Federal Judge Prohibits DHS from Deporting Key Witness in Fatal Shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

In Texas, a federal judge has prohibited Trump’s Homeland Security Department from deporting one of the key witnesses in the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the 52-year-old Mexican father killed by an ICE agent on July 7 in Houston. The order comes in the case of José Trinidad Rojas, who was in Salgado Araujo’s van at the time ICE killed Araujo. Rojas is from Mexico and has lived in the United States since 1998. The two other passengers in the van the morning of the fatal shooting — Daniel Tirado Pantoja and Salgado Araujo’s younger brother Victor — have also filed petitions to be released from ICE custody.
