A federal judge blocks the deportation of a Venezuelan man after he is shot and wounded by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas, according to multiple reports. The attorney representing Wilber Garcés Pérez, also reported as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, says the judge issues an order preventing removal while legal proceedings continue.
The reports describe the incident as a Sunday confrontation involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. CBS and Fox both cite the attorney’s account of the court action, though Fox’s wording refers to the man as “illegal” and describes the deportation block as “temporary” or “reportedly.” CBS similarly focuses on the judge’s order and the fact that the man is injured in the ICE shooting.
Across the outlets, the core points match: an ICE shooting occurs in Austin, the injured man is facing deportation, and a judge intervenes to halt that deportation. The specific legal arguments and next steps are not detailed in the provided summaries.
