Three detainees in a van claim an ICE officer shot a Houston driver through a passenger window, contradicting the officer's account of self-defense. The driver, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, had no criminal record and was close to legal status, while ICE has not provided evidence supporting its version of events. The incident has drawn criticism of ICE's operations and the Trump administration's immigration policies.

A Mexican man, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was fatally shot by ICE officers during a Houston traffic stop. Authorities claim he rammed an ICE vehicle, but three men in the van and their attorney dispute this, stating he was not the target and was shot through a passenger window. His family says he had no criminal record and was close to obtaining legal status, while ICE detained his brother and others, pressuring them to self-deport. DHS calls the allegations false.
