As Twitchy reported earlier on Monday, people are rioting in Maine after an ICE-involved shooting killed a 26-year-old Colombian national. This incident follows the fatal shooting last week of a Mexican illegal in Houston who allegedly tried to run down an ICE agent. Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for ICE to be abolished, and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that she's pursuing legal action against the Trump administration over the death of one of her citizens who was living here illegally.
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico posted on Sunday that neighbor and fellow Texan Lorenzo Salgado Araujo had been "murdered" by ICE.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE.

His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook.
Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice. pic.twitter.com/KFLRZ9ZVEq
Counter: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo received justice.

As it turns out, in the real world, when an illegal alien tries to run over an armed federal agent, the lawbreaker's life expectancy drops to zero.
He couldn't have been a Texan considering he wasn't an American.

And he died because he was trying to kill a federal agent.
Why do you have more compassion for criminals and illegals than for Americans?
Weird that you call justifiable self-defense by trained law enforcement officers “murder” but act like that’s not EXACTLY what Araujo was trying to do to them.

He wasn’t a Texan. He had 35 years to become a Texan and failed to do so.

You definitely don't plan on winning in Texas. He was an illegal alien, and didn't belong here. Perhaps he shouldn't have run over an ICE agent.

He was an illegal alien, not a Texan. Citizenship means something.

He got justice when he tried killing another human being by running them over with his car 🤷♂️

Why should you be trusted to legislate law when you are an enemy of the people who enforce our laws?

I was confused for a moment, so I had to check if you were an attorney.

You were once a public middle school teacher, so I don’t think you qualify as a judge or a one-beta-man jury system. But you do you, boo!
He actually wasn't a fellow Texan, or even an American at all. That was kinda the problem. That and the fact that he tried to hit people with a car.

You must have skipped Texas history in school. No Mexican citizen is a Texan. Now that we cleared that up, he shouldn’t have tried to run over federal agents. Hope this helps.

He WAS NOT a fellow Texan. Quit trying to sell that lie.

When you turn your vehicle into a weapon, the person you're trying to run over has the right of self defense if they are in fear for their life. You know this. You're committing outright defamation and you should be sued.

How long can you virtue signal standing on his grave?

"He deserves justice." A lot of people think he received justice after trying to run down a federal agent.
Any concern at all for fellow Texans killed by illegal aliens?
