The three men are Salgado Araujo\u2019s brother, Victor Hugo Salgado Araujo, and two workers, Daniel Tirado Pantoja and Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, Proan\u0303o told TNR. Family members who are in touch with them confirmed the pressure to sign self-deportation orders, Proan\u0303o says, adding that some of the men may be inclined to do so to avoid longer-term detention.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want full public disclosure of the eyewitness accounts of what actually happened on the day that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed,\u201d Proan\u0303o said. The pressure to self-deport, Proan\u0303o added, looks like \u201can effort by DHS to get rid of the only eyewitnesses to what happened.\u201d Asked for comment, ICE emailed a statement that didn\u2019t address the three men\u2019s status and referred questions to the FBI.<\/p>\n
There are other reasons to doubt that Salgado Araujo would attempt to kill an officer. NBC reports<\/a> that DHS hasn\u2019t said that the man has a previous criminal record. And Salgado Araujo\u2019s son, Ronaldo Salgado, says<\/a> that the family had actually been preparing for the possibility that he might be picked up by law enforcement, given increased ICE activity in Texas. The family had a plan, according to<\/a> The Washington Post: He would comply if arrested, refrain from signing anything, and wait for the family to try to get him released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The three men are Salgado Araujo\u2019s brother, Victor Hugo Salgado Araujo, and two workers, Daniel Tirado Pantoja and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-367982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
