The Justice Department never opened a real civil rights investigation, and the likes of Vice President JD Vance decided the shootings were “justified” despite the evidence.
That’s not how America is supposed to operate. We’re going to keep demanding transparency and accountability until it comes.
Maria Salgado Araujo, Lorenzo’s wife, isn’t asking for much. They want an independent investigation, an end to the ambush-style tactics and unmarked vehicles, and enough support to keep her family standing.
We saw this same fight in Minneapolis, and we showed up there because the work of the common good doesn’t allow us to look away, not for six months, not ever.
We’re not going to look away from Houston either. In the coming months, we will be in Houston and across Texas to elect Democrats who stand against ICE. Michael Waters, from Houston, is our newly hired Head of Black voter engagement and is a pastor in Dallas. Donations get him engaged in all this work.
Let’s all stand together, for the common good. ICE OUT. Your support helps us do our part.
In this together,
Doug
