What to Know About a Venezuelan Man Shot by an ICE Officer in Texas
The 28-year-old Venezuelan remains in custody after a hospital visit, and a federal judge ordered him to appear in court next week.
- On Tuesday, 28-year-old Venezuelan Wilber Rafael Garces Perez returned to a federal detention center after a second hospital visit for a bullet still lodged in his back, according to his attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch.
- The incident occurred Sunday afternoon while Perez was making a DoorDash delivery in Austin, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in an unmarked truck sideswiped his car twice, Lincoln-Goldfinch has said.
- Court filings indicate Perez slept on a cement floor at a processing center before his transfer to a Pearsall facility at 4 a.m. Monday, where he remains in significant pain without medication access.
- District Judge Orlando Garcia ordered Perez to appear in San Antonio for a September 30 hearing, while protests erupted at the Texas Capitol on Monday night following the shooting, Rep. Joaquin Castro said.
- The Department of Homeland Security continues investigating the shooting but has not disclosed what prompted it, while ICE labeled comments from Rep. Greg Casar regarding Austin's safety as "ludicrous.
