One week, two killings: Trump’s immigration crackdown turns deadly – again

Two men were fatally shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the span of a week, reigniting anger over the Trump administration's deportation push, The Guardian reports. Fifty-two-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving to work with his brother and two other passengers in Houston, Texas, when agents began tailing his car, pulled him over, and fired a fatal shot through the open passenger-side window. Six days later in Biddeford, Maine, twenty-six-year-old Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was driving around his neighborhood when agents stopped him at an intersection and shot him dead, right outside the laundromat he often visited with his three-year-old daughter. The Guardian frames both killings as the latest flashpoints in a militarized immigration crackdown.
