family is going through. ICE agents are racially profiling, shooting, and killing people in our streets. This horrifying violence must end. Now.

Texans are rallying in memory of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — a husband, father, and Houstonian — who was fatally shot by ICE on the way to work last Tuesday. The message is clear: ICE does not belong in our communities, and we want justice for Lorenzo.

Over the weekend, millions of people across the country — and throughout Texas — took to the streets to reclaim power, express solidarity, and condemn President Trump’s escalating abuses of power. Justice doesn’t trickle down from institutions. It is demanded and defended by the people.
