Hundreds of protesters gathered in Houston on Sunday to demand justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52‑year‑old Mexican national who was shot by an ICE agent on July 7 while driving to a job site. They marched from Ervan Chew Park and briefly closed a bridge on Dunlavy Street, holding banners that read “Abolish ICE” and “Justice for Lorenzo.” The killing occurred amid intensive immigration enforcement by the Trump administration, which has been linked to at least ten deaths and 13 injuries since January 2026, including two incidents in Maine and Florida. ICE asserted that Salgado Araujo tried to ram an agent, prompting the officer to fire in self‑defense, a claim disputed by witnesses and not mentioned in a statement from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas. Activists called for a citywide shutdown planned for Friday, with a Party for Socialism and Liberation organizer urging broader action. Democratic lawmakers, including Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson, have called for investigations into ICE hiring and training practices after reports that the officer involved had a documented history of mental health issues and alleged domestic violence. Tom Homan, the administration’s top immigration enforcement official, announced a temporary pause on traffic stops and a requirement that at least one officer wear a body camera during vehicle stops, saying he wants the public to see officers’ perspectives. President Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that traffic stops are an essential crime‑fighting tool and that abandoning them would aid criminals. The protest followed similar rallies in Portland, Maine, where a 26‑year‑old Colombian man was killed during a traffic stop on July 13, and in other U.S. cities. Duran Guerrero’s family told Telemundo that he still had many dreams to fulfill. Human Rights Watch reported 52 deaths in ICE custody, and The Trace’s Gun Violence Data Hub recorded at least 13 injuries. ICE has deported more than 540,000 people since January 2026. The demonstrations highlight ongoing debate over immigration enforcement tactics and officer accountability as the city prepares further actions.
