Sons of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Demand Accountability at Congressional Hearing
His sons urged Congress to probe the shooting and said ICE agents were not wearing body cameras as investigators seek evidence from federal agencies.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican immigrant, was fatally shot by ICE agents during a traffic stop in Houston on July 13, 2026, sparking large protests demanding justice.
Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare stated that the Department of Homeland Security has ignored requests for information, including the identification of the officer who fired the fatal shot.
Democratic members of Congress plan to investigate ICE and push for reforms if they regain control in the November midterm elections.
Salgado Araujo’s sons described learning about their father’s death via Facebook and called for accountability at a congressional hearing.
Two children of a Mexican shot this month by immigration agents in Houston testified Friday in a legislative hearing, describing the horror and confusion of finding out that his father had been murdered, and demanding a transparent investigation into how he died and why.
