Court denies bond for Venezuelan man shot by ICE in Austin

Wilber Garces Perez, a Venezuelan citizen shot in the back by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Austin on September 20, was denied bond on Wednesday. He remains in federal custody facing up to 20 years in prison for assaulting a federal officer. Prosecutors argued he is a flight risk and danger to the community due to his ties to Venezuela and alleged high-speed pursuit. Defense attorneys argue he was attempting to obtain legal residency and is suffering from severe medical complications, including a bullet lodged in his spine, requiring immediate surgery.
