Episode Details

A witness to a fatal ICE shooting in Houston has been released from detention, sparking outrage and calls for justice. Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, who was in a work van when driver Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot, claims the official account is false. A federal judge blocked his deportation and ordered his release, though prosecutors are appealing. Now wearing an ankle monitor, Rojas Pliego paid respects to his former boss, describing how ICE agents followed them to work and failed to provide immediate aid—instead handcuffing and pushing down the injured man. The Department of Homeland Security initially claimed the driver tried to run over an officer, but witnesses say agents were beside the van. Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old father of three with no criminal record and nearly ready for legal status, died from his injuries. This tragedy is part of a wave of at least ten deaths during recent immigration enforcement operations, fueling protests and demands for an independent investigation.
