An ICE agent fatally shot a man in Houston on Tuesday morning after the man tried to run him over during a vehicle stop. According to the agency, federal agents were conducting a targeted enforcement operation when Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, tried to evade arrest. The agency says Salgado Araujo attempted to ram an ICE vehicle, refused multiple verbal commands, and then tried to run over an agent, who fired his weapon in self-defense.

On Tuesday's episode of The Five, Jesse Watters wasn't having it, and his leftist co-host Jessica Tarlov learned that the hard way.
"All right, so the bullet holes are right through the front windshield," Watters observed. "So this wasn't a side shot. The car was coming at the officer, we think, and they'll do a review. And if he's, you know, guilty of something negligent, then he'll face justice. Or if the person drove at him and he was defending his life, then that's it."
When Watters asked why Salgado Araujo was in the country in the first place, Tarlov offered up the best defense she could muster. "He's working," she said.
Oh, so that makes it okay?
"He shouldn't be here, Jessica," Watters fired back. He noted that Salgado Araujo wasn't even the target of the operation. "And so, if they say pull over, pull over," he said. "Now, this investigation will be over, but we have to grow up. Can we grow up? I mean, there's going to be fatalities in law enforcement situations, especially when there's foreign fugitives who are resisting and running away."
The modern criminal no longer kicks down the front door. He logs onto a government website, steals someone else's identity — or even that of a deceased person — then creates a ghost student who never intends to attend class but collects thousands of dollars in federal financial aid, and disappears before the semester begins.
No shattered windows. No getaway car. No fingerprints. Just another transfer of taxpayer money from honest work to organized fraud.
The No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026, recently passed by the House of Representatives but awaiting final enactment, has received little public attention. That is unfortunate because it raises a far bigger question than student aid:
Does America still possess the moral confidence to defend what belongs to everyone?
Federal financial aid was created for a noble purpose. Pell Grants exist because Congress believed financial hardship should never prevent qualified students from receiving an education. That mission deserves defending.

Organized criminal networks now exploit stolen and synthetic identities to create ghost students, siphoning millions of taxpayer dollars while legitimate students wait for aid, colleges drown in fraudulent enrollments, and innocent Americans spend years repairing stolen identities. In fact, the Department of Education reported 1 billion dollars stolen in Pell Grants in 2025.
...
The No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 does not presume every applicant is dishonest. It simply requires additional identity verification when applications display reasonable signs of fraud before taxpayer dollars are distributed.
Critics worry this could inconvenience legitimate students. That concern deserves thoughtful implementation. But prudence should never be mistaken for prejudice.
