Greg Casar, has called for an independent investigation and release of body-camera footage after claiming that an ICE officer shot someone during a Sunday morning operation in Austin, Texas. The incident is being addressed at a news conference scheduled for 4 p.m. local time by city leaders including Mayor Kirk Watson and the police chief. Details about injuries or casualties have not been confirmed by authorities, but tensions over federal immigration enforcement operations are high following recent incidents across the country.

Story summary
On September 20, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and wounded a man in Austin, Texas, during what appears to have been a brief foot pursuit. The victim was taken to a local hospital in serious but stable condition after being shot once in the torso. Police Chief Lisa Davis said that local police were not involved, and ICE is handling the investigation, though Mayor Kirk Watson wants city police to be part of it for transparency. Rights advocates are calling for an independent probe into this incident, which comes amid growing scrutiny of ICE operations under the Trump administration's immigration policies.
