Went out to a local record shop picking up some #vinyl for my godson's 18th birthday tomorrow. Stumbled into a #KateWaters concert! Never heard of her but what a great surprise chill afternoon! 😁 She labels herself as soulful Americana. Check her out if that's your jam.

#ICE says agent faced danger in #HoustonTX Witnesses say that’s not what happened
A fatal ICE encounter in Houston is continues questions about transparency, use of force and accountability
By CK Smith, July 11, 2026
"A fatal shooting involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Houston is under growing scrutiny after witnesses challenged the federal government’s account of what happened.
"ICE officials said #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, was shot after he allegedly used his vehicle as a weapon during an enforcement operation.
"But three men who were inside the vehicle with Araujo dispute that account, saying the encounter unfolded differently and that officers were not in the path of the vehicle when shots were fired.
"The conflicting accounts have turned the shooting into another test of transparency and accountability surrounding federal immigration enforcement. The witnesses’ attorney has said their statements contradict the government’s description of the encounter, while officials have maintained that the agent acted in response to a threat, despite reports that #Araujo was not the person ICE was searching for.
"The case is also drawing attention because the witnesses themselves are now part of the immigration enforcement system. The men who were in the vehicle have disputed the official narrative while facing their own potential immigration consequences, raising questions about how investigations involving undocumented witnesses are conducted and whether those witnesses can safely participate.
"The central question now is not simply whether ICE agents had legal authority to use force. It is whether investigators and the public have access to the full picture of what happened."

#Mexico to request criminal charges over deaths following shooting of #HoustonTX man by #ICE
By María Verza, July 9, 2026
MEXICO CITY (AP) — "Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the #Trump administration, officials said Thursday.
"Mexican Foreign Minister #RobertoVelasco’s announcement Thursday morning further escalated tensions with the United States, as Mexico’s government has sharply criticized the treatment of its citizens under U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to increase deportations.
"The request, which carries no legal weight, will be submitted to state prosecutors’ offices and the U.S. Department of Justice, asking them to consider criminal charges against those responsible for the deaths.
"It will be accompanied by civil lawsuits against the companies that operate the #DetentionCenters in an effort to put an end to #HumanRightsViolations in those facilities, Velasco said.
"President #ClaudiaSheinbaum said Thursday that Mexico decided to “move beyond diplomatic channels” and escalate its complaints after an ICE agent killed Mexican citizen #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo in Houston this week. Sheinbaum said the killing 'is not only sad and regrettable, but also appears to have been targeted.'
" 'We are going to do everything in our power, because we cannot stand silent' in the face of the deaths of Mexicans 'whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,' Sheinbaum said."

Gov. Abbott deploys over 5,000 Texas #NationalGuard troops ahead of planned ‘#NoKings’ protests
By JIM VERTUNO
Updated 1:15 PM EDT, June 12, 2025AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — "Texas Gov. #GregAbbott said Thursday he has ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops, along with more than 2,000 state police, to help local law enforcement manage protests against President Donald Trump and the ongoing federal immigration raids.
"Abbott’s announcement did not detail where the troops were sent, but some were seen at a protest Wednesday night in downtown San Antonio near the Alamo. That protest drew hundreds of demonstrators but did not erupt into violence.
"More protests are planned on Saturday in #SanAntonioTX and across Texas in cities such as #HoustonTX, #AustinTX and #DallasTX as part of the national 'No Kings' movement.
"Protests earlier this week in Austin and Dallas led to brief clashes with police who used chemical irritants to disperse the crowds. About a dozen were arrested.
"'Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles in response to President Donald Trump’s enforcement of immigration law,' Abbott said. 'Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be arrested and held accountable to the full extent of the law.' "
