Witnesses dispute ICE account in Houston shooting, say no officer stood in front of van
TL;DR
Three witnesses dispute ICE’s version of the July 7 fatal shooting in Houston, saying no agent was in front of the white van when it was fired upon and that the officer shot from the side. ICE maintains self-defense after Salgado Araujo allegedly weaponized his vehicle; witnesses say there was no dash or body camera video. The inspector general and FBI are investigating, and Houston officials call for an independent probe. The attorney for the witnesses warns they could face deportation pressure to testify, highlighting concerns about the investigation’s integrity.
