The reporting
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston at about 6:50 a.m. Tuesday during an attempted traffic stop tied to a targeted immigration arrest. The Department of Homeland Security said Salgado Araujo was a Mexican national not authorized to be in the United States and was the subject of the enforcement operation. DHS said he tried to flee, rammed an ICE vehicle, ignored commands and attempted to run over an agent, who fired in self-defense.
Analysis & opinion
ICE justifiedMostly Right
ICE agents used deadly force because suspects allegedly endangered officers, including by trying to weaponize vehicles. The backlash from Democrats, the media, and anti-ICE protesters is dishonest or radical, and immigration enforcement should not be weakened because of it.
