Calls for an independent investigation intensified Wednesday after a Mexican construction worker was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during an enforcement operation in Houston, with family members, civil rights advocates and elected officials demanding that federal authorities release video and other evidence from the encounter.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who had lived in the United States for decades and was working toward legal status, was driving a crew of construction workers to a homebuilding site Tuesday morning when he was shot. His family says he had no criminal convictions and insists he would have complied had he known the people stopping him were federal agents.
