Outrage after Houston ICE shooting: the new details

Federal officials’ version of what led to the fatal shooting of a man in Houston during an immigration operation this week doesn’t match that of three men detained during the incident, an attorney who spoke with them says. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said an agent opened fire Tuesday after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow verbal commands during a traffic stop that was part of a “targeted operation.” CNN’s Erin Burnett looks at new video of the fatal incident and new witness accounts of what happened. 0:00 What new surveillance video shows 2:56 The new details from witnesses 7:23 What the Harris County district attorney has to say Watch 24/7 live news with CNN Headlines: https://bit.ly/4eIvlTr #News #ice #houston

MAGA world shrugs as Trump reports $2.2 billion in personal gains

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) torched what was left of her relationship with President Donald Trump on Thursday after new financial disclosures showed he personally pocketed 2.2 billion during his first year back in office, The New York Times reported Friday. The Republican Party hijacked MAGA, Greene wrote on X, the Times reported.Some MAGA voices went further, framing the windfall as proof of Trump's business savvy rather than a conflict of interest. Iowa activist Kelley Koch, who chairs a group called MAGA Nation, brushed off outrage entirely: Let's just be honest, people are checked out right now, she said, speaking with the Times.Democrats weren't nearly as forgiving. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Trump the most corrupt president in American history, while Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) accused him of standing with the billionaire class while ordinary Americans struggle, the Times reported.

ICE Killing Of Salgado Sparks Outrage And Protest In Houston

Protesters shouted “ICE out of Texas” after Donald Trump’s ICE goons shot and killed Mexican immigrant Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as he was on his way to work. Salgado was not a criminal. He had been in the U.S. for 35 years and was close to obtaining legal residency, his family said, as per Reuters. His son said he learned about his father’s shooting from a video on social media. ’I recognized him immediately, not from his appearance, but from his voice, crying for help as he lay on the street, bleeding out,’ he said, choking back tears,” Reuters reported. This is Trump's America, y'all. As Andrea Thompson posted, DHS has claimed that Salgado “weaponized his vehicle” in an attempt to run over an ICE agent as they were conducting a “targeted enforcement operation in Houston. That’s the same dubious excuse ICE used for shooting and killing Renee Good in Minneapolis, in January. Yet, instead of proving its case, ICE has seized the evidence and kept it out of reach of local investigators and has no plans to do any investigation at all. In other words, DHS looks to be doing everything possible to cover up Good’s killing.read more

Keystone Kash Runs Into Trouble With Crackpot FBI Goose Chase

Kylie Cooper/ReutersSenate Democrats are pushing back hard against FBI Director Kash Patel’s wild decision to mobilize hundreds of federal agents and analysts on what one senior senator is calling a “fool’s errand.” Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to both Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding answers after MS NOW reported that Patel had ordered 260 FBI intelligence analysts from field offices across the entire country to work on what internal FBI documents describe as a “priority investigation” in Georgia related to the 2020 election. Warner did not mince his words. “This misuse of taxpayer dollars is negligence and abuse of power of the highest order,” he wrote, before laying out exactly what was being sacrificed to pursue it.Read more at The Daily Beast.
