The Hound | July 10

Hi there,

It’s Friday. On Tuesday morning in Houston, ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — a man who had lived in the United States for 35 years and was on his way to work, close to obtaining legal status. He is the tenth person federal immigration agents have shot and killed since Trump returned to office. And when local authorities tried to investigate Araujo's killing, the federal government shut them out, seizing control of all key evidence.

🖊️ Sign the petition to call on the media to stop covering ICE as a law enforcement agency operating within normal bounds and start covering it as what the evidence shows: an agency engaged in escalating violence, systematic deception, and the deliberate silencing of witnesses.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son asked the world not to reduce his father to a headline. The media can honor that by telling the full story.

In addition, Mexico is requesting criminal charges over the killing of Salgado Araujo and the White House is attacking the Smithsonian’s chief. And a top military lawyer is resigning before the end of his term, another high-profile departure during the Trump administration.
