One of the witnesses to the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo has been released from federal immigration custody after a federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to discharge him.
Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego left the Montgomery ICE Processing Center in Conroe, north of Houston, on Wednesday — within the 48 hour window the judge’s Monday order gave DHS to set him free. He had been held in the facility since the July 7 shooting.
