The Austin Police Department released body camera footage showing the aftermath of an ICE shooting involving 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, who was arrested for illegal entry after being shot while delivering a DoorDash order. The videos depict local police responding to the scene where Garces Perez is seen injured in his vehicle; he reportedly made a U-turn under a highway before being pursued by ICE agents. His attorney claims that an unmarked truck chased and sideswiped Garces Perez’s car, but ICE disputes this and emphasizes that resisting arrest is illegal and dangerous.

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.
