A US judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Venezuelan man Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, who was shot by immigration agents in Texas. Garces Perez, 28, is currently held in a detention centre with a bullet in his back, according to his lawyer. Judge Orlando Garcia has scheduled a hearing for Garces Perez to appear in court in person next week.
