Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.

There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

Predictable and completely infuriating. ICE appears to have concocted the same story as in the murder of Renee good— that victim “weaponized his vehicle” & ir was self-defense.The victim had been in the country 35 years raised three sons never a criminal violation.

ICE does not deny that it's pressuring key eyewitnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo to agree to deportation without a court hearing, and instead offers no responsive comment at all.
Wow. I just heard back from ICE on this. Here's their statement. No comment at all on the claim that the three witnesses in the van with the deceased man are being pressured to self-deport, and ICE refers further questions to the FBI:

Federal immigration agents have fatally shot 10 people in Trump’s second term.

10 human beings. 10 people with families, friends, hopes, and dreams. 10 people who should still be alive today.

Everyone carrying out Trump’s deadly agenda must answer for their crimes.

ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story

But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back

ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.
