Activists took to the streets of New York City to protest the deaths of migrants, demanding justice for victims and accountability from U.S. immigration authorities. The demonstration focused on the killings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, and Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian.

Protesters voiced outrage over what they described as the murder of these individuals, calling for an end to violence against migrants. They specifically targeted the actions and policies of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), accusing the agency of failing to protect vulnerable populations and, in some cases, contributing to their deaths.

The demonstration highlighted the precarious situation faced by migrants and called for greater protections and transparency. Activists emphasized that these deaths are not isolated incidents but part of a larger pattern of systemic issues affecting migrant communities. They urged for thorough investigations and justice for Salgado Araujo, Guerrero, and all other migrants who have lost their lives under similar circumstances.
