By Lifescope news The fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant and father living in Houston, has ignited outrage, grief, and urgent calls for transparency after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot him during an early morning enforcement operation.

It is now part of a larger national debate over immigration enforcement, the use of deadly force by federal agents, transparency in ICE operati...
