More than a thousand protesters marched on 8 July near the spot where an ICE officer fatally shot a man driving to work.<\/p>\n
The demonstrators echoed mounting demands for an independent inquiry into Tuesday’s shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a Mexican national who lived in the US as an undocumented immigrant for decades.<\/p>\n
The BBC’s reporting partner, CBSNews, said Salgado Araujo had no criminal convictions, according to his family and a Texas congresswoman.<\/p>\n
CBS also reported the Department of Homeland Security said that Salgado Araujo was shot after he ignored commands and attempted to ram an officer who fired his weapon in self-defence.<\/p>\n
Federal officials did not release video or images of the shooting or the damage to the vehicles.<\/p>\n
The evening rally began with a few hundred people gathered at the site where Salgado was shot in Houston’s heavily Hispanic, working-class East End. The crowd swelled to more than 1,000 people as protesters marched to a nearby park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than a thousand protesters marched on 8 July near the spot where an ICE officer fatally shot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-367992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367992","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=367992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
