Houston Father Killed By ICE Amid Surge In Arrests
On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican construction worker and father, was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Houston, Texas, during a vehicle stop as he was on his way to work.
“My father was a simple man. A family man. A man of routine,” said Ronaldo Salgado, oldest son of Salgado Araujo, during an emotional press conference in response to the incident.
Ronaldo detailed how he scrambled for information the morning of the incident. He drove an hour away to his father’s work site to find neither he nor his workers there.
