Role at the time: Garces Perez's immigration attorney, speaking on NewsNation Prime
Statement summary
Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, Garces Perez's attorney, said on "NewsNation Prime" that regardless of his immigration status, he did not deserve to be shot.
“Even if he did have a final order of removal, he did not deserve to be shot in the back of the neck.”
NewsNation reports Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, Garces Perez's attorney, saying on "NewsNation Prime" that regardless of his immigration status, the shooting was not justified.
The case's fixed reference point is whether the officer's use of force against Garces Perez was justified. Lincoln-Goldfinch directly says the shooting was not justified regardless of his immigration status, separating that question from his removal order rather than disputing only how the incident has been characterized.
