Propaganda Press Buries Illegal Alien’s Alleged Attempt To Run Over ICE Agent Before Fatal Shooting
The allegation that Araujo used his car as a deadly weapon prior to being fatally shot is central to the entire story — yet the propaganda press obfuscated it.
An illegal alien from Mexico was fatally shot Tuesday after he allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with his vehicle during an enforcement operation, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
But you wouldn’t necessarily glean that if you read some of the headlines from members of the propaganda press.
The incident unfolded Tuesday morning when ICE agents “attempted to conduct a vehicle stop as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien. The driver of the vehicle, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — an illegal alien from Mexico — attempted to evade arrest,” according to DHS. DHS said it received information that Araujo “rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense.”
If that account is accurate, then the shooting occurred only after Araujo’ allegedly attempted ‘s alleged attempt to use his vehicle to kill or seriously injure a federal officer.
CNN’s Dalia Faheid and Chris Boyette nevertheless headlined their piece: “For 35 years, a Mexican father built homes in Houston. Then a morning drive ended in tragedy.”
Instead of leading with the details DHS says led to the shooting, Faheid and Boyette begin their story emphasizing Araujo’s family and profession. The third paragraph then states: “An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in an unmarked car fatally shot the Mexican man inside his van, Salgado Araujo’s oldest son recounted Wednesday.”
Notably, the son was not present during the incident, making his account secondhand. CNN did not tell readers that Araujo allegedly tried to run the officer over, instead simply saying that Araujo “attempted to evade arrest as agents tried to conduct a traffic stop as part of a ‘targeted operation.’ He rammed into a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow several verbal commands before an ICE agent fired his weapon in self-defense, the agency told CNN in a statement Tuesday.” CNN later updated the article and changed the headline.
ABC News posted an article written by Armando Garcia on X: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot and killed a Mexican national during an incident in Houston on Tuesday, the agency said.” --->READ MORE HERE
