Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) issued a forceful statement on Wednesday calling on federal immigration enforcement personnel to abstain from “shooting people” during operations, over one week after Texas erupted over a fatal incident.
Eight days after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican citizen, was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Houston, the governor confirmed that the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers are investigating the incident, after Houston Police Chief J. Noe Diaz requested an investigation. The Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General’s Office is investigating the shooting, but Democrats had pushed for an outside investigation, including nearly every Democrat in the House on Wednesday.
