                             ICE SHOOTINGS

  (Mr. Magaziner of Rhode Island was recognized to address the House 
for 5 minutes.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, in the last week, ICE agents shot and 
killed two more innocent people in broad daylight.
  In both cases, the people who they shot and killed weren't even the 
people who they were looking for. In both cases, they shot and killed 
people who were on their way to work in front of their families.
  In Houston last week, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a construction worker 
who has lived in the United States for 35 years, a husband with three 
children, no criminal record, was driving to work with the lunch that 
his wife had packed for him, and his brother riding in the passenger 
seat, when ICE agents rammed his vehicle and shot him because they 
thought he was someone else.
  Yesterday, in Maine, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26 years old, legally 
authorized to work in the United States--legally authorized--was shot 
and killed by ICE agents who thought he was somebody else, in front of 
his wife and his 3-year-old daughter, who screamed and wearing her 
Bluey pajamas, while she watched her father bleed to death.
  How many more innocent people have to be killed in broad daylight? 
How many more children have to watch their parents shot to death by 
masked men too cowardly to show their faces? When will this madness 
stop?
  When he took his position, Secretary Mullin said that his goal was to 
get the Department off the front page of the news. Well, you are back 
on the goddamned front page now with two innocent people gunned down in 
broad daylight. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. It is total 
chaos.
  Do you know what? In both of these shootings in Texas and in Maine, 
none of the agents were wearing their body cameras. Congress gave them 
tens of millions of dollars for body cameras, and none of them were 
wearing them.
  Where is the accountability? Do you want to know why I won't vote to 
give funding to this lawless, reckless, dangerous agency? Mark my 
words. We are not going to be silent about what is happening. We are 
not going to forget until there is justice.
