Critically, NPR confirmed that neither man was the intended target of the enforcement operations. DHS claimed Duran Guerrero was a public safety threat and that Salgado Araujo used his car as a weapon against an ICE officer, but as of the broadcast, no video evidence had been presented to substantiate either claim — a notable gap that NPR's Sergio Martinez Beltran highlighted. White House border czar Tom Homan told reporters the agency will review whether ICE officers' training is adequate and whether they need additional safety support before the practice resumes.
