ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The ICE agent who shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston two months ago has been identified by the Texas Tribune as Gregory Feathers. A candidate for the Austin City Council was dramatically arrested on Saturday for taking part in a protest over the ICE shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin - almost a week after that protest. And CNN details heartbreaking court proceedings in Harlingen, during which unaccompained immigrant children are been screened for deportation.
