Judge Blocks Deportation of Witness | Dover News
Description
A federal judge has halted deportation of a key witness in a deadly Houston shooting involving ICE officers, protecting Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego as his legal battle unfolds. The incident, which killed 52-year-old father-of-three Lorenzo Araujo Salgado, has sparked controversy over whether officers targeted the wrong individuals. Rojas Pliego, who’s lived in the U.S. for decades without legal status, is now seeking special witness visas — a move the DA is supporting, though USCIS approval remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the van’s contents — allegedly drugs, but defended as salt for hydration — and another detained passenger’s similar case add further complexity to an already tense legal and humanitarian situation.
