Last year, a Chicago judge ordered immigration agents </span><a href="https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/letter_to_cbp_opr_re_use_of_body_worn_cameras.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">to use body cameras</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in their operations there, but compliance was questionable.â</span></p> 539<p><strong>âENOUGH OF THIS PIECEMEAL INFORMATIONâ</strong></p> 540<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, an attorney for Garcés Pérez, </span><a href="https://baptistnews.com/article/man-shot-by-ice-in-austin-now-charged-with-assault/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Baptist News that his case ââis an example of the government playing games with the life of a human being who matters very much to us and to his family, and we see it clearly for what it is.â She called on the Trump administration to release the full body camera footage of the ICE encounter with Perez âso we understand what happened from start to finish,ââ the report continued.</span></p> 541<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">âEnough of this piecemeal information,â Lincoln-Goldfinch said. âEnough of this narrative that only gives us pieces and parts of the story. And enough of treating Wilbur like his life doesnât matter, like his pain doesnât matter, like whether he lives or dies doesnât matter.â</span></p> 542<p><strong>GUN VIOLENCE BY DHS HAS TAKEN THE LIVES OF MULTIPLE IMMIGRANTS AND U.S. CITIZENS</strong></p> 543<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gun violence perpetrated by mass deportation agents has killed at least five people and seriously hurt at least nine others since the federal governmentâs deployments against major U.S. cities began in June 2025, </span><a href="https://americasvoiceeducationfund.org/resources/factsheet-brutality-and-chaos-documenting-trumps-anti-immigrant-administration/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">according to data compiled by Americaâs Voice</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These victims have included U.S. citizens. Chicagoan Marimar Martinez, shot five times by Border Patrol last October, âwas accused of using her car to assault federal law enforcement before </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/chicago-woman-shot-border-patrol-marimar-martinez-charges-dismissed-rcna244979"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the case was dismissed in November</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,â NBC News </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marimar-martinez-border-patrol-exum-body-cam-texts-released-rcna258549"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> 544<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like in Garcés Pérezâs case, the agent who shot Martinez was also not wearing his assigned body camera. Subsequent evidence would also reveal the agent sending texts where he boasted about shooting the Montessori school teacher. âI fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,â he wrote. âIn a separate message, he shared a news article about the shooting and wrote, âRead it. 5 shots, 7 holes,ââ NBC News continued.</span></p> 545<p><strong>INTENTIONAL NEGLECT AND BRUTALITY IN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION CUSTODY</strong></p> 546<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lincoln-Goldfinch and Garcés Pérezâs family members all say that the 28-year-old delivery worker â who arrived here with permission </span><a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/21/texas-austin-ice-shooting-victim-wilber-rafael-garces-perez/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">under a Biden-era parole program</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> â has been in medical distress since ICE forcibly removed him from a hospital in order to detain him at a GEO Group-operated camp âwhere some detainees have complained about inadequate medical care,â </sp

In just the first week of this year, ICE </span><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/abuseofpowerwatch.bsky.social/post/3mcdbqavh5c24"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> three in-custody deaths.

One Congressional investigation </span><a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/2026/01/more-than-1000-alleged-rights-abuses-in-immigration-detention-ossoff-finds/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">has uncovered more than 1,000 allegations of human rights abuses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in immigration detention, including medical neglect, physical abuse, sexual assault, and denial of basic necessities.</span></p> 548<p><strong>FOR ICE, ONLY THEIR CAMERAS OR VERSIONS OF THE TRUTH ARE ALLOWED</strong></p> 549<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While ICE has been prevented from impeding the investigation into Garcés Pérezâs shooting after a judge </span><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr6241825757o"><span style="font-weight: 400;">temporarily blocked</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> them from kicking him out of the country, a separate court has ruled that Garcés Pérez must remain in detention for now. âWith a bullet still lodged in his back, Garcés Pérez appeared in court in a wheelchair,â NBC News </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/judge-keeps-immigrant-delivery-driver-shot-ice-custody-alleged-assault-rcna600898"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. âWilber was visibly in pain throughout todayâs hearing,â </span><a href="https://www.threads.com/share/ECB79Wt7S/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Lincoln-Goldfinch. âMedical professionals have warned that he needs surgery and could face permanent loss of mobility and the risk of serious infection if he does not receive appropriate treatment.â </span></p> 550<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">âThe hearing also included testimony from Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Rick Bazan, who signed the criminal complaint charging Garcés Pérez with assault,â NBC News continued. âThe defense argued that Bazan, whose agency is the investigative arm of ICE, could not confirm whether the ICE agent was actually hit by the car mirror since no federal investigators interviewed the agent directly. Bazan also couldnât explain why the officer allegedly struck by the mirror was not wearing a body-worn camera.â </span></p> 551<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The report notes that a second officer with the recruit who shot Garcés Pérez was using his body camera, but then turned it off when they began to chase him.</span></p> 552<p><strong>WHATâS NEXT FOR WILBER RAFAEL GARCÃS PÃREZ?</strong></p> 553<blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd7i5COoHrX/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> 554<div style="padding: 16px;"> 555<p> </p> 556<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> 557<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> 558<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> 559<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> 560<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> 561</div> 562</div> 563<div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> 564<div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> 565<div style="padding-top: 8px;"> 566<div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> 567</div> 568<div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"></div> 569<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> 570<div> 571<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"></div> 572<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"></div> 573<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"></div> 574</div> 575<div style="margin-left: 8px;"> 576<div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px;
