Sketch from eyewitness video.‘They follow us like dogs’ (nos siguen como unos perros) cries Antonio ‘El Tigre’ at the memorial for his friend Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was murdered by #ICE agents in Houston, Texas (7/7/2026). After fatally shooting the unarmed Lorenzo, ICE handcuffed him as he bled to death. They then stripped Lorenzo of his wallet and ID so that he would be listed as a ‘John Doe’ at the hospital and his family would be unable to recover his body. Video evidence and eyewitnesses (who DHS is desperately trying to deport) contradict the ICE agents’ claim, their standard lie, that Lorenzo had weaponized his vehicle.ABOLISH ICE NOW!JUSTICE FOR LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO!
Sketch from eyewitness cellphone video.“Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a husband and father, living and working in Houston for 35 years. Yesterday, an # ICE agent shot and killed him.I join the family in demanding a full investigation and have urged ICE to release all body-camera and dash-camera footage, as well as any communications from agents before and after the shooting.My prayers are with the family and the entire Houston community grieving this tragic loss. His family and Texans deserve answers, accountability, and justice. We can’t wait three more years for the murders to end and the terrorization to stop.”
Sketch.Today would have been my friend Mazen al-Hamada’s 49th birthday.He was murdered in an Assad regime prison in December of 2024, just days before Syria’s liberation.Mazen was known for many things: his courage, passion, pain, and humanity.He was also extremely funny, silly, playful, and generous.Even when Mazen was a refugee in the Netherlands, struggling with almost no money, he insisted on treating his guests to tea and cakes.His family and friends remember him as the most thoughtful, warm, gift giver.Today, to honor this beautiful human, we ask that you:
