Congressional Committee to Hold Hearing in Houston After ICE Fatal Shootings
Gutierrez wants DPS to explain its role after an ICE agent fatally shot a 52-year-old father of three, prompting protests and calls for an inquiry.
- On Tuesday, July 7, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston during a traffic stop. The Department of Homeland Security alleges Salgado Araujo "weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over" an agent.
- Homeland Security stated they received a "credible tip" from unspecified "law enforcement partners" that prompted agents to surveil a Houston residence. Officials later admitted Salgado Araujo was not the intended target of the operation.
- Three passengers in the van disputed the official narrative, stating agents rammed their vehicle and fired from the side. ICE vehicles lacked dashcams and agents wore no body cameras, according to U.S. Representative Sylvia Garcia.
- Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare launched an independent investigation but faced federal stonewalling. Teare stated "no one on the state level knows who they were or where they are right now," calling the situation unacceptable.
- State Senator Roland Gutierrez demanded the Texas Department of Public Safety detail its collaboration with federal agents in the shooting. Teare cautioned the investigation could take many months or potentially years to yield answers.
