You Could Be Next: Trump’s Gestapo Tactics Are Getting Worse

You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.

One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.

The other was Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. Durán Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as Durán Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that Durán Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.

None of these murders has been fully investigated.

Second fatal ICE-involved shooting in six days comes as investigation in Pretti and Good‘s deaths continues in Minnesota

Another person was killed during an encounter involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, in Biddeford, Maine earlier today on July 13, 2026. This shooting comes only six days after ICE agents fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas.

The most recent shooting comes as the Justice Department has turned over a substantial amount of evidence from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Monday, as reported by the Star Tribune.

What we know so far about the fatal ICE shooting of a Mexican father in Houston

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said an agent opened fire after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow verbal commands during a a traffic stop that was part of a “targeted operation” Tuesday.

But attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra said three men detained during the operation told him the version of events presented by ICE is false.

“At no point did they use the van to ram into the ICE agents and at no point were these ICE agents’ lives ever in any danger,” Balderas-Ibarra said in a video posted to his Instagram.
