Immigration agents were looking for a different person when they shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a traffic stop, officials say.

Man fatally shot by ICE in Texas was not intended target, homeland security says The incident prompted protests in Houston on Wednesday, and four Democratic members of Congress called for an independent investigation into the death of Salgado. In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Representatives Sylvia Garcia, Al Green, Lizzie Fletcher and Christian Menefee wrote that the incident was "not the archetypal clip ICE agents person utilized unnecessary, deadly force". They urged Senator Markwayne Mullin, caput of the Department of Homeland Security, not to conceal the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two U.S. citizens killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. The lawmakers added, "instead of answers and accountability, DHS and ICE released a connection echoing the aforesaid stories we person heard before, claiming an evasion of arrest, weaponisation of a vehicle, and that the fatal shooting was a effect of self-defense". Following the shooting, Mexican authorities said they would file transgression complaints in the United States regarding the deaths of more than a dozen of its citizens in U.S. custody. Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco stated that 14 Mexicans had died while in ICE custody and another three during ICE arrest operations. Velasco said he had been instructed by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum to submit the complaints, and that the aim was to have the deaths of Mexicans in ICE custody or during arrest operations investigated as transgression matters.
