Van’s ‘Meth’ Was Electrolytes | Roanoke News

A shocking twist in the case of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old U.S. resident shot by immigration officers in Houston: the “meth” they found in his van was actually an electrolyte mix used by his crew to stay hydrated. The U.S. Attorney confirmed it tested negative for drugs, and two passengers say officers were never in danger. What began as a deadly confrontation over alleged drug trafficking turned out to be a misdirected raid — officers were hunting two other Guatemalans in a similar van. With at least ten deaths tied to recent immigration enforcement operations, this incident has ignited protests and accusations from the ACLU that authorities are fabricating a narrative to justify their actions.
