Substance found in van after Houston ICE shooting wasn’t drugs, DA and U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia say

After a shooting involving Houston ICE agents, the FBI initially suggested that plastic bags found in the van contained methamphetamine. However, the Harris County District Attorney and U.S. Representative Sylvia Garcia clarified that the substance was not drugs, but salt. This revelation is significant as it shifts the narrative away from an initial assumption of criminal intent based on drug paraphernalia, potentially affecting the public perception and legal proceedings surrounding the incident. The lack of official test results from the FBI adds to the uncertainty and underscores the need for transparent communication in such sensitive cases.
