Detainees tell their lawyer an ICE officer shot a Houston driver through a passenger window

Three men who survived a fatal shooting involving federal immigration officers in Houston say no officer was threatened. A lawyer said Friday that the men told him an officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo through the passenger side window Tuesday during an attempted traffic stop. The Department of Homeland Security says Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle. But attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra says video footage shows no damage to Salgado Araujo's van. ICE hasn't release any other evidence to support their version of events. Balderas-Ibarra says Homeland Security may also try to deport the men quickly so they can't tell their side of the story.
