Van Substance Was Salt, Not Drugs | El Paso News
Description
A shocking twist in the case of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, fatally shot by an ICE officer, reveals lab tests confirmed the white substance in his van was not methamphetamine — it was salt. This directly contradicts the FBI’s warrant application, fueling suspicion that the search was used to justify lethal force. Witnesses and family insist Salgado was just heading to work, not fleeing, and say the officer opened fire without threat. With no bodycam footage and ICE agents unaccounted for, the family’s lawyer argues the salt was meant to mislead — a setup to discredit Salgado and his supporters. As the DA stays silent and federal agencies refuse to comment, this case highlights the growing controversy around immigration enforcement and deadly encounters on the road.
