YouTube -- Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot Teardown - Munro Live. Detail is likely of most interest to mechanical engineers, but how the bot is put together has general interest. It's a trending manufacturing sector.

The video begins with the humanoid robot intact, moving, and then - the autopsy table. Joints here and there, engineering decisions, it should interest general readers.

 

 

ICE agents in Houston did a targeted interception, did not wear body cameras, and killed their target individual.

 Why no body Cameras? Blame the Democrats.

In a statement, DHS said the agents at the scene in Houston had not yet been issued body cameras, which it blamed on Democrats and a record government shutdown that was fueled by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

DHS, which oversees ICE, has said federal officers were conducting a targeted operation to arrest a person in the country without legal status when they attempted to stop a vehicle driven by Salgado Araujo. The agency has said Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle and that a federal officer fired a weapon in self-defense.

And pigs can fly. It is inexcusible that a targeted interception did not have goons issued body cams. It is as if a provocation was in the planning.

 So end with a question a chat bot answered no, but nowhere found online in any post on point - Is the new world screw worm fly the "blue tailed fly" of an aging tune?

It's all about America, and the one tune within that last link, it's captioning was done by America-made AI.

ICE in the news. Again the "tried to ram the officer" story, but Renee Good had video proving that story was a false concoction. But she's as dead as if in her case it had been true.

 

What to know about the fatal shooting of a Houston man by an ICE officer

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family joined civil rights activists in calling for a full, independent investigation.

In part:

The ICE version of events, released hours after the shooting, is that Salgado Araujo was shot after he ignored commands and attempted to ram an officer who fired his weapon in self-defense. The agency has not released any video, photos or additional information since that initial statement.

A video shot by bystander Juliet Martinez shows the aftermath of the shooting. A black vehicle is angled toward a white van, their doors wide open. A bleeding and handcuffed man groans loudly on the ground and his leg shakes. Other federal officers stand over at least three other handcuffed men.

 [...] Salgado Araujo and his wife came to America after meeting in their teens in Mexico and deciding they wanted a better life for their future family, his son Ronaldo Salgado said.

The father of three built houses in the Houston suburbs, started his own business and established his own crew. He had no criminal record, his family said.

Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son, became a teacher. He said one of his brothers is an engineer and the other is studying engineering in college.

 [...] 

At least 8 deaths so far in the immigration crackdown

Salgado Araujo was at least the eighth person to die during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign. No immigration officers have been charged in the deaths and video footage in several previous shootings contradicts the accounts of federal officers.

The most well-known of the killings happened during the winter crackdown in Minnesota where U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot and killed during protests.

Two other shooting deaths happened during traffic stops, including Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, who was killed in Texas in March 2025. His death was not disclosed for nearly a year.

A farmworker fell from the roof of a greenhouse and broke his neck in California and two of the deaths involved men hit by vehicles as they tried to run away.

Mexico plans to file criminal charges over deaths of its citizens

President Claudia Sheinbaum said it is time to escalate Mexico’s complaints beyond diplomatic channels after the killing of Salgado Araujo.

“We are going to do everything in our power, because we cannot stand silent” in the face of the deaths of Mexicans “whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,” Sheinbaum said.

Mexico will file criminal charges in U.S. courts over the alleged killing of three Mexicans during ICE operations and the deaths of another 14 in ICE custody, Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said Thursday during a presidential press conference.

The complaints, filed against whoever is found responsible for the deaths, will be submitted to state prosecutor offices and the U.S. Department of Justice. They will be accompanied by civil actions against the companies that operate detention centers to put an end to human rights violations, Velasco said.

Concerns arise about who will investigate the shooting

Homeland Security said Tuesday that the department’s Inspector General’s office was investigating the shooting.

Salgado Araujo’s family and civil rights leaders have demanded an independent probe.

Steven Miller's sick chessboard, brought to you by Donald J. Trump.

 UPDATE: Related AP feed per PioneerPress: https://www.twincities.com/2026/07/09/mexico-ice-killings-charges/

 

Federal agents kill in Memphis. Not ICE/Border Patrol. Something else, but federal boots on the ground, a Republican Governor, but a Dem mayor.

 It has an appearance of Steven Miller race hate, which did not work out well, being repurposed. There's going to be more news out of this, so for now, it may not be Miller race hate, but IS federal entry and killing in a Democratic led city.

The story will grow legs. PiPress carries the AP feed

UPDATE: To Flesh things out Crabgrass did - search = federal boots on the ground memphis killings

The first two hits help greatly, second, https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/03/president-trumps-memphis-safe-task-force-delivers-crushing-blow-to-crime/ 

 That one shows the Trump story of what he's up to - where the GOP guv can give Trump the Tennessee National Guard participation that ICE in Minnesota were denied because there Gov and mayor were Dems. 

Also, crime hysteria, instead of migrant hysteria, but it's the SOS, or seems to be.

First hit on that search: https://www.memphisflyer.com/reactions-to-national-guards-boots-on-the-ground-in-memphis/ -- which states:

As news and sightings of National Guard troops in Memphis begin to emerge, reactions — both good and bad — are starting to emerge. 

