Man fatally shot by ICE in Houston was not intended target, DHS says
Man fatally shot by ICE in Houston was not intended target, DHS says
A Mexican national was killed by immigration agents during a traffic stop, with the Department of Homeland Security stating the officer acted in self-defense.
- DHS said the stop was initiated because agents saw a white van with an individual who resembled the target of an operation, and that the officer fired in self-defense.
- Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, was driving to work with three co-workers on July 7 when ICE agents stopped the van and fatally shot him.
- Passengers in the van disputed the DHS account, stating no agent stood in front of the vehicle or was ever placed in danger.
- The DHS Office of Inspector General has opened an investigation, and Mexico's government said it would file criminal complaints over the deaths of 14 Mexicans in ICE custody and three during ICE arrest operations.
