The Briefing

• Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke headlined an overflow crowd at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston's Third Ward on October 20, the second day of Texas early voting, as part of Sanders' national "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.
• ICE agent Gregory Feathers has been publicly identified as the officer who fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Canal Street on July 7 — yet 105 days later, no criminal charges have been filed; Harris County has committed $2.5 million to an independent investigation.
• O'Rourke labeled ICE enforcement "Gestapo tactics," giving the Salgado family — who learned of Lorenzo's death through a social media video — a platform-backed name for what they have demanded accountability for since that July morning.
