United States Representative (Democratic) from Texas's 9th district.
Case
ICE says an officer shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in self-defense after he used his van as a weapon. Passenger witnesses dispute the claimed threat, and a Harris County grand jury is reviewing the shooting.
Role at the time: U.S. representative for Texas’s 9th congressional district
Statement summary
Al Green included Salgado Araujo among civilians whose killings he called unjustified and accused the president of covering them up.
“That is because the President of the United States, Donald John Trump, is covering up unjustified killings of civilians, including Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero.”
Relative to the fatal use of force against Salgado Araujo, Green expressly identifies the killing as unjustified. That is direct condemnation.
