Judge temporarily blocks deportation of man shot by ICE agent in Austin, attorney says
The judge’s order comes after attorneys said the 28-year-old Venezuelan delivery driver was shot by an ICE agent and still needs medical care.
- On Tuesday, a federal judge granted an emergency order blocking the deportation of 28-year-old Venezuelan delivery driver Wilber Rafael Garces Perez and ordered him present for a September 30 hearing.
- The shooting occurred Sunday in North Austin when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot Garces Perez; Department of Homeland Security officials claim a foot pursuit preceded the incident, while attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch denies this account.
- Garces Perez remains in custody at South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall, where Lincoln-Goldfinch reports he lacks an appropriate medical bed and has restricted communication privileges despite his fractured collarbone.
- More than 100 members of Congress and Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza have urged DHS to halt deportation efforts, demanding an independent investigation and release of body camera footage from the shooting.
- The involved ICE officer was not wearing a body camera during the shooting, three Department of Homeland Security officials told The Atlantic. Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI are reviewing the case ahead of the September 30 hearing.
