Houston Mayor John Whitmire says the city is not in a position to launch its own investigation into a deadly shooting tied to an ICE operation because the Houston Police Department was not involved and the city has no jurisdiction over the incident.

"We are calling for our federal partners to conduct a transparent investigation," Whitmire said.

"If I have any updates I will let council know." The jurisdiction question was front and center at Wednesday's City Council meeting, where several council members began by offering condolences to the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot and killed on Tuesday during an ICE operation in Houston's Magnolia Park neighborhood.
