Protestors demand accountability after fatal ICE shooting in East End (July 9, 2026)

On Thursday's show: More than 1,000 protesters gathered on Canal Street Wednesday night demanding answers after 36-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston's Magnolia Park neighborhood Tuesday morning.

We speak with two elected officials who represent the area: Houston City Council Member Joaquin Martinez and State Senator Carol Alvarado: District 6, about the shooting, the community's response, and what comes next.

Also this hour, East End residents discuss how this week's shooting has intensified longstanding frustrations over public safety, policing, and the challenges facing their neighborhood.

Then, we examine America's relationship with guns and gun violence with longtime public radio host David Greene, who's screening his new documentary, Louder Than Guns, in Houston tonight.

And we preview the latest episode of the podcast, After the Flood, a podcast collaboration of The Texas Newsroom and the PBS series Frontline.
