🛑 Garces Perez Called Mom Mid-Chase 🛑
Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, 28, of Venezuela, knew ICE was chasing him on Sunday’s North Austin stop near Anderson Square. He called his mother in Venezuela and told her that it was ICE who was chasing him. He knew he was being pursued and refused to stop.
Listen to the interview with his mother. These are the actions of someone who is not in the country legally.
DHS says the DoorDash driver had a final order of removal. His lawyer still claims he entered legally and had a work permit, but a work permit does not grant immigration status.
He was shot in the torso, treated at Dell Seton, then released Sunday evening into ICE custody. FAFO.

Austin-Travis County EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said crews were notified about 12:56 p.m., were on scene in about three and a half minutes, found an adult man with a gunshot wound to the torso, and got him off the scene within nine minutes of their arrival. He was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
Garces Perez was released from the hospital Sunday evening and is currently in ICE custody. Very little has been released by DHS on what led up to the shots.
