Lorenzo Salgado Arojo, who was murdered in cold blood this past Tuesday by Donald Trump's ICE Gestapo in the early hours of the morning as he was headed to work with three other workers, including his brother, in his white van in a company that he owned where he employed multiple people, Trump's ICE Gestapo pulled up, rammed him and then murdered him in cold blood. Then took his belongings, took his wallet, called him a John Doe so that his family couldn't even identify him. Then try to round up the others in the car, did round up the others in the van, then try to force them to self deport in order to avoid them from telling the truth about what really went down that the ICE Gestapo murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in cold blood. Fortunately, the community has come together. Investigative journalists have come together. The Arojo family hired a great legal team and there's been great community support and they expose the Trump regime's cover up. The Trump regime tried to claim, oh this was some criminal who tried to go after us and he tried to attack us and we were acting in self defense. That was all exposed as a lie. Now all hell is breaking loose right now in Houston as the Trump regime still refuses to take accountability. They're saying, well actually we were looking for Guatemalan criminals. That's what we were doing. And so it was a case of mistaken identity. But it was still Lorenzo Salgato Araujo's fault, not taking any accountability. And they're trying to force the others in the van to deport as well. And they're still threatening them. And the family had struggled to get the body back of Lorenzo Salgata Arojo. His son Ronaldo has given some of the most touching speeches about his father, who is clearly one of the most incredible people. They called him El Mundo and Tello. He was the whole world to this family. He had lived lived in the United states for about 35 years. He was there with his wife who he met in Mexico as a Teenager. They were raising three children together. Every morning he would kiss his children goodbye in the morning where he would do a hard day's work. And of course, he was still working on his paperwork. But he had lived here, he had paid taxes. He was a productive person in the community, a great soul, an incredible human being who has been taken from this earth by Donald Trump, Trump's Nazis, by Trump's Gestapo. And the people in the community are absolutely livid. The people of this country are livid. I want to show you what some of these protests look like right now. So you can see they're continuing to grow and grow in the Houston area. A big protest scheduled for today, the justice for Lorenzo protest at 6pm at City Hall. I know a lot of people are going to be there. We'll be covering it. Here on the Midas Touch Network, a medical examiner ruled the Lorenzo Salgata Rojo's death a homicide. I want to share with you this video obtained by KPRC2 showing the moments before Lorenzo Salgata Rojo got shot by the officers. You'll see over here, play the B roll. He's in the white van being chased by ICE officers in an undercover suv. Then appears to U turn when boxed in before agents run after him. You'll see the agents running after him and then shots were fire. You can see right over here the white van that Lorenzo was in with the three others in the van, including his brother who worked at his company. You can see over here where that van was. You can see the ICE SUV that boxed him in when they executed Lorenzo Salgado Arojo over there. I'll show you what some of these protests look like right now. So you can see. I'm not going to show that. There's a graphic video of Lorenzo Salgata Arojo on the ground. He's screaming in agony, in pain, as ICE is letting him bleed out, forcing him to bleed out. And he I don't want to play the video. I don't want to play the video. And he's screaming for help. He's saying, help, help, help me, I'm dying. Help me, help me. As he bleeds out and an ICE officer is just standing over him, letting him and watching him bleed out, doing nothing. There's no medical attention at all. I obviously, for obvious reasons, don't want to show that. Let me show you what the protests look like right now. So you can see for I showed a little bit at the beginning of this video. You can see right over here the protests again.

ICE came to Houston and killed one of our own. This is not the first time that this has happened. We saw it with Renee Good. We saw it with Alex Preddy. And every single time they come and they tell us their version of events, but we don't see any evidence. If ICE was not in our streets, Lorenzo would still be alive today.

