The Bullet in the Back of an Immigration System The recent shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan DoorDash driver by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas, is just the latest symptom of a far more entrenched problem: the militarization of immigration enforcement.
This incident is not isolated but rather part of a broader pattern of violence and intimidation that has become all too common in our immigration system. The details of the shooting are chilling.
Garces Perez was shot while driving for work, leaving him with a bullet still lodged near his spine.
