The brother of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Mexican construction worker fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston last week, has been ordered to appear before an immigration judge and is likely to be placed in removal proceedings, even as local prosecutors seek to keep him in the United States as a key witness in the shooting investigation.
Victor Salgado has been detained at the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe since July 7, the day his brother was killed during what Immigration and Customs Enforcement initially described as a "targeted enforcement" operation. ICE has since acknowledged Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was not the person agents were seeking.
