Mexico Threatens Legal Action Against ICE Over Shooting of Illegal Alien in Texas
Breitbart ^ | 07/09/2026 | Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby

Posted on 07/09/2026 2:06:20 PM PDT by DFG

Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced that her government is looking into taking legal action against agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the latest shooting incident in Texas.

“We cannot allow the mistreatment of our brothers who are in the United States,” Sheinbaum said during her morning news conference, referring to a case on Tuesday in Houston.

As Breitbart Texas reported, U.S. federal agents from ICE were trying to arrest Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national illegally present in the United States, when, according to an agency statement, the man resisted arrest, allegedly used his vehicle to ram an ICE vehicle, and then attempted to run over a federal agent. In response to the use of a vehicle as a weapon, authorities fired at Salgado, fatally injuring him.

During her speech, Sheinbaum left out the alleged attack on authorities by Salgado.

“His only fault was not having papers, even though he had been hired by an American company,” she said, adding that the U.S. government and its agencies have a history of oppressing migrants. “They don’t have to be in detention centers or for there to be any violence.”

Sheinbaum claimed that her government was looking into legal avenues, going beyond sending diplomatic notices, which she said, while the U.S. government does respond, migrants continue to die.

While she did not provide specifics on the measures her government would take, she claimed they would be judicial in nature. The claims follow a recent series of similar comments made in March, in which Sheinbaum said her government would file complaints with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

“His only fault was not having papers, even though he had been hired by an American company,” — Unbelievable. It wasn’t his fault he tried to kill US Government agents.

As far as I know, that's all part of the plan. Illegal aliens don't know this? And why is Claudia speak-a-de English?

Just try folks, really try, to imagine what would happen to an illegal alien or criminal should (s)he ram a Federales vehicle or TRY TO RUN ONE OF THEM OVER. If you want to argue, you have absolutely NO clue.

PRES OF MEXICO: (SEMI RESPECTFULLY)

A LITTLE CLARIFICATION:

HE HAD BEEN INSIDE USA FOR OVER 35 YEARS — SINCE ABOUT AGE 23-24.

AN “ADULT” WHO SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TO GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

NONE OF HIS EMPLOYERS OVER THOSE 35 YEARS SHOULD HAVE HIRED HIM.

DID HE PRESENT FALSE PAPERS??

DID HE PRESENT ANY PAPERS AT ALL?

THOSE EMPLOYERS NEED AN AUDIT, IMO.

DID HE FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS???

IF SO—_WHAT SOCIAL SEC NUMBER(S) DID HE USE???

ALL OF THIS WAS ILLEGAL.

WHATEVER BOGUS RULES YOU MIGHT HAVE IN MEXICO DO NOT APPLY TO THE USA.

GET AN EDUCATION BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH AGAIN.

“”So keep your brother at home.””

Of course! Why do people (politicians/anyone) pretend a statement like hers makes any sense? Why do they waste their breath when what they say isn’t logical? Someone wrote a book about “The Death of Common Sense” and it’s certainly true. WHY DO I ASK WHY?

Oh, Claudia, Claudia! If only he had been in the warm embrace of his homeland, this would have not happened! Call your fellow Mexicans to come home, now, to the welcoming arms of sunshiny Mexico!

Employers are not allowed to CHECK any papers. If someone claims XXX is their social security number, you put that number down. It is up to SS Admin to check and they do not.

At one point they denied my son something that depended on pay amount because he was working in 5 states and had more income than the limit! He pointed out he lived and worked in one state only, was NOT working 200 hours/week and they needed to go after the FRAUD!

It took him a year to get things straightened out.

As an employer, you must assume the papers are real unless you have proof they are not. At least, that is what I’ve been told.

Really interesting how the Mexican government assigns blame.

You try to run down an officer and he kills you, the officer is at fault. I guess he should have just stood there and got flattened.

Yet, I had an uncle that was eating at a cafe (late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s) in one of the Texas/Mexico border towns and was hit and injured by an intoxicated local who drove into the cafe. According to the local police, he was at fault because if he hadn’t been in Mexico, he wouldn’t have been hit.
