Passengers Speak: ICE Shooting Denied | El Paso News
Description
Two van passengers are now testifying in court that the ICE officer who shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo— a 35-year U.S. resident and homebuilder with no criminal record—was never in front of their vehicle, directly contradicting the government’s self-defense claim. They say ICE officers flanked them from the sides, and one called the official story a lie. The men, now detained in immigration custody, allege they were pursued and struck by ICE vehicles, and are seeking protection visas as witnesses and victims. Their lawyer argues their detention is unconstitutional, especially since they were targeted by the very officers now holding them. Judges have temporarily blocked deportation, buying them critical time as protests erupted and calls for justice grow louder— all while no body camera footage or photos of the fatal shooting have surfaced.
