As we reported on Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were involved in an incident on Tuesday morning in Houston where an illegal alien was shot and killed.
On July 7, 2026, at approximately 6:50 AM CT, ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien.
The driver of the vehicle, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—an illegal alien from Mexico—attempted to evade arrest.
From information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense.
The driver was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted.
The driver was transported to the hospital where he passed away from his injuries.
As we reported, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, said she was looking into taking legal action.
During her speech, Sheinbaum left out the alleged attack on authorities by Salgado.
“His only fault was not having papers, even though he had been hired by an American company,” she said, adding that the U.S. government and its agencies have a history of oppressing migrants.
“They don’t have to be in detention centers or for there to be any violence.”
Looks like she left out some rather important alleged points in the matter.

Now we have a couple of Texas Democrats who have weighed in.
First, there's the Democrat running for the Senate in Texas, James Talarico.
Speaking of leaving a few things out, here's what he posted.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three.
He lived in Houston for 35 years.
On his way to work, ICE agents shot and killed him.
His family learned from a video posted online.
There must be accountability.
We need a full, independent investigation.

That, of course, is misleading the public by leaving out what ICE has said.
If you read that, it reads like the agents just decided to shoot him for the heck of it while he drove to work.
If you can't even be straight about that, how can voters trust what you have to say?
That's not going to go over well in Texas with people who are going to know what the Democrat left out.
That was bad, but then there's what Democrat Rep.
Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) said.
This is truly embarrassing.

"So we have learned some lessons," Garcia said.
"Apparently, ICE has learned nothing.
If they really think that a car is going to hurt somebody, I mean, even a kid will tell ya, you shoot the tires, you don't shoot the driver.
If ever there was a facepalm comment, this would be it.
What the heck is she even talking about?
Now we don't know all the facts of the matter yet, but if a car is coming at you, even if you could shoot out tires in the split second you may have to react, that isn't going to stop a moving car.
Does she not know that?
According to reports , Araujo was not the target of the action.
Three other men were detained in the incident.
They claim "a federal officer fired at them almost immediately after he got out of his vehicle, and that the driver didn't veer in his direction at any point."
Here's a wild thought for the Democrats.
How about, instead of immediately attacking and demonizing ICE, you actually pay attention to what they've said and wait for the investigation before you act foolishly?
Then, too, there's another point that the Democrats seem to be missing at this juncture.
The ICE officer who fatally shot Araujo was not wearing a body camera because officers in that field office were not yet equipped with them, according to a DHS spokesperson.
The officers in Houston "had not been issued body-worn cameras due to back-to-back Democrat shutdowns," the spokesperson said, blaming a series of government funding lapses that arose when Congress failed to pass measures to fund department and agency operations.
There was a 43-day government shutdown in late 2025, as well as a separate 76-day DHS shutdown that started in February and ended in April.
The spokesperson said that the shutdown interrupted the body camera procurement process for ICE field offices.
Translation?
If this report is true, then we don't have body cam video to look at here because of the Democrats' delays in passing funding.
Great job, Democrats.
