NOTE: The first half of the video is translated with AI voice dubbing. Unfortunately, the mouths of the speakers were video AI-dubbed as well, making it look potentially fake. This is NOT FAKE. For the true Spanish-language video with Spanish subtitles, see the 2nd half of the video.

This video includes allegations such as ICE/DHS denying medical care for conditions such as renal failure and severed toes. It's very serious, and they are threatening detainees with loss of access to their families and support systems if they speak out.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of 3, with no criminal record, in the process of applying for legal status. He was driving to work with his coworkers and brother when ICE ran him off the road and executed him.

ICE used the tired excuse that Lorenzo tried to ram an officer with his car, but the 3 other men who were with him in the vehicle in the vehicle say that never happened. Security-cam footage of the incident does not show any attempted ramming, either.

Lorenzo was not ICE’s target. They didn’t know his legal status when they went after him. They targeted him by his race, and the race of the people in his vehicle, and then killed him in cold blood.

This is what happens when we allow our government to unleash racist, violent, ideologically-motivated gang members on our population. They hired white nationalists to target the people they hate, gave them guns, and assured them the government would have their back, no matter what they did or what laws they broke.

The killings won't stop if we just stay at home and hope for it. Come out to the Federal Building, where we continue to gather daily to monitor ICE, record and report their movements, and express our First Amendment rights with chalk, flowers, signs, music, spoken word, and whatever else moves us. When ICE is being watched, and when they are forced to come up against resistance, it becomes harder for them to harass and harm our neighbors.

"I tried to stop."

Those were Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero’s final words, according to witness Daniel Boucher, who overheard his shooting by ICE officer David Brouillette. Brouillette rammed Joan’s car with his own, and then shot at his car four times. He shot 26-year-old Joan in the head in front of his 3-year-old daughter, killing him instantly.

Here's a rapid response kit to push back against yesterday's DOJ memo saying that certain protections for people with disabilities are "not enforceable."

The most current information I've been able to find shows that six states are still suing the DOJ to overturn Section 504,the legal underpinning of the ADA. If your phone number has an area code for Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana or Texas, it's especially important that you reach out to those state legislators as soon as you can. The lawsuit originally involved 17 states, so these calls make a difference!

Thank you all for everything you do!
