Testing clears substance in Houston ICE shooting van of drugs, DA says
TL;DR Summary
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that testing found the substance collected from the van involved in the Houston ICE traffic-stop shooting was not drugs. The FBI had previously indicated the presence of a white substance in the vehicle in a warrant application, while Salgado Araujo’s family argued it was likely salt or an electrolyte mix. The unsealed warrant drew backlash and renewed scrutiny of ICE tactics, though investigators note the shooting is under review and the involved agents were not wearing body cameras.
