A Venezuelan DoorDash worker, 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez, was shot by ICE agents and remains hospitalized with a bullet still lodged in his back, according to his lawyer. The incident in Austin, Texas, sparked protests and calls for an investigation. The Department of Homeland Security is probing the shooting, which occurred as part of the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement efforts.
The mayor of Austin, Kirk Watson, called for transparency and safety for city residents, while local Democrats demand an independent investigation and release of body camera footage. Critics argue that the administration's crackdown on immigration violates due process and demands reforms, such as requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras and display their faces openly.
