“THE PUGILIST sincerely hopes the American public of all backgrounds will summon the same outrage for this man’s death that it summoned for Renée Good’s and Alex Pretti’s. His life was worth exactly as much as theirs. So were the lives of Silverio Villegas-González, killed by an ICE agent outside Chicago, and Keith Porter Jr., a Black father and U.S. citizen shot dead by an off-duty ICE officer outside his Los Angeles home — names most Americans have never heard. If the outrage arrives only when the dead are white and hold a passport, then the outrage was never about state violence at all. It was about who is considered fully human in this country. And that selective grief is the racist, xenophobic rot that allowed an agency like ICE to be built, funded, masked, and unleashed in the first place. Readers who feel less for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo than they felt in January should sit with the reason why. The agents counted on it.”
