Description

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian are joined by civil rights attorney Greg Kirakosian to analyze the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE agents in Houston. Greg, who has tried excessive force and wrongful arrest cases for years, says the only question that matters in any shooting case is whether there was an immediate, life-threatening danger, and so far nobody can find one. ICE used the same "weaponized his vehicle" justification that fell apart in the Minneapolis shootings, and Greg calls it a rubber stamp excuse. No body cam footage has been released. A passenger in the van was shot through his hand, suggesting crossfire or reckless firing. Greg explains that under California POST standards, an officer who fabricates a threat in a police report loses their credentials. No equivalent accountability exists for ICE agents. The family's legal recourse is a Bivens action or Federal Tort Claims Act suit, but both are increasingly limited: no punitive damages, no attorneys' fees, and narrowing precedent. Greg says flight alone never justifies deadly force under any state's law, and even if Salgado Araujo tried to drive away from unmarked vehicles with no lights or sirens, that wouldn't be a crime in most states. The three attorneys agree: this is a training and accountability crisis, not a one-off incident.

None of the ICE thugs are real officers. They all have questionable backgrounds and aren't smart enough to differentiate anyone they're looking for! Their hateful racism blinds them clearly! If a regular vehicle with NO identifying markings or lights were to chase me down, what says I cannot take drastic measures, including gunfire, to protect myself?

The victim in Maine wasn't a target of ICE either, and agents used the same excuse.

Charge them with murder. Police officers get arrested, and prosecuted, why not ICE?

Trump is not shooting someone on 5th Avenue. He's using Stephen Miller to kill citizens, lawful immigrants and other residents in the streets of our cities. This is NOT tolerable. This is murder of our people.

There is no justification for causing death, period.