The Mighty 990 on Facebook:
“White House: Things Are About to Change in Memphis

“13 federal agencies are boots-on the-ground in Memphis as the White House makes good on a promise to declare war on crime in the Bluff City. Have you seen the National Guard yet?” 

Conservative talk show host Todd Starnes:
“BULLETIN: The liberation of Memphis is under way. The National Guard has arrived and so has the national media. And God bless this great 901 Patriot who dropped a truth bomb on CNN! Welcome to my hometown!”

(The post came with a clip from CNN showing a man holding a sign that read “Democrats destroyed Memphis.”)

Shelby County General Sessions Clerk Tami Sawyer:
“News reports say the National Guard itself will not arrive for two weeks, but the ‘Make Memphis whatever DJT wants it to be’ Task Force is already here. This includes hundreds of officers and agents flown in from 13 federal agencies across the country. Already, 219 officers have been federally deputized to expand their powers, and U.S. Marshals Director Gady Serralta is on the ground in Memphis, chairing the task force.

“This operation is not about safety. It is about control. It has no clear metrics, no exit strategy, and no transparency. Memphis is being used as a test case and a blueprint for how to justify federal crackdowns in other cities like Portland and Chicago. When crime is actually trending down in certain categories, they inflate a narrative of crisis to militarize our neighborhoods.

“The impact is real. It means disruption of daily life, increased surveillance, and intimidation for ordinary Memphians. Latinx and immigrant communities are especially at risk of profiling and harassment. People experiencing homelessness and those struggling with mental illness are also likely to be targeted, criminalized, and swept into a system that punishes instead of offers treatment and support. And with no end date in sight, we face the danger of permanent militarization without oversight.

“We are not powerless. Local organizers under the umbrella of #FreeThe901 are mobilizing, setting up legal rights networks, rapid response systems, and demanding compliance with civil rights protections. The more people who stay aware and connected, the stronger we are.”

Community Organizer Amber Sherman:
“The National Guard is expected to be in Memphis within two weeks. They are not even here yet. But you see who is here already? The U.S. Marshals, FBI, ATF, DEA, HSI, ICE, and more. They are doing lots of traffic stops. Avoid these areas they are saturating: [listed neighborhoods ...]

 ACLU-Tennessee:
“President Trump and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee are deploying National Guard troops and federal agents into Memphis. 
Now more than ever, it is essential for every Memphian to know their rights when interacting with military and law enforcement.”

State Rep. Justin J. Pearson:
“[Stephen Miller’s] words and their actions don’t make me feel safer. I’m praying for our city and the over-policed Black and brown people in our community, particularly. We know racial profiling has been made allowable by the Supreme Court and many innocent people will be targeted just as happened during the terrorizing era of stop and frisk. This is not how democracies should operate. We are not enemies of the government. The government is supposed to be governed by the people. We must resist and persist. #Freethe901

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-9):
“Memphians are not enemies; they are Americans. They are entitled to constitutional rights, not their government working to ‘intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill’ them.

“We are not a training ground or target practice. ‘Maximum lethality’ is no way to treat fellow Americans.

“Memphis is one of America’s great cities with world-renowned cultural gifts, generous people, and a vibrant community.

“If the real purpose of the Memphis Safety Task Force is public safety, we must be more collaborative [...]

With NATO meetings, airplane swaps, Platner angst, and just new exchange of fire in Persian Gulf region; this shit is being done with staged distractions, and it needs to be fully aired as to wtf Trump is up to. This is in our nation, not a forever foreign war, but a forever intrusion against the Democratic run cities of America, for very, very dubious cause.

It really, absent developing of unlikely contrary evidence, seems to be recently sprung cloning into more Steven Miller war on America. Presuming it is that, it should stop!

Again, the story will flesh out, but for now it looks as if Trump is batshit crazy. 

With an election coming and Trump minions intent on voter intimidation tactics and effort to have a Trump-rigged election. This is treason, top down, if you view it that way. Implausible denial does exist, but it's fucking Trump doing evil, yet again in Crabgrass' opinion. 

 =================

So from the dates of items, the Memphis situation has a history, but the two killings in four days reported by AP (PiPress link) is new, not the entire operation. 

Until this new AP report, Crabgrass has been unaware of things which reach back into last year. 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/03/president-trumps-memphis-safe-task-force-delivers-crushing-blow-to-crime/  dates to March 2026, but the killings are recent. One question, federal personnel in Memphis, are they ICE and/or border patrol retreads, or new and/or different boots? New Gestapo, or same old Gestapo?

Parallel current news: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/08/memphis-federal-anticrime-agents-kill-man --- noting, "All four of the deaths have occurred in the last two months."

More search shows it is Stephen Miller's game plan.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/10/02/miller_to_memphis_police_you_are_unleashed_we_are_going_to_bulldoze_the_criminal_element_in_this_city.html 

RealClearPolitics transcribes Millers words, and posts dog and pony video of Miller as a speaker with other Trump minions. Hegseth also spoke. Bondi too. Miller was most inflammatory  

What demographic subpopulation of Memphis would you expect is being targeted? Black and brown? Guardian said four deaths. So four white guys dead? Doubtful? Guardian gives the dead men's names. Not their race. We have to speculate.
