We need a real independent investigation. We need all evidence released, and we need real accountability.
Demand a real independent investigation, release of all evidence, and accountability for the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE.
Occurrences
In Houston, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed on his way to work. One hundred days later, his family still has no answers. Instead, they've been met with stonewalling and excuses. These families deserve the truth and justice, and we will not stop fighting until they get both.

Garcia's office reported that she spoke on the House floor about Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's July 7, 2026 killing by an ICE agent and said, "We need a real independent investigation. We need all evidence released, and we need real accountability."

The release says Sylvia Garcia and Houston-area House colleagues sent DHS and ICE a letter demanding an immediate independent investigation, preservation of all evidence, complete unedited body-camera and dash-camera footage, cooperation with state and local investigators, and answers about the operation and shooting.
Assessments
Garcia fulfilled the promised action in her current federal House term. The record shows she publicly demanded an independent investigation, release of evidence, and accountability, and she joined a July 9, 2026 congressional letter to DHS and ICE seeking an independent transparent investigation, preservation and release of body-camera/dash-camera evidence, cooperation with local investigators, and answers about the shooting. Because the claim was to demand these actions, not necessarily to secure final prosecution or agency accountability, this counts as delivered in the same term.
