Eyewitness video shows 28-year-old Venezuelan immigrant Wilbur Rafael Garce Perez injured inside his vehicle after an ICE agent shot him in Austin, Texas, on September 20. Garce Perez was taken to the hospital, but his lawyer said he was released from the hospital four hours after he was shot, with the bullet still lodged in his body, and transferred to the Texas Interrogation Center. His lawyer claims he was not given pain medication and was forced to sleep on the floor.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement that Garce Perez was an "illegal alien" who "illegally entered" the United States. His attorney, however, clarified that he "entered lawfully through a probationary asylum application program and has a valid work permit."
