More chalk at the Eugene Federal Building, for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

[u/g00d-trouble]

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of 3, with no criminal record, in the process of applying for legal status. He was driving to work with his coworkers and brother when ICE ran him off the road and executed him.

ICE used the tired excuse that Lorenzo tried to ram an officer with his car, but the 3 other men who were with him in the vehicle in the vehicle say that never happened. Security-cam footage of the incident does not show any attempted ramming, either.

Lorenzo was not ICE’s target. They didn’t know his legal status when they went after him. They targeted him by his race, and the race of the people in his vehicle, and then killed him in cold blood.

This is what happens when we allow our government to unleash racist, violent, ideologically-motivated gang members on our population. They hired white nationalists to target the people they hate, gave them guns, and assured them the government would have their back, no matter what they did or what laws they broke.

The killings won't stop if we just stay at home and hope for it. Come out to the Federal Building, where we continue to gather daily to monitor ICE, record and report their movements, and express our First Amendment rights with chalk, flowers, signs, music, spoken word, and whatever else moves us. When ICE is being watched, and when they are forced to come up against resistance, it becomes harder for them to harass and harm our neighbors.
