  "account": "Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan, was shot by an ICE agent in Texas on Sunday, according to attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, who identified him as her client. Perez claimed he was in severe pain and detained at the South Texas ICE Processing Center with a bullet lodged in his back. He stated he was not receiving proper medical care and had to sleep on the floor. Perez alleged that he was sideswiped by ICE agents while delivering food for DoorDash, who did not identify themselves or signal their presence. He contended that there was no chase after he allegedly fled in his car. The incident occurred near Austin, approximately 130 miles southwest of the city. ICE and Homeland Security declined to comment on the shooting.",
  "summary": "Perez said he was released within four hours of arriving at a hospital, and that a doctor treating him told him ICE agents were in a hurry to transfer him to a detention center.",
