Salgado\u2019s son, Ronaldo Salgado, posted on Facebook that an in-person visitation will be held for his father from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 16, at the Great Chapel at Forest Park Lawndale.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the unbelievable and incredible support we have received,\u201d Ronaldo Salgado wrote.<\/p>\n
The family and community leaders have called for transparency in\u00a0Salgado\u2019s death. League of United Latin American Citizens CEO Juan Proa\u00f1o said Salgado\u2019s wife was unable to claim his body because of legal documentation issues.<\/p>\n
Shortly after Salgado\u2019s death, LULAC launched a GoFundMe page <\/a>for his family with an initial goal of $25,000. It has since raised nearly $500,000 from close to 11,000 donations, as of Monday. The largest donation came from social media activist and content creator Carlos Eduardo\u00a0Espina, who gave $20,000 to the family.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is something that has brought a lot of people \u2014 not just Latinos, but many communities \u2014 together who see what\u2019s going on,\u201d Espina said during a news conference. \u201cIt\u2019s now become something that has united people across many races and, I would even say, political parties.\u201d<\/p>\n Salgado was killed during an ICE operation in Houston\u2019s Magnolia Park neighborhood.<\/p>\n Salgado was driving his employees, Daniel\u00a0Tirado Pantoja, Jose Trinidad Rojas\u00a0and Victor Salgado, to work when ICE agents began chasing the vehicle in unmarked SUVs with no sirens or cameras to record the encounter, according to U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia<\/a>.<\/p>\n The three employees are at an ICE processing center in\u00a0Conroe.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salgado\u2019s son, Ronaldo Salgado, posted on Facebook that an in-person visitation will be held for his father from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-371557","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\/371557","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=371557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
