  "account": "In Austin, Texas, a Venezuelan man named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot and wounded by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while delivering an order for DoorDash. Mr. Garces Perez was taken to a hospital but was unable to have the bullet removed because of its proximity to his spinal cord. His lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, stated that he was detained with the bullet still inside him. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is investigating the incident alongside the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The shooting occurred during a period of heightened immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.",
  "summary": "A Venezuelan national was transferred from a hospital to a detention centre some 215km away after an ICE agent rammed his vehicle and shot him.",
