Of course, he didn't. The thugs and gangsters who make up the ranks of ICE lie, just like their orange overlord does.

4. The Three Men Told The Same Story Despite Being Separated

Balderas-Ibarra spoke to Rojas, Daniel Tirado Pantoja, 43, and the shooting victim’s brother, Victor Salgado, 44, and said he heard the same story from each as he interviewed them separately. The men are not being housed together, the attorney said.

These men were held at gunpoint with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's blood splattered on them and separated from each other. There's no way these stories are coordinated in such detail. This is stone cold evidence of murder.
