Mr. Salgado was not a documented immigrant, but he had lived in Houston for 35 years, and had created his own construction business. He paid taxes and had no criminal record. In other words, he was a valuable asset to the Houston community - until he was killed by an ICE agent.
Here are a few facts about the killing:
* Delgado was not the person ICE was after. Evidently, this was another ICE blunder.
* Delgado was unarmed and on his way to work (at one of his construction sites).
* The ICE agents who tried to stop Delgado were driving unmarked vehicles and none were wearing uniforms. There was no way he could have known they were law enforcement of any kind.
* NONE of the ICE vehicles had dashboard cameras, and none of the agents were wearing body cameras (WHY?).
* ICE claimed Delgado had rammed one of their vehicles and "weaponized" his vehicle to go after an agent, so they shot into his vehicle in self-defense. But a video shot after the incident showed no damage to the "rammed" ICE vehicle.
* The incident is being investigated ONLY by the federal government, and access to all information and evidence has been denied to local law enforcement.
* Witnesses to the shooting have been detained by ICE, and ICE is trying to pressure them into signing papers to be deported.
This is starting to smell like another ICE murder - just like the ones they tried to cover up in Wisconsin. Why won't local agencies be allowed to investigate? If ICE did nothing wrong, an investigation by local authorities would show that.
ICE hasn't been in the news recently, but evidently they haven't changed. They are still a lawless agency who thinks they have the right to murder at will.
THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
