Salgado’s Death: What Really Happened | Texas News

In a shocking twist, the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s van — initially claimed to be meth — tested negative, with his lawyer saying it was just an electrolyte mix for hydration. The U.S. Attorney won’t say what it actually was. Salgado, a 35-year U.S. resident with no criminal record and his own business, was killed during an immigration raid in Houston after officers said he tried to run them over — but passengers testified they were never in danger. The FBI searched the van on suspicion of drugs, even though officials later admitted they were targeting two other Guatemalan men in a similar van. Critics, including the ACLU, call the government’s story a “false narrative,” sparking protests and demands for accountability in a case that highlights troubling patterns in immigration enforcement.
