美国国土安全部（DHS）证实，在休斯顿发生的一起交通拦截事件中，被联邦移民与海关执法局（ICE）执法人员射杀的洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍并非此次行动的目标 [1]。涉事机构原本正在追捕两名危地马拉籍男子，却误杀了在此居住 35 年的墨西哥裔居民 [1]。
据官方说法，执法人员因目击到一辆白色面包车及车内人员特征与通缉对象相似而进行拦截 [1]。随后，当局声称司机试图用车撞人从而开火自卫 [1]。车上另外三名男子已被拘留，其中一人是死者洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍的兄弟 [1]。
美国国土安全部确认该事件将接受其监察长办公室的调查 [1]。这是特朗普第二届政府上任以来发生的第 10 起联邦移民官员致命枪击事件 [1]。
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant who had lived in the United States for 35 years [1], was not the intended target during an immigration enforcement operation in Houston where he was fatally shot by federal agents [1]. The incident occurred when ICE officers intercepted a white van after spotting it and observing occupants with features similar to those of two Guatemalans they were actively pursuing at the time [1]. According to DHS officials, law enforcement opened fire claiming self-defense because the driver appeared to attempt ramming their vehicle into them [1]. Salgado Araujo was not among the intended targets; the original pursuit focused on the two Guatemalan individuals [1]. Following the shooting, three other men in the van were detained, including one who is identified as Salgado Araujo's brother [1]. The DHS Inspector General has been tasked with investigating the incident [1]. This event marks the 10th fatal shooting involving federal immigration officers since the inauguration of President Trump's second term [1].
