Mexico is taking legal action over ICE agents killing an immigrant in North Houston on Tuesday.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Thursday that her government planned to file criminal complaints in the United States over all Mexican citizens who have been killed while being targeted by ICE.
Fourteen Mexican nationals have died in ICE custody, while three have been killed in immigration enforcement operations, including Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, on Tuesday.
“We cannot turn a blind eye to the Mexicans who have died,” Sheinbaum said during a press conference.
She said the purpose of the complaints was to bring accountability to anyone accused of a homicide or of committing human rights violations.
The Mexican government provides help to all of its citizens who ask for it, but “especially to Mexicans whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,” Sheinbaum added.
The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo , an undocumented Mexican immigrant who had lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years, was killed after he didn’t comply with orders from ICE agents, and then “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer.”
It’s a similar excuse to the ones DHS used for the shooting of Marimar Martinez in Chicago last year and the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis in January.
In both of those cases, video footage showed that neither Martinez nor Good tried to use their cars against ICE agents.
The DHS has not provided any evidence to back up its claim in Salgado Araujo’s case, and has even pressured witnesses to “ self-deport ,” The New Republic found.
Salgado Araujo’s U.S. citizen son Ronaldo discovered his father’s death through social media, and not from the government or medical professionals.
“I saw a video posted on Facebook that he had been shot.
I recognized him immediately,” Ronaldo said, his voice breaking.
“Not from his appearance, but from his voice, crying for help as he lay on the street, bleeding out.”
Hopefully, the Salgado Araujo family will get justice, and hopefully so will the families of Martinez, Good, and Alex Pretti .
