Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national, was a DoorDash driver at the time of the incident. Attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, representing Perez, stated that he entered the US legally and has a valid work permit, but a law enforcement source claimed Perez was in the US illegally with a final order of removal. Netizens are accusing DoorDash of hiring illegal immigrants and have canceled the service, citing concerns about the danger posed by undocumented workers delivering food to their homes.",
