Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet responds to criticism from a lawyer representing a man shot by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas. The dispute centers on a post that the lawyer previously made about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, which the lawyer later deleted and which has since resurfaced.
According to Fox News and the New York Post, Kolvet publicly pushed back at the attorney and framed the exchange as connected to the wider controversy around the case. The reports identify the lawyer as representing Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan man who is described as being shot by an ICE agent. While both outlets recount Kolvet’s reply, they differ in how they characterize the response and its implications, focusing in part on Kolvet’s language and the resurfacing of the deleted post.
Overall, both outlets describe an ongoing, public back-and-forth involving a nonprofit political group, its spokesman, and a legal representative tied to the ICE shooting case. The coverage does not resolve the underlying legal or factual questions of the shooting itself, but instead highlights the controversy over the deleted social media post.
