Jueza ordena liberar testigo en tiroteo de Houston tras disputa sobre droga

El 28 de julio de 2026, la jueza federal Keith Ellison ordenó a la Oficina de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) que liberara a un testigo detenido en el tiroteo mortal de Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, trabajador de la construcción mexicano, ocurrido el 13 de julio de 2026 en Houston, citando preocupaciones de debido proceso bajo la Quinta Enmienda. El tiroteo se produjo cuando un agente de ICE disparó contra Salgado. El FBI había presentado una orden de registro alegando la presencia de bolsas de metanfetamina en la furgoneta del hombre, pero los fiscales del condado de Harris confirmaron que los análisis de laboratorio no detectaron sustancias controladas, identificando el polvo blanco como una mezcla electrolítica no controlada.

Los abogados de la familia aseguraron que se trataba de una mezcla electrolítica a base de sal. Anteriormente, la jueza Ellison había prohibido la deportación del testigo mientras se resolvía su petición de habeas corpus.
