I do think the racial component is way too important to not emphasize it. This is happening nation-wide and, in the USA, 61% of the people is considered white, black people amount for 12% and native, mixed and other Hispanics, which are probably Latinos, are ~10% of the population, yet, these account for ~50% of the murders.

Pretti and Goodman were killed because they opposed to ICE, not because they were brown people, but most were murdered in custody and they were not white.
