532<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, the unarmed Austin community member who was </span><a href="https://americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/the-rampage-continues-another-in"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shot and seriously injured</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2026/09/22/man-shot-detained-by-ice-is-hospitalized-partial-paralysis-lawyer-says/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">an ICE recruit last week</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, still has a bullet </span><a href="https://casar.house.gov/media/press-releases/news-after-detention-visit-casar-says-man-shot-ice-still-has-bullet-his-body"><span style="font-weight: 400;">lodged in his back</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. But rather than allowing him to fully recuperate from his wound in a hospital, the federal government is refusing to release the DoorDash driver from ICE detention and is instead charging him with a count of resisting and assaulting a federal officer, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Texas Tribune</span></i> <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/29/ice-texas-shooting-wilber-rafael-garces-perez-criminal-complaint/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reports</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
533<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Garces Perez appeared before a federal court in Austin on Tuesday morning to be formally charged,” the outlet reported. “Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, his lead attorney, said she saw him at the courthouse and he ‘was clearly very confused and distraught. He was in a lot of pain. He had not been given pain medication and he did not understand what was happening.’”</span></p>
534<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neither does his family, or an </span><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/ice-shoots-man-in-austin"><span style="font-weight: 400;">outraged Austin community</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that has been crying for accountability following this latest violent incident. </span></p>
535<p><strong>MASS DEPORTATION AGENTS REMAIN OUTSIDE THE LAW, FLOUTING ACCOUNTABILITY BY FAILING TO USE THEIR BODY CAMERAS</strong></p>
536<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the horrific shooting killings of Houston dad </span><a href="https://americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/time-names-houston-dad-lorenzo-salgado"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lorenzo Salgado Araujo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and Maine dad </span><a href="https://americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/as-communities-mourn-houston-dad?utm_source=publication-search"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Johan Sebastián</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> this past summer, ICE Acting Director David Venturella </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/ice-body-camera-policy-associated-press-84a5b1eaa26a4d0e165f4a31a7ed9773"><span style="font-weight: 400;">stated</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that all officers would be equipped with body cameras by the end of August. But </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Washington Post</span></i> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2026/09/22/man-shot-detained-by-ice-is-hospitalized-partial-paralysis-lawyer-says/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reports</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that the recruit who shot Garcés Pérez in the back was not using his government-issued body camera, which will only complicate a thorough investigation into the shooting. </span></p>
537<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Federal immigration officials “did not respond to questions about the officer’s background and training, or why he wasn’t using the device while making an arrest.”</span></p>
538<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep in mind that ICE has effectively said it will not release body camera footage </span><a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/ice-agents-to-wear-body-cameras-but-the-fix-is-in"><span style="font-weight: 400;">if it makes the agency look bad</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This is a policy it has already been practicing, advocates note. “After more than 6 months, DHS </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/cameras-body-worn-houston-shooting-ice-immigration-trump-aa316992c75f
538cd919726afc4db6f4098#:~:text=so%20far%20has%20not"><span style="font-weight: 400;">has still</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> not </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/26/alex-pretti-shooting-minnesota-body-camera-footage/88367983007/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">released</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> footage from the body cameras worn by four officers at the Minneapolis shooting of Alex Pretti,” the ACLU </span><a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/ice-agents-to-wear-body-cameras-but-the-fix-is-in"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said in August.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">  “There have also been serious problems with compliance with and enforcement of body camera rules. 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.”</span></p>
539<p><strong>‘ENOUGH OF THIS PIECEMEAL INFORMATION’</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 “‘is 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.’ She called on the Trump administration to release the full body camera footage of the ICE encounter with Perez ‘so we understand what happened from start to finish,’” the report continued.</span></p>
541<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Enough of this piecemeal information,” Lincoln-Goldfinch said. “Enough of this narrative that only gives us pieces and parts of the story. And enough of treating Wilbur like his life doesn’t matter, like his pain doesn’t matter, like whether he lives or dies doesn’t matter.”</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 government’s 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 America’s 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, “was 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;">,” 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 Pérez’s 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. “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,” he wrote. “In a separate message, he shared a news article about the shooting and wrote, ‘Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes,’” 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 Pérez’s family members all say that the 28-year-old delivery worker – 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;"> – has been in medical distress since ICE forcibly removed him from a hospital in order to detain him at a GEO Group-operated camp “where some detainees have complained about inadequate medical care,” </sp
546an><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Texas Tribune</span></i> <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/22/texas-austin-ice-shooting-medical-care/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Naureen Shah of the ACLU “said that even if a doctor discharged him, the detention center Garces Perez is in is not ideal. ‘It’s probably one of the worst places to take a person who has a bullet lodged to his back,” she said. </span></p>
547<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is in no way isolated. 2025 was </span><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/abuseofpowerwatch.bsky.social/post/3mbpep5n2n224"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the deadliest year</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for immigration detention in decades, </span><a href="https://americasvoiceeducationfund.org/resources/factsheet-brutality-and-chaos-documenting-trumps-anti-immigrant-administration/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">with at least 31 deaths</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in camps across the country. 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 was that of </span><a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/cuban-immigrant-in-ice-custody-died-of-homicide-due-to-asphyxia-autopsy-finds"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Geraldo Lunas Campos</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, whose death was ruled a homicide by medical examiners due to asphyxia from neck and torso compression. 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 Pérez’s 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. “With a bullet still lodged in his back, Garcés Pérez appeared in court in a wheelchair,” 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;">. “Wilber was visibly in pain throughout today’s hearing,” </span><a href="https://www.threads.com/share/ECB79Wt7S/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Lincoln-Goldfinch. “Medical 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.” </span></p>
550<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The hearing also included testimony from Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Rick Bazan, who signed the criminal complaint charging Garcés Pérez with assault,” NBC News continued. “The 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 couldn’t explain why the officer allegedly struck by the mirror was not wearing a body-worn camera.” </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>
