ICE tactics in our community are growing more brazen and more dangerous. High-speed pursuits and aggressive operations on busy streets put everyone at risk.
No badge puts anyone above the law in Harris County and we will continue to follow evidence wherever it may lead.
If you or someone you know has any evidence related to this incident, we urge you to contact us immediately.

ICE agents hit a Houstonian with a vehicle while pursuing him during an enforcement operation this morning, leaving him hospitalized with serious injuries.
This is yet another example of ICE operating without accountability and harming our community.
All video evidence should be released, and ICE must cooperate fully with a transparent investigation by local law enforcement so those responsible are held accountable. – at Houston, TX

UPDATE: An newsroom I admire too much to scoop outright is close, I'm told, to naming the agent who killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo ... as early as Thursday AM, si dios quiere y la santisima virgen.
Breaking news on a case we have been following for almost two years now. Headed to the Criminal Courthouse now.

A federal judge on Monday ordered U.S. immigration authorities to release Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, one of the witnesses to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's shooting.
U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison granted Rojas' habeas petition and ordered ICE to release him from a Conroe detention facility within 48 hours, according to a filing issued in the Southern District of Texas. bit.ly/4wBlXIP
This is the evidence we presented to @houmayor PROOF THAT THE CITY CAN INVESTIGATE A FEDERAL AGENCY AND GET RESULT. #JusticeForLorenzo now!
This is unacceptable

CDL drivers deliver what matters and keep our economy moving.
Tonight, I hosted a People's Hearing where we heard from non-domiciled drivers, owner-operators, and companies about how CDL regulations are impacting them, their businesses, and their families.
No one deserves the uncertainty of not knowing whether they will be able to work. We need policies that support our workforce and keep our economy moving.

Dreamers are American in every way but on paper. But on this #DACA14 anniversary, they are facing an increasing threat of deportation from this out of control administration.
The House needs to act. Bring my bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act up for a vote. #HomeIsHere

On the 14th anniversary of DACA, I stood with Dreamers in Houston to demand action from Congress. DACA has provided protection from deportation and a chance to breathe, but under the Trump administration, Dreamers are facing detentions, deportations, and delays in renewals that are costing them their livelihoods.
Dreamers deserve protection, dignity, and a permanent pathway to citizenship. The House must vote on the American Dream and Promise Act.

My office was proud to host the inaugural meeting of the Harris County Immigrant and Refugee Commission, the first county-level commission of its kind in Texas.
Thank you to the dedicated community leaders who have stepped up to serve as we work together to expand opportunity, protect dignity, and build a more inclusive Harris County for all.
