Two passengers in a van shot by an ICE officer in Houston claim the officer was not in danger and the driver was parking when shots were fired, contradicting the government's assertion that the driver weaponized his vehicle. The deceased driver, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was a 52-year-old immigrant with no criminal record, and his killing sparked protests and calls for an independent investigation. Three passengers were detained and filed habeas corpus petitions challenging their immigration confinement.
