Statement summary
On Threads, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said the shooting of Garces Perez "demands a full investigation," wrote that "no one should be shot in the back and denied urgent medical care," and called to "abolish ICE" and "prosecute rogue agents."
“ICE shot a DoorDash driver in the back in Austin. Instead of taking him to the hospital, they carted him off to a detention center with the bullet still in his back. No one should be shot in the back and denied urgent medical care. The shooting of Venezuelan delivery driver Wilber Garcés Pérez by ICE in Austin demands a full investigation. Abolish ICE. Prosecute rogue agents.”
