Documents reveal the horrific charges faced by an immigration lawyer representing two illegals involved in recent ICE shootings.
Hugo Balderas-Ibarra is representing two of the three passengers in a van at the time that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. He spoke to the media, condemning the federal agency and accusing agents of “racial profiling.” He went on to allege that his clients “will forever be physically and emotionally scarred by this killing.”
“None of these families will ever be whole again.”
But according to documents obtained by Fox News, Balderas-Ibarra is no stranger to being on the business end of the legal system. He is reportedly “currently out on a $20,000 bond on a felony assault family violence by impeding breathing charge stemming from a 2024 incident.”
“The document states that the alleged assault took place in 2024 when the victim and Balderas had a dating relationship. According to the victim, they got into an argument the day she was set to take a flight over something she had seen on his phone. This caused her to pack all her belongings, which Balderas-Ibarra found and took. The woman took an Uber to the airport,” the outlet reported. While Balderas-Ibarra agreed to bring her luggage to the airport, once there, the document says he ‘threw her luggage on the ground,’ and when she went to pick it up, he ‘grabbed her by her neck with his left hand.’ She told investigators that he held her thus for several seconds, and when he noticed people getting close to them, he ‘squeezed harder and twisted her throat.'”
The victim claims this action left her unable to breathe, leaving her dizzy and disoriented. She says that she suffered nausea and lightheadedness following the alleged attack. and documents indicate she had redness and swelling in her neck area.
“Further, a Harris County bond motion shows that at the time of the strangling incident, Balderas-Ibarra was already on bail for a separate domestic violence charge, kidnapping and false imprisonment in Seminole County, Florida,” Fox noted.

He should be prosecuted for putting law enforcement in danger. Next he should be disbarred and prosecuted for his crimes. The sooner, the better!

Typical. It’s always the people who judge everyone the loudest that are the most guilty. It just so happens 9/10 times they’re a liberal…
