The suspect, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a mexican national, allegedly refused commands, rammed an ICE vehicle, and attempted to hit an officer with his car, prompting the officer to fire in self-defense.Araujo was wounded and transported to Ben Taub Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Three other suspects were detained. The FBI is investigating the shooting. ICE has a history of facing assaults, including vehicle attacks, with policies allowing officers to fire at vehicles perceived as threats. Recent similar incidents include a shooting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and the death of protester Renee Good in Minneapolis.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/second-suv-carrying-19-suspected-illegal-immigrants-erupts-in-flames-near-border-cbp-gives-details-of-mass-casualty-crash\/\" title=\"Second SUV Carrying 19 Suspected Illegal Immigrants Erupts In Flames Near Border; CBP Gives Details Of Mass Casualty Crash\">suspected illegal immigrant<\/a> who tried to run down an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston on Tuesday morning was shot dead by the agent.<\/p>\n<p>ICE said the incident took place at about 6:50 a.m. Central Time, when ICE agents tried to stop a vehicle \u201cas part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sad-joke-border-patrol-union-slams-biden-admin-for-tipping-off-illegals-to-enforcement-operation\/\" title=\"Border Patrol Union criticizes Biden Admin for alerting illegal immigrants about ....\">targeted enforcement operation<\/a> to arrest an illegal alien,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/news\/houston-shooting-man-killed-ice-officer-near-canal-street-wayside-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KRIV-TV<\/a> in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who was allegedly in the U.S. illegally, was not cooperative, according to ICE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >follow multiple verbal commands<\/a>, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense,\u201d ICE said in a statement, according to KRIV.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/BREAKING?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BREAKING<\/a>: An illegal migrant from Mexico was shot and killed in Houston by an ICE officer following a confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>According to ICE, officers were trying to pull him over when he evaded arrest, rammed the ICE vehicle, and tried to run over the ICE officer.
