But there is no body camera footage, because DHS confirms none of the officers were wearing one.
There is no dashcam footage.
And the three men riding in the van with him say the ICE account is false, that the van never veered toward any agent and that officers fired almost immediately.

Salgado Araujo was not the target. His brother, who was in the van, was not the target either. They stopped him because he drove a white van and, in their words, resembled the man they wanted.
ICE says he tried to run over an officer with his vehicle.
On the morning of July 7, he was driving his construction crew to a job site when an ICE officer shot him during a traffic stop. He died at the hospital.
Here is what the government itself now admits.
DHS confirmed the officers were looking for someone else.
He lived in this country for nearly 35 years. He built homes in Houston. He raised three sons, all American citizens. His family says he had no criminal record and had started the process of getting a work permit.
My grandmother was a lawful permanent resident her whole life.
My grandfather was 50 when he became a citizen. They followed the rules, they earned their place, and they paid what they owed every single year.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was on that same road.
I’m the grandson of Mexican immigrants. They came here, they worked hard, and they built a family.
It is long past time to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. The bill to do it is bipartisan and has broad support in the House. Speaker Johnson said he backs a ban, but has let his own promised timeline come and go with no vote on the floor. The American people deserve action.
Leadership means showing up for people when it counts. The families waiting on this help deserve better than a President this detached from their lives.
Here’s the good news.
This law takes effect at midnight whether he signs it or not, because Congress did its job. Democrats and Republicans came together, delivered for the American people, and made clear they would override any veto.
Families cannot afford homes right now.
While people lie awake worrying about rent and mortgages, the President is picking fights on the internet and treating their struggle like a bargaining chip.
He is completely out of touch with the reality millions of Americans are living every single day.
And the President refuses to sign because the Senate won’t pass a completely unrelated voter suppression bill he wants. He’s throwing a tantrum and calling members of his own party names on online.
This is a grown man acting like a petulant child, stamping his feet because he can’t get his way.
It passed both chambers by overwhelming margins.
Congress spent months negotiating the most significant bipartisan housing bill in a generation, one that finally cracks down on Wall Street speculators buying up single-family homes, cuts red tape, and helps families struggling with the cost of living.

Trump is trying to resurrect a rejected century old plan to erect something towering in his own image, a 250 foot arch, right at the gateway to Arlington National Cemetery.
He claims Congress authorized it a century ago. That claim falls apart the moment you check the record.
That is the “vision” Trump is citing. A design that was rejected almost 95 years ago.
Arlington is sacred ground, and no president should be allowed to wall it off with a monument to himself that Congress never approved.

What Congress actually approved in 1925 was a bridge and two 166 foot columns. Not an arch.
The columns were never built. President Hoover scratched them from the plans in 1931 after the Commerce Department warned they could endanger aircraft.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
It’s easy for the president to say everyone is doing great.
It’s easy to wave off the strain families are feeling at the grocery store, the gas pump, the pharmacy counter.
It’s easy to not care how Americans are actually making ends meet when you just raked in $2 billion in personal profits.
Grateful to the brave crews battling the Pipeline Fire on Camp Pendleton and thinking of everyone on base.
These firefighters are running toward danger and working around the clock to protect our Marines, base families, and surrounding communities.
We owe them our deepest thanks.
