In Magnolia Park, one of Houston’s oldest Latino barrios, a makeshift memorial for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo sits on a torn-up street near the spot where he was killed. Since Mr. Salgado Araujo, a Mexican home builder and father of three, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer last week, construction workers and landscapers in work shirts and dusty boots have often come alone to stand in silence. Neighborhood residents have dropped off rosaries and candles. Many have worn Mexico soccer jerseys in tribute to one of Mr. Salgado Araujo’s favorite teams. His killing has hit hard, another immigrant’s life taken by agents carrying out President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Yet the mourning feels different in Magnolia Park.
