An illegal immigrant from Mexico was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Houston, Texas, after allegedly trying to run over agents with his vehicle.
“On July 7, 2026, at approximately 6:50 AM CT, ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien,” ICE stated on Tuesday.
“The driver of the vehicle, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—an illegal alien from Mexico—attempted to evade arrest,” the spokesperson continued.
ICE added that the driver had “rammed” his car into an ICE vehicle and did not respond to verbal commands. He then “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer, resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense.”
