Another Atrocity

Another one, among many:

LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES thirty-five years ago—a few years too late to benefit from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, popularly known as the “Reagan amnesty.” He worked in construction. By the 2000s, he was a small business owner who provided jobs and work for other men. They would drive to the North Houston suburbs and build houses. His dream was to build his own home for his family one day—a dream he achieved.

On Tuesday morning, Lorenzo was picking up workers as usual shortly after 6 a.m. when he was confronted by ICE and killed. He was 52 years old.

This man had been here for 35 years, had a business and raised three American sons who all went to college. He had no criminal record and was known as a responsible family man. The community is heartbroken.

ICE is saying he was violent and they shot him in self-defense, but nothing indicates that’s true. They have no proof and have detained and probably deported the witnesses who were in the car when it happened.

This story is getting national attention as it should. Minneapolic tactics aren’t over. IT’S STILL HAPPENING, they’re just keeping a lower profile. Markwaaaayne is pushing for higher quotas, he just wants them to be kept under wraps.

I’m a little bit frustrated that so many progressives have failed to put this at the top of their list of moral atrocities being committed by the United States government in their names. I know there are many, and we should not be silent about the support we provide to other governments in doing the same.

But this is right here, in our own country. We have an American police state that is abducting, killing, imprisoning, and deporting our own neighbors. They are escalating. And I hear very little about this horror from lefty candidates.

Why is that?
