What Videos Show About ICE Austin Shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez
Garces Perez was delivering food for DoorDash when he was shot and wounded by a federal officer.
The lawyer representing Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the man shot by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas, has shared shocking details about her client's condition. Wilber, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national, still has the bullet lodged in his body and has received no pain medication, having to sleep on the floor. He entered the US legally through a port of entry seeking asylum and has a valid work permit.
However, he was issued a deportation order in absentia due to a mistake in the court's notice delivery. ICE aggressively pursued Wilber before ramming his vehicle and opened fire into the back of the car once it had stopped. The bullet is still lodged in his body as it is close to his spine. Wilber, a DoorDash driver, was in the middle of a delivery when he was shot.
His lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, emphasized that the Constitution protects individuals from being shot in the back by law enforcement.
