The attorney for a Venezuelan man shot by a federal immigration officer in Texas says he's back in an ICE detention center after being taken to a hospital for a second time. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was being held Tuesday at a federal center in South Texas. His attorney says Perez was making a DoorDash delivery Sunday in Austin when immigration officers in an unmarked vehicle sideswiped his car and forced it to stop. Perez was shot and taken to a hospital. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
