美国得克萨斯州休斯顿发生一起由联邦移民和海关执法局（ICE）官员引发的致命枪击事件。受害者 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo 是一名 52 岁的墨西哥裔男子，他在美居住超过 35 年且无犯罪记录 [1][2]。事发周二，Salgado Araujo 正驾驶面包车送工友前往工地途中被射杀 [2]。目击者及车内另外三名被捕的男子向律师表示，该官员并未受到威胁，车辆也未受损，ICE 关于“撞击警车”的说法不实 [1]。据称，子弹是从乘客侧车窗射入的 [2]。
国土安全部（DHS）声称 Salgado Araujo 撞向了 ICE 的车辆，涉事官员出于自卫开火，但拒绝公开相关证据 [1][2]。ICE 随后拘留了车内的另外三名男子并施压其自愿离境，对此 DHS 予以否认 [1]。Salgado Araujo 的家人称他接近获得合法身份，育有三名子女 [2]。
该事件引发了当地社区及政界的强烈抗议和批评。休斯顿市长 John Whitmire 指责联邦机构失控并要求独立调查以获取真相 [1]。四名来自 Salgado Araujo 所在选区的民主党国会议员在守夜活动中呼吁进行独立调查，众议员 Christian Menefee 更直接指责特朗普政府应对此负责 [2]。这是特朗普政府加强移民打击行动期间发生的至少第八起致死事件 [1][2]。
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national who had lived in the United States for over three decades without a criminal record, was fatally shot by a federal immigration and customs enforcement agent while driving to a construction site [1][2]. Witnesses reported that Mr. Araujo posed no threat at the time of the shooting and noted there were no visible damages to his vehicle prior to being struck [1]. According to detainees who spoke with their lawyer, an ICE officer fired through the passenger window of Mr. Araujo's van while he was transporting coworkers [2]. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) denied claims that three other men inside the vehicle were detained and pressured into voluntary departure following the incident [1][2].
Federal officials stated that DHS agents acted in self-defense after claiming Mr. Araujo rammed their vehicle, though they have not released evidence to support this assertion [2]. In contrast, witnesses told attorneys that the driver was shot through a side window while unthreatening and that the agency's claim of an impact with law enforcement vehicles is false [1]. This incident marks at least the eighth death associated with immigration enforcement actions under the Trump administration [1][2].
Local leaders have condemned the event, calling for accountability. Houston Mayor John Whitmire criticized federal agencies for losing control and demanded an independent investigation to uncover the truth [1]. Four Democratic members of Congress representing Mr. Araujo's district held a vigil where they urged an independent probe; Representative Christian Menefee specifically blamed the Trump administration for responsibility regarding this tragedy [2]. Family members emphasized that Mr. Araujo was close to obtaining legal status and mourned his life built in Houston, noting he had three children [1][2].
