ICE Agent Gregory Feathers Identified in Fatal Houston Shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

The Texas Tribune has identified Gregory Feathers as the ICE agent who fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston on July 7, 2026. Feathers, a rehired former officer, was named in a mistakenly released federal report and confirmed by witnesses. While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maintains the shooting was self-defense and cites safety concerns for withholding names, local prosecutors are convening a grand jury. Critics and lawmakers argue that federal secrecy contrasts sharply with standard police transparency protocols, demanding accountability for the growing number of unexplained ICE-related deaths.
