Venezuelan man charged with assaulting ICE officer faces up to 20 years

Federal prosecutors charged Wilber Rafael Garces-Perez, 28, with assaulting a federal officer after ICE officers shot him during a September 20 traffic stop in Austin, Texas. An affidavit says he had a final removal order, ignored commands to exit his vehicle, then drove off, striking an officer's torso with his side-view mirror before being shot. He faces up to 20 years if convicted. Sources differ on body camera footage: some say the shooting officer had none while another agent turned his off; one report says footage of the shooting exists but hasn't been released.
