A federal judge has ordered DHS to release Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, a key witness in the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, within 48 hours. Pliego, who’s been in the U.S. since 1998 and has U.S. citizen children, was previously blocked from deportation. With no criminal record and no body cameras on the agents that day, Pliego and another passenger dispute the official account, claiming the van was rammed before the shooting. The ruling underscores a wider issue: the government must justify detention beyond immigration status. Pliego’s attorney says his client hasn’t yet received the order but is confident in the judge’s decision. The fate of the other two witnesses, also seeking release, remains uncertain.
