Daniel Pantoja’s Legal Battle | Houston News
Description
Daniel Tirado Pantoja remains locked up as his immigration case unfolds, caught in a legal tug-of-war where federal authorities insist he must stay detained due to entering the U.S. without inspection — despite his lawyers arguing it violates his constitutional rights. The drama intensified after ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a traffic stop involving Daniel and two others; Daniel is now a key witness in the investigation and is also applying for a U-visa. His case mirrors that of Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, who was recently released after a similar legal battle — but got a different judge. Lorenzo’s family is urging Daniel’s release so he can help with the probe. With a critical deadline looming on August 21st for both Daniel’s bond hearing and immigration court date, his team races against time — hoping for a ruling before a related case heads to a higher court.
