But Salgado Araujo’s family, who say he was nearly legally authorized and had built a life and business in the U.S. for 35 years, reject that narrative — calling him a devoted father and hardworking dreamer. They held a public memorial, demanding he be remembered for his family and labor, not his death. ICE hasn’t released any video or evidence — a rare silence — while Mexico’s president vows to pursue criminal charges in U.S. courts. The DHS Inspector General is investigating, but families and advocates push for an independent probe, as local police confirm they had no jurisdiction over the federal officers involved.
