# Sean Teare **Sean Teare** is the District Attorney of Harris County, Texas — the Houston jurisdiction and one of the largest prosecutorial offices in the United States — elected in November 2024 after defeating the incumbent in the Democratic primary. He enters the vault through the ICE accountability thread. On **August 28, 2026** Teare announced he would take the federal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo to a Harris County grand jury, and described obstacles that read as a template for every state prosecution of a federal agent: his office was given no field operations worksheet, no use-of-force policy and no shooter identity; investigators were kept off the scene for a day; ICE said dash-camera footage was "not available"; and an FBI suggestion that methamphetamine was present was contradicted when testing found none. He floated suing the Department of Homeland Security to compel disclosure and set no timetable. See [[Killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo]]. Whether Teare is a formal member of the [[Fight Against Federal Overreach]] coalition is not established in the sources consulted — the coalition's launch coverage names Dallas County's John Creuzot among its Texas members and refers to unnamed additional Texas prosecutors. His case runs on the same theory regardless. > [!note] Stub > Expand: the 2024 primary and general, his policy positions relative to the [[Progressive Prosecutor]] wave, FAFO membership status, and the grand jury outcome. ## See Also - [[Killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo]] · [[Fight Against Federal Overreach]] · [[Progressive Prosecutor]] · [[ICE]]
