Statement summary
Rep. Judy Chu characterized the shooting and alleged post-shooting treatment as Trump administration brutality, joined a call for an independent investigation, and said the violence must end. Her account of the detention conditions is her statement, not independently established by this source.
“Yesterday, an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while he was making a food delivery. Now, he is being held at the South Texas Detention Complex with a bullet lodged in his body, forced to sleep on the floor with no pain medication. This is the reality of the Trump administration's brutality. I have joined @RepCasar's letter demanding an independent investigation. This violence must end.”
