Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo addresses deadly Houston ICE shooting

During a news conference on Wednesday, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo addressed the shooting by saying,  Regardless there is another regrettable death of a compatriot in the United States due to detention issues, when their only fault is not having papers yet ...even after they were hired by an American company. So there's no reason for them to be in detention centers or use violence. So we are preparing legal measures, obviously more important. 

The backstory:

According to ICE, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who was allegedly in the country illegally, was shot around 6:50 a.m. on Canal Street between S. Sgt. Macario Garcia Drive and Wayside Drive in the East End.

ICE says their officers were trying to conduct a vehicle stop  as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien. 

ICE says Araujo, the driver, attempted to evade arrest.

 From information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, 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,  ICE said in a statement.

Araujo was shot in the abdomen, according to the Houston Fire Department.

Araujo was taken to Ben Taub Hospital with CPR in progress. He was later pronounced dead from his injuries.

ICE says the FBI is leading the investigation.

 This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available,  ICE
