Man killed by ICE agents not intended target of immigration arrest, DHS says

Agents seeking different person when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Mexican who had lived in US for 35 years

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a man killed by federal immigration agents during a traffic stop in Houston this week, was not the intended target of the “enforcement operation”, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were reportedly seeking two people from Guatemala when they attempted to stop Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant who had lived in the United States for 35 years, the New York Times reported.
