## Resource

A Houston construction worker, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was fatally shot by an ICE officer during a high-stakes chase—claimed by DHS as self-defense after the van allegedly rammed their vehicle. But witnesses say no agent was in front of the van, and the fatal shot came through a passenger window. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide, and Salgado wasn’t even the target ICE was looking for. The van reportedly contained bags of a white powder—suspected to be meth—but the DA says it’s likely a homemade electrolyte drink. With no body cameras or video, multiple agencies are investigating amid growing scrutiny. This tragic incident is part of a troubling trend: at least ten deaths in ICE encounters since the current administration began. Following two fatal shootings, ICE paused vehicle stops nationwide—but President Trump is pushing to reverse that policy.