Now let me share with you what Houston Mayor John Whitmire just said. He called on the FBI to share evidence with local police related to the fatal shooting of Lorenzo salgatarojo by this ICE Gestapo by these Trump terrorists. Here.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire
Play this clip 80 hours ago. The Salgado family. Life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by an unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak. As a Houstonian, He was shot and killed. The FBI has all the evidence that would normally go in to an HPD or other law enforcement agencies investigation. They have the evidence in this instance, the van, the passengers, the deceased, and they're tightly controlling it. We've reached out to them and asked them share that information with hpd. The pain is real across Houston. Immigrants make this Houston a great city.

At the Midas Touch Network, we were able to speak with Juan Proano. Ron Proano is from lulac. He's one of the main community groups that's representing the Arojo family right now, the Salgata Arojo family. He talks about how there were others in the vehicle. Here's what he has to say.

He was picking up his employees. There were three others with him in that vehicle, including his brother, the uncle of Ronaldo and two other employees. And those individuals are now being pressed to sign self deportation orders. They're trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.
- [13:31]
Co-host/Commentator
Whoa, Juan, this is the first that I am hearing of this. They want to get rid of the eyewitnesses to the killing of Lorenzo Salgado by getting them pretty much off of US Soil and getting them out of here.

Narrator/Commercial Voice
The family is demanding the release of, of Lorenzo's body. Number one, they haven't done that yet. So, you know, it has been complicated because of the fact that they actually removed all of his personal identifiable information from his person before they put him in the ambulance. And what that required was the hospital to receive him as a johndha. Okay. Even though the family knew it was him that knew he was in the ambulance, the FBI agent that was on site, you know, with Ronaldo, who was also there, who got there very quickly, did not provide any information at all, you know, really for, you know, led him on for hours and finally told him to go to the hospital to find out more. As a result, the family has had to go through extra hurdles. You know, they've had to go through verification, through biometric information just to, you know, to report what we knew, that it was Lorenzo Salgado who was shot and killed by ICE agents. The family is a mixed status family, household. The next of kin, Maria, is undocumented. And so, you know, major concerns in regards to that. So we're trying to get a power of attorney for Ronaldo to be able to go and claim the body. But they want him home

Interviewer
All right, Tom, I want to ask you about this story. It's making the rounds. It is a story of an illegal immigrant who was killed in Houston, shot by an ICE officer. Now, according to dhs, the illegal immigrant tried to ram the ICE officer with his car. Now this, of course, as you know, is making the rounds. There are those talking about it on other cable channels and in other mainstream media sources. And what they will say is, after Alex Preddy or Renee Goode, they don't accept initial explanations of what has happened. So I want to ask you what happened and what evidence does DHS and ICE have to back up what happened?
- [16:36]
Tom Homan (Former ICE Official)
Well, look, as usual, I'm not going to discuss an ongoing investigation. We're going to let the investigation play out. Because if I give an opinion, then that may sway, you know, certain people on the decisions of the investigation. We need to let the investigation play out, let the facts come together. There's going to be some body cam footage. Maybe there's going to be cell phone video. There could be, you know, cell phone towers in the area or cameras that the city owns that may, you know, capture some images. So we need to let the investigation play out, but for the media, don't trust us. And why is that? Because the vast majority of media, you know, they constantly tell lies about what ICE is doing, and they base that on members of Congress who want to compare ICE to the Nazis, the secret police and so forth. The hateful rhetoric is driving public opinion away from ice. But I think in the last. In the last few months, we're winning the public back because we're putting the truth out there. We're releasing videos. We're talking about these investigations. So when this investigation comes out, we'll see where it lies. But, you know, we gotta let it play out.
- [17:38]
Interviewer
Well, you're 100% right. I know you're right. That is the right answer. It's the right thing to do. Tom, we just are in this moment where the period of time between which we see body cam footage or flock camera or city camera footage is filled with lies that command the public narrative. You know, that's where hands up, don't shoot came in. That's where so many different narratives that people still believe today come in. And we can implore them, wait for the Evidence, wait for the facts. Unfortunately, so many others fill that time period with lies, lies that become narratives that turn into political movements. And I know that your job today is to be right. And I know that. I appreciate you being right. I also know this is the time when those that are wrong fill it with lies.

