NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

But it appears three other people were in the van with the now-deceased man, and they presumably could recount their version of what happened: the victim’s brother and two employees of the dead man’s construction business. They were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the encounter, and we haven’t heard from them publicly about what happened. Now, in another potentially dark turn in the saga, those three men are under pressure from immigration officials to agree to self-deport, Juan Proano, a representative for the families and CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, claimed in an interview with The New Republic.

Proano—who regularly confers with the family members of the victim and the three detainees and organized a press conference on their behalf earlier this week—said the family members were able to reach the three detainees, who then related this situation.

“They’re being pressured to sign self-deportation orders,” Proano told me. “They’re currently in detention. These men hold the key to what actually happened.” Under self-deportation, detained migrants agree to leave the country voluntarily within a prescribed time period.

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. share.google/dVxYFTgjJ24p...

On Tuesday morning, ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Now, as hundreds march in Houston and Salgado’s family demands an impartial investigation, DHS is using a familiar playbook: They are blaming Salgado for his own death by asserting he “weaponized his vehicle."

After killing one person without warning or trial, the US government let two other survivors die a horrible death by drowning after clinging to wreckage. Despite knowing this was a possible outcome, the US government appears to have deliberately chosen not to stage search and rescue ahead of time.

Today's Government Accountability Office report on ICE's Camp East Montana is scandalous: - Evidence of a homicide was destroyed or went missing - Detainees with HIV and diabetes were not given treatment plans - Cells were filthy and only cleaned weekly - A guard lost a loaded gun in the facility

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Camp East Montana

Two pictures are underneath, one is an aerial view of the tent camp, the other shows the tents from ground level.

GAO found that the Army did not incorporate flexibilities in the contract to account for occupancy levels below the maximum, resulting in millions of dollars in waste. For example, the Army paid the full cost for meals and services from August 1 to August 15, 2025, when there were no detained noncitizens at the facility. GAO also found that ICE could save tens of millions of dollars through September 2026 by incorporating cost saving measures in the contract, such as tiered pricing for meals. In April 2026, ICE terminated the contract for convenience and chose a new contractor to operate the facility. However, ICE had not yet incorporated these cost saving measures into the new contract and continued to pay for meals that it did not need.

GAO also identified serious performance and oversight challenges at Camp East Montana. The facility opened without meeting key detention standards. For example, the facility initially did not have perimeter security cameras, outdoor recreation space, or space for attorney and family visitation. ICE did not identify these issues because it did not inspect the facility prior to housing detained noncitizens there, as required by ICE policy. After the facility opened, ICE reported additional problems, including gaps in medical services, the loss of a loaded firearm, and unsanitary conditions, among other issues. These issues posed serious risks to the safety and security of both detained noncitizens and staff in the facility.

The Voting Rights Act has been essential to protecting everyone’s freedom to vote. By destroying a key provision of the VRA that ensured Black voters were fairly represented, the Supreme Court today betrayed the legacy of the civil rights movement. We won’t stop fighting.

Black graphic with white text reading "[The Voting Rights Act] was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people’s representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court."

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion. Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.
