A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a Mexican man in Houston

A tragic incident occurred in Houston, where an officer of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) fatally shot a man identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during an arrest operation.

The Department of Homeland Security stated that Araujo, a Mexican citizen, attempted to hit an agent with his car, ignoring orders to stop. The man was transported to the hospital but later died.

The FBI office in Houston is investigating the case, and local organizations are calling for a transparent investigation. Criticism of ICE's actions has increased, and the Houston City Council passed an ordinance to limit cooperation with the agency, but was forced to change its position under pressure from the Texas governor. Since the beginning of the crackdown campaign, several armed incidents involving federal officers have been reported, and video evidence has often contradicted official statements.