hope in the world. I drove to Benzob Hospital, the hospital that I was born in. My brother Lorenzo Jr. Was born in, and my youngest was born in. I went to Bentov Hospital and demanded answers, but no one could give me, could give them to me. I learned of my father's passing from a news report on social media. Not the hospital, not law enforcement. Through a collective effort from local organizations and elected officials, we got answers. My father's death was confirmed. I had to call my mom right away to give her the terrible news of my dad's passing before she had to find out the same same way I did. My father was a simple man, a family man, a man of routine. He dedicated his life in the United States to giving his family the American dream. He raised my brothers and I on the idea of education taking us so far in life. So through his hard work and inspiration, he saw me attend the University of Houston and graduate from the saw Lorenzo Jr attend and graduate Tufts University in Boston. And my youngest, who is out of state, who goes to college out of state, who still relied on my father for financial assistance for his tuition. All of us are all three brothers, all three of his sons, American citizens, his pride and joy, highly educated. After nearly 35 years of working to give us the American dream, he made the choice to begin the process of obtaining his American dream through a work permit. We dotted every I, crossed every T, filled every document, attended every appointment. He was close to obtaining his legal status. My father was a private man, a man who dedicated his life to work. He worked the last 30 years of his life building homes in the Houston suburbs. Part of his dream was to build a house for himself and his family, just like the hundreds he had built for himself over his career. One that he could call home, one that he can call ours, our home. And he did. After he. He built his own house with his crew composed of family members and other loved ones. He achieved it after it was built up. After it was built and up until last weekend. You can find him every evening after work, resting on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. That's how I want the world to know my father not as someone who got shot and killed, but as a family man, a man who understood that good things come to those who put in hard work. I am deeply heartbroken to see that the man who taught me the value of hard work, family values and education will no longer spend an evening on that porch.

Reporter Lydia Teresa
I have a devastating update. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family members have been unable to claim his body. It appears that immigration officers stripped him of any form of ID after he was shot and eventually transferred to the hospital, which led to him being classified as a John Doe. As you could imagine, being able to claim their father's body is a priority for his children right now.

Host/Reporter
It should also be noted at the same time, I'll show you what went down in a Chicago suburb of St. Charles as ICE agents smashed a handcuffs man's face into a stone wall, then assaulted a US citizen multiple times once they realized they were filming. You'll see multiple ICE agents have a man in handcuffs. While he is completely under their control and not resisting, they smash his face into a stone wall, a US Citizen and began asking for the man's name while filming. Note that he's not interfering or blocking the agents or preventing the arrest. But that doesn't stop the ICE Nazi terrorist Gestapo agents from chasing after him while another agent threatens him with a Taser. As the citizen is actively backing away, the agent continues walking towards him, aggressively shoves him backwards. Even after the detained man is being escorted to the vehicle and the legal observer is nowhere near the agents, that same ICE agent continues shoving the the US Citizen for no apparent reason, just for watching.

Here's what Zoran Mamdani, New York City mayor, just said. Abolish ICE. Lorenzo Salgado Arojo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door. New York City stands with this Elgato family and demanding a full independent investigation and real accountability to the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear. We grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice. Abolish ice. Kamala Harris says Lorenzo Salgato Arojo's family called him el mundo in tero the whole world. He was shot and killed by ICE agents on his way to work. Many of us have seen the horrifying video of him crying out in pain. And we continue to be outraged by the horrific and cruel actions of ICE under the Trump regime administration. Doug and I and send my prayers are with Lorenzo's family, his three sons and all those who loved and knew him. I join his son Ronaldo in calling for an immediate independent and transparent investigation. Shouldn't just be abolish ice. It should be criminally prosecute these terrorists. And we should not hold back and mince words. They are terrorists. They are terrorists. That's who they are. These are. This is domestic terrorism. Against against people here. It's sickening hit.
