ICE vigil, rally planned
Indivisible Blair County will host a vigil and rally at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 25, as part of the nationwide "Justice for Lorenzo. Justice for Johan. Justice for All. ICE Out Day of Action." The event will be held at 533 Main St., Bellwood, to remember and mourn the lives of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero, and to demand an end to the systemic violence perpetrated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The national movement follows two recent killings by ICE agents. On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father and worker, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas, while driving a work van. On July 13, ICE agents killed 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, in front of his partner and 3-year-old child.
