WASHINGTON — If she wins her race in November, GOP congressional nominee Alex Mealer will represent Houston’s Magnolia Park, the site where Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by a federal immigration agent earlier this month, potentially bringing the area under different partisan representation mere months after it took center stage in the nation’s immigration debate.
In an interview this week, Mealer addressed the shooting in detail for the first time, expressing full confidence that ongoing investigations by the Texas Department of Public Safety, FBI and Houston police will produce a “fulsome accounting” of what happened.
