Immmigration Enforcement Houston

Authorities say a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a man in Houston during an operation after he attempted to evade arrest in his vehicle. The Department of Homeland Security said the shooting occurred during a targeted operation Tuesday against a Mexican national, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was in the U.S. without legal permission. It said that the man ignored commands to stop and attempted to ram an agent. The shooting has drawn calls from some local Democratic officials for an independent investigation. This is at least the eighth death from an encounter with federal immigration officials since the start of the Trump administration’s intense immigration enforcement campaign in the U.S.
