  ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, 28, while he was making a DoorDash delivery in Austin. Now he’s in ICE custody & they’re trying to quickly deport him before the public has a full account of what happened. We need a full, independent investigation and the body cam footage.

  Merely hours after the shooting, a man was abruptly discharged from the hospital & taken directly into ICE custody. His family & their immigration lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, reported that they were initially kept in the dark by the hospital & have not been told exactly where he is detained.

  ICE shot a man in Austin yesterday. And before hospital staff could take the bullet out of his back ICE agents terminated his medical care and took him to a prison where he slept without a bed and without any further medical treatment. # FuckICE # Austin # Texas

  the only people still supporting this administration are the ones who want a Christian-Ethnostate, regardless of the cost. The worst part is they think they want it, but if they actually had to live it, they'd want out of it as soon as fucking possible. There's a reason matricide used to be so common in the US before no fault divorce. And that's…

  ICE has reportedly shot a person in Austin, Texas, proving, once again, this assertion true: Violent interactions with the public aren’t surprising, a former ICE official said of the agency under Trump. “That’s sort of by design.”

  "This candidate isn't a pristine paragon of all my virtues, so they're worthless!" Has got to be one of the worst lines of thinking in politics. Often though I feel its just a cover for simpler reasoning that they rather not admit. I'm so tired of people voting for people they like verses who is qualified and capable of doing the job .

  ICE. AGAIN ! An ICE thug shot a Venezuelian who worked as a DoorDash driver in Texas’ capital, with protests erupting at the scene against Trump’s immigration crackdown. The man had no criminal history and no final order of removal from the US. #ICEOut

  “Authorities in Illinois are investigating a case on Sunday in which a US citizen was detained by federal immigration agents before ending up at a hospital with injuries. It came the same day that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and seriously wounded a man in Austin, Texas.” https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/s…

  Great, glad we're in agreement that you were wrong. Cute fanfiction. I'm sure you're just jerking off to the idea of Americans turning to fascism but save it for someone who cares

  More details and -- new witness video -- from the ICE shooting in Austin. It shows witnesses begging agents to call the ambulance -- who then pull the 28-year-old Venezuelan man out of the car and cuff him. ✍️ Emiliano Tahui Gomez for @theguardian.com

  Sensationalism headline. It is very common for bullets to be left in by doctors because removing it is more risky then leaving it in.

  A Venezuelan man was shot and injured by ICE yesterday in Austin, TX. I spent hours outside the hospital with his wife, who told me he called just after he was shot. She didn’t see him before he was discharged into federal custody. More from @nytimes.com:

  The rat council would like me to point out that rats are actually incredibly hygienic and are offended by this comparison.

  What is ICE trying to cover up in Austin now? Is it normal to whisk someone away from a hospital if in critical condition like this?

  There are legal limits to when a federal immigration agent can pull over a vehicle, stop people on the street, or forcibly enter homes. The Trump administration, however, has adopted expansive interpretations of ICE’s authority and relies on technical loopholes to evade these limits.

  "'We have confirmation due to communication between Kate and Wilber that he’s in Pearsall for interrogation and still has the bullet lodged in his body. He’s received no pain medication and had to sleep on the floor.'"

  These atrocities just keep on happening. We read about it until the next one comes along which is usually in a few days.
