#ICE agent fatally shot a motorist in #Houston, #Texas Tuesday during an attempt by officers to stop the man's vehicle, according to ICE [so, probably BS].
The man shot to death was identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, described by ICE as a Mexican national & "illegal alien" who attempted to evade arrest during a "targeted enforcement operation" by federal immigration officers.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Federal officials said they were stopping the vehicle in an #immigration enforcement operation. Ronaldo Salgado said his father may have been scared that the people in unmarked vehicles were coming to steal the tools he had used for 35 years to build homes, from sunrise to sunset, so he could send his three American sons to college.

in reply to Nonilex • • •“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot & killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father & a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream,” Salgado said during a news conference.

#DHS said a Mexican immigrant driving a van tried to ram agents before they shot him dead. A lawyer for three passengers said that was untrue.
