Mexican man killed in Houston ICE shooting was not the target of operation, lawmaker says

Mexican man killed in Houston ICE shooting was not the target of operation, lawmaker says. A Texas congresswoman says a Mexican man living in the U.S. who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was not the person federal authorities had been looking for. The agency has said Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle and that a federal officer fired a weapon in self-defense. Asked whether ICE agents had been specifically targeting Salgado Araujo, DHS said earlier Thursday that officers had been surveilling a property. "We've got to do something. This is just one more death too many," Garcia said in an interview with MS Now. "And if we've got to bring outside, independent folks to come in and look at it, we should do that." In a statement, DHS said the agents at the scene in Houston had not yet been issued body cameras, which it blamed on Democrats and a record government shutdown. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return an email seeking comment late Thursday.
