Washington Post··10 Jul
Migrants who saw Lorenzo Salgado Araujo killed by an ICE officer in Houston on July 7 told The Washington Post the driver did not veer toward the officer, the newspaper reported July 10. DHS alleged he ignored commands and attempted to ram an officer who fired in self-defence. Salgado Araujo, a Mexican homebuilder, was not the operation's intended target.
