Mexican national dies after ICE agent shooting in Texas

A Mexican national named Lorenzo Salgado was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a traffic stop in Houston, Texas. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Salgado attempted to evade arrest by ramming an ICE vehicle, refusing verbal commands, and using his car to try to run over an officer, prompting the agent to fire in self-defense. Salgado was taken to a local hospital but later died from his injuries. His son, Ronaldo Salgado, stated that his father had lived in the U.S. for nearly 35 years and worked in construction to support his family. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential assault on a federal law enforcement officer. This marks the first fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents since January, when two U.S. citizens were killed in similar circumstances under former President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Previous incidents raised concerns about federal overreach and inadequate officer training.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the event factually, citing statements from both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the victim's family.
