From Daniel Dawer and Ruth Kravetz: Nearly 2,000 juniors at 16 high schools in Houston ISD were pulled from Algebra II and placed in remedial math. At some schools, about 70% of juniors were similarly demoted into less challenging classes. It wasn't due to poor grades ... https://www.texasobserver.org/the-houston-miracle-shell-game/ #education #Houston #GulfCoast #Texas #politics #USpol #news

New from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: In an attempt to overcomply with #Texas law, the University of #Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum. It won't be enough to appease extremist Republicans. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/ #education #TXlege #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #women #GulfCoast #law #politics #USpol #news

The Harris County DA's office is investigating the potential that any number of crimes may have occurred, including murder, manslaughter, and tampering with evidence. If the office is able to build a case, attorneys could present it to a grand jury. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-ice-killing-district-attorney-trump/ #ICE #Houston #GulfCoast #Texas #law #news

In the weeks after the fatal shooting in #Houston’s predominantly Hispanic east side, local authorities have struggled to stake their claim on an investigation into a killing within the most populous #Texas city’s limits. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-ice-killing-district-attorney-trump/ #ICE #law #GulfCoast #news

https://youtube.com/shorts/OdxXcdOSnQQ Rosa Flores from @msnownews@bird.makeup lists five things you need to know about the fatal #ICE #shooting of #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo in #Houston. Some were new to me. ICE #Agents swapping #guns and the #FBI interviewing only one witness. I live in the Houston metro area, and, although I don't watch TV, I follow our local stations.

New from Michelle Pitcher: Local officials' attempts to investigate the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo have been stonewalled at every turn. They've even consulted with Minneapolis for tips on forcing #ICE to face justice. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-ice-killing-district-attorney-trump/ #police #Houston #GulfCoast #politics #USpol #news

The substance collected from the van driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo when he was shot & #killed by an #ICE agent during a traffic stop in #Houston this month was NOT drugs, acc/to a spox for the Harris County DA’s Office. This comes after the #FBI filed a warrant application saying the agency had cause to believe that an investigator found illegal drugs in the vehicle after the July 7 #shooting that killed the 52-yr-old Mexican #immigrant & longtime #Texas #resident. #Trump #law #immigration

And predictably, it was BS Witnesses of #ICE Killing in #Houston Dispute the #Trump Admin’s Account #DHS said a Mexican immigrant driving a van tried to ram agents before they shot him dead. A lawyer for three passengers said that was untrue. #law #immigration #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #DueProcess #ExcessiveForce #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #HumanRights #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #AbuseOfPower #fascism #tyranny #MafiaState #WhiteSupremacy https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/us/houston-ice-shooting-witnesses.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Three men who witnessed #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo’s killing by federal #immigration officers in #Houston disputed #DHS’s account of the shooting & said the victim never attempted to run over a federal agent. The men, who were inside the vehicle, were arrested during the Tuesday encounter & spoke from immigration #detention with their lawyer, Hugo Balderas-Ibarra. #Trump #law #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #fascism #WhiteSupremacy

Another #vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is happening this Saturday on July 11th at 10am at the SEIU Texas Office, 3219 Harrisburg Blvd., Houston, TX 77003. If Houstonians were unable to attend last night's vigil, this is another opportunity to mourn and join with community. 🕯️🧡 #Houston #HTX #ICE #murder #ICEout #TX #Texas

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: • Had no criminal convictions • Had been working in the US for 35 years building houses • Was working, driving a crew to a homebuilding site when killed • Was a husband and father • Had three American sons that he sent to college • Was worried about people in unmarked vehicles stealing his tools... When he was shot by #ICE, who claimed without proof that he rammed their unmarked vehicle. #USA #Texas #Houston --- https://apnews.com/article/ice-houston-shooting-lorenzo-salgado-araujo-2d01ba69caf2445f05005096891ba5b2

Oh great ICE killed another person today under circumstances similar to Renee Good. ICE claims the alleged migrant they were attempting to kidnap "weaponized his vehicle" when ICE goons used that excuse to murder the man. https://www.tpr.org/news/2026-07-07/ice-agent-fatally-shoots-man-in-houston-during-targeted-enforcement-operation #ICE #FuckICE #chingalamigra #Texas #Houston

#ICE agent fatally shot a motorist in #Houston, #Texas Tuesday during an attempt by officers to stop the man's vehicle, according to ICE [so, probably BS]. The man shot to death was identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, described by ICE as a Mexican national & "illegal alien" who attempted to evade arrest ​during a "targeted enforcement operation" by federal immigration officers. #Trump #immigration #law #UseOfForce #ExtraJudicialKillings #murder #Sturmabteilung #fascism https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ice-agent-fatally-shoots-mexican-motorist-texas-during-vehicle-stop-agency-says-2026-07-07/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=2025_engagement
