00:00He had no criminal record.
00:01He had been in here in the United States for over 35 years, a business owner.
00:06He had U.S. citizen children.
00:08His only crime was that he fit the description of another man that they were looking for.
00:15The agency's versions of the killings have varied, and I won't get into all those different
00:20versions, but I can tell you with conviction that my clients' versions of the events are
00:27extremely different from what ICE agents are saying or what the agency is saying.
00:32This has become a pattern where ICE agents claim that they used their vehicle as a deadly
00:38weapon, that they tried to run over the agents, and the agent shot in self-defense.
00:43But all three of my clients reiterated that at no point was there ever an agent standing
00:49in front of the vehicle, nor was an agent ever placed in the line of danger.
00:54I talked to Mr. Ventola yesterday by telephone after trying to reach him for most of the week.
01:00He confirmed that Lorenzo Salgado Arroja was not the target of the operation, nor was his
01:08brother, who was a passenger in the vehicle.
01:12The director said that ICE was searching for an individual with a final removal order when
01:18officers believed, who officers believed had entered the van, and that they had an administrative
01:25warrant.
01:27Lorenzo Salgado Arroja said that he did not know the name of the individual that ICE was targeting,
01:31and that he could not clearly identify which passenger they were seeking.
01:38The director described the operation as a targeted enforcement action resulting in a vehicle stop.
01:45There's been some discrepancy between whether it was targeted, whether they were just stopping
01:50traffic, so it was actually both.

02:22I'll see you next time.
