周二，一名在休斯顿工作的墨西哥籍男子洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍（Lorenzo Salgado Araujo）被美国国土安全部下属的移民和海关执法局（ICE）官员开枪射杀 [1]。死者生前在美国居住了 35 年，正在申请合法身份且无犯罪记录 [1]。
据国土安全部称，当时 ICE 官员试图拦截萨尔加多·阿劳霍的车辆，该男子无视命令并试图驾车冲撞执法人员，导致官员出于自卫开枪 [1]。然而，其家属表示死者可能因恐惧而采取行动 [1]。这一事件引发了当地抗议活动以及对其家人寻求独立调查的呼吁 [1]。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆（Claudia Sheinbaum）宣布将升级外交投诉，要求美方对相关死亡事件提起刑事指控 [1]。此外，墨西哥外长罗伯托·韦拉斯科（Roberto Velasco）也发表声明，要求美国对在 ICE 行动中死亡的另外三名墨西哥公民及此前发生的 14 名其他在押人员死亡案件进行追责 [1]。
此次枪击事件是特朗普政府移民执法行动中被杀人员的至少第一起案例，也是此类事件中已知的第八起死亡事件 [1]。在此之前，尚无任何移民官员因类似行为被起诉 [1]。目前，国土安全部监察长办公室已介入调查此事 [1]。休斯顿市长确认当地警方未参与此次拦截和枪击行动 [1]。
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who had lived in the United States for 35 years while applying for legal status with no criminal record [1], was fatally shot on Tuesday night during an encounter between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and his vehicle in Houston [1]. The incident has triggered local protests and calls from Salgado's family for an independent investigation into the shooting [1].
According to U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials, ICE agents attempted to intercept Araujo's car but claimed he ignored commands and tried to ram their vehicles before they opened fire in self-defense [1]. Conversely, his family stated that he was acting out of fear during the encounter [1]. The Office of Inspector General for the DHS has launched an investigation into the incident [1], while Houston officials confirmed that local police did not participate in the operation [1].
This event marks at least the eighth death occurring within immigration enforcement actions under the Trump administration, a period where no ICE officers have previously faced prosecution [1]. In response to the shooting and broader concerns regarding deaths of Mexican citizens during such operations—including three other Mexicans killed by U.S. forces and 14 others who died in custody—Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an escalation of diplomatic complaints against the United States [1]. Additionally, Mexico's Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco declared that his country is demanding criminal charges be filed for these deaths [1].
