Houston Mayor Whitmire on Fatal Shooting of Mexican Man by ICE: ‘Before He Could Identify Himself and Speak as a Houstonian, He Was Shot and Killed’

TRANSCRIPT:

WHITMIRE: “80 hours ago, the Salgado family’s life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. I’ve met with his family today and expressed the entire city’s condolences and anger and assured him that I and the levels of government represented here today and the DA’s office would do everything, use all of our resources and our waking hours to pursue an independent and transparent investigation.”
