Immigration authorities are asking witnesses to self-deport after a federal agent in Texas fatally shot a Mexican man who had lived in the U.S. for 35 years, according to an advocacy group supporting the men and their families.
The men who witnessed the shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — his brother and two of their co-workers — spoke to their family members while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, where officers are urging them to sign paperwork for their removal from the country, according to Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens.
