The death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo at the hands of an ICE agent in Houston has intensified calls for an independent investigation. On Tuesday, Salgado was fatally shot after allegedly ramming into an ICE vehicle. His death has stirred public outcry, with claims of excessive force used by immigration officers.
