The family of a man who was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent in Houston is holding a public vigil Thursday evening, in response to what the man's son says is an outpouring of support amid renewed criticism of enforcement tactics.
The ceremony for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who was fatally shot last Tuesday by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer while driving his construction crew to a job site in Houston, comes amid mounting scrutiny on President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown. Encounters with ICE have resulted in at least 10 deaths since the start of Trump's second term last year — two of which happened in the days after a federal agent killed Salgado Araujo.
