[Opinion. Yep. “Weaponising their vehicles”. How is one “shot in the abdomen” when “weaponising their vehicle”??? If this man was “looking to hire workers”, sure doesn’t sound like any kind of illegal to me. One more lie.]

A federal immigration agent fatally shot a driver in Houston on Tuesday morning, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has said.

Agents stopped Lorenzo Salgado Araujo at around 6.50am and tried to arrest him, according to ICE, which described Salgado Araujo as a Mexican national and an “illegal alien” whom the agency was seeking as part of a “targeted enforcement operation”.

According to ICE, Salgado Araujo “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer”. The confrontation resulted in “our officer firing his weapon in self-defense”. ICE did not provide any evidence corroborating its account, which echoes descriptions of other ICE shootings, including the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis and the shooting of two Venezuelan men in Oregon earlier this year. 

Salgado Araujo was shot in the abdomen, according to local law enforcement, and taken to a hospital, where he died.
