The man, identified as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan, suffered a gunshot wound to his torso during a brief chase in the city's north side around 1 pm, local time. He is currently in a serious but stable condition at a nearby hospital. The incident is under investigation, with Austin Mayor Kirk Watson calling for a clear-eyed probe and the involvement of local police. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis confirmed that city police officers were not part of the operation or the shooting. A protest of around 100 people gathered at the scene, expressing their discontent with ICE's actions. The incident is one of several involving ICE, a focal point of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.",
