Mexico’s president is preparing legal action after an ICE officer fatally shot Mexican immigrant Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Trump’s immigration crackdown is no longer just terrorizing communities at home, it is costing lives and creating an international crisis.

NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

But it appears three other people were in the van with the now-deceased man, and they presumably could recount their version of what happened: the victim’s brother and two employees of the dead man’s construction business. They were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the encounter, and we haven’t heard from them publicly about what happened. Now, in another potentially dark turn in the saga, those three men are under pressure from immigration officials to agree to self-deport, Juan Proano, a representative for the families and CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, claimed in an interview with The New Republic.

Proano—who regularly confers with the family members of the victim and the three detainees and organized a press conference on their behalf earlier this week—said the family members were able to reach the three detainees, who then related this situation.

“They’re being pressured to sign self-deportation orders,” Proano told me. “They’re currently in detention. These men hold the key to what actually happened.” Under self-deportation, detained migrants agree to leave the country voluntarily within a prescribed time period.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was simply on his way to work. Now his family is grieving a loss no family should endure. We cannot accept a system where going to work can end in tragedy at the hands of ICE. Abolish ICE and give his family the true answers they deserve. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...

The case again raises questions about who is targeted by a nationwide immigration enforcement push the Trump administration says aims to remove dangerous criminals from the US.

Elvis called me this morning. We spoke for, maybe, 20 minutes or so. He was kind of upset at first: He's been watching a lot of cable news lately, and he said he'd heard Trump wanted to take over his old mansion in Memphis and tear it down and build a huge casino resort there.

What does the appeal mean? In and of itself, nothing. The order is the order, so, unless Judge Kaplan or the Second Circuit do something to stop the judge's order from being in effect, the clerk's office is disbursing the money.
