Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexicans ‘outraged’ over killing last week of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by agents in Houston Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Monday that Mexico would be filing criminal complaints in the US for the deaths of more than a dozen Mexican migrants in immigration detention and those killed in anti-migrant operations. The deaths include last week’s killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, whom Sheinbaum said was “practically murdered”. “It’s a case that sparks outrage among all Mexicans,” the Mexican president said during her morning news conference. “We cannot simply continue with diplomatic letters that have yielded no results.” A total of 17 Mexican citizens have died since Donald Trump began his migrant crackdown: 14 people in detention and another three who, like Salgado Araujo, were killed during immigration operations. Salgado Araujo was shot and killed on 7 July as he headed to work along with his brother and two other men. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has insisted that Salgado Araujo “weaponized” his vehicle and attempted to hit an ICE officer, but that claim has been contradicted by the three other men in the car. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for nearly 35 years and did not have any criminal history. Authorities in Houston have launched their own investigation into the incident.
