ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin, Texas, officials say

  • On Sunday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and wounded a man in Austin, Texas, authorities said. Mike Siegel reported the officer rammed the man's Toyota Corolla before firing at least five times.
  • Rep. Greg Casar demanded a full, independent investigation and immediate release of body camera footage. Siegel reported seeing at least two bullet holes in the vehicle's passenger-side door.
  • Several relatives told The Associated Press the officer is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since childhood. Relatives claimed he should never have been given a weapon to patrol American streets.
  • This incident follows July shootings involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, including the death of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and the wounding of 25-year-old Johan Sebasti in Maine.
  • Amid a Trump administration push for mass deportations, enforcement efforts faced widespread condemnation last winter following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota.
