Van Substance Test Clears Salgado | Oakland News

The substance in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s van—initially suspected to be meth by federal agents—has officially tested negative, pointing instead to granulated salt, likely used by construction workers to make electrolyte drinks. This revelation contradicts early FBI claims and aligns with the family’s long-held belief that their father, a 35-year U.S. resident, was wrongly targeted. ICE’s self-defense narrative is now under scrutiny as Harris County prosecutors prepare to pursue charges if wrongdoing is found, while the ACLU accuses federal agencies of fabricating a false story. Salgado Araujo’s sons, U.S. citizens, remember him as a hardworking immigrant chasing opportunity—making this case not just about justice, but about honoring his legacy.
