The article reports that LULAC says three men detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo are being pressured to sign paperwork agreeing to self-deport. LULAC CEO Juan Proaño says two of the three men are inclined to sign voluntary departure forms. LULAC members have been in contact with the men and are encouraging them to remain in the U.S. so federal investigators can obtain their statements while the case is under review.
The article identifies the three men as Mexican nationals: Salgado Araujo’s brother, Víctor Hugo Salgado Araujo, and two workers, Daniel Tirado Pantoja and José Trinidad Rojas Pliego. Proaño says the men are being held at an ICE detention facility in Conroe, though KPRC 2 says it could not independently confirm the location.
The shooting occurred around 6:50 a.m. Tuesday on Canal Street during an ICE-targeted operation, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The article says DHS identified Salgado Araujo as an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, and that Proaño disputes DHS’s account, asserting “profiling.” The article also notes DHS has confirmed there is no body camera footage and that investigators may rely on witness statements, physical evidence, and available surveillance or cellphone video.
