Three men who were in a van during a shooting incident involving federal immigration officials in Houston, Texas, have disputed the official narrative provided by the Trump administration. According to their lawyer, the men are being pressured to sign deportation orders. They stated that the driver, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, did not 'weaponize' the vehicle against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, and claimed that there was no ICE official positioned in front of the van when the shots were fired, which they assert came from the sides of the vehicle.
