The members are demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) halt removal proceedings against the witnesses.\n\nIn their letter, the Members wrote, \u201cBoth of these incidents have created enormous fear and outrage in the community, and raise serious questions about the safety of community members, regardless of immigration status. DHS agents have shot at least 22 people just since the start of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term. Six of these shootings have been fatal, resulting in the death of U.S. citizens and individuals with no criminal records.\u201d\n\nThey continued, \u201cIn several of these cases, DHS and its component agencies made unsubstantiated allegations about individuals its agents have shot and even killed, including Ren\u00e9e Good, Alex Pretti, Ruben Ray Martinez, Marimar Martinez, and Julio Sosa-Celis. DHS claimed that the shooting victims were attacking law enforcement officers, attempting to \u2018weaponize\u2019 their vehicles, and even called them domestic terrorists. In each case, evidence later emerged that contradicted these claims, showing that DHS representatives made false statements and DHS agents acted inappropriately, resulting in several cases against DHS\u2019s victims to be dismissed with prejudice. As such, Trump\u2019s DHS has lost the trust of the American people and can no longer be considered a reliable source of facts.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are calling for immediate independent investigations into both of these deaths, without interference\u2026 Far too many people, Americans and noncitizens alike, are dead as a result of DHS\u2019s reckless actions. There must be accountability and independent investigations,\u201d the lawmakers concluded.", 1, "2026-07-18T06:58:50Z", "2026-07-18T07:00:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/pappas-demands-independent-investigations-into-killings-of-lorenzo-salgado-araujo-johan-sebastian-guerrero"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4016670174896717, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
