Witnesses dispute ICE account in Houston shooting, say no officer stood in front of van

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.

Jurors Start Deliberations in Federal Sex-Trafficking Trial of Alexander Brothers

Jurors began deliberations in the federal sex-trafficking trial of Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander after five weeks of testimony in which prosecutors presented more than 30 witnesses alleging a two-decade scheme of coercion, gifts and drugging to victimize women, including minors. The brothers, who face 10 charges and potential life in prison, deny the accusations; the defense portrays them as boisterous playboys and argues alibis as two charges were dropped and evidence includes texts, emails and a blog.
