Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan DoorDash delivery driver, was shot in the torso and taken to hospital, his lawyer told US media. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement to the BBC that it was investigating the shooting of a man in Austin who had entered the country illegally. It is unclear what led to the shooting, and the local mayor and police have demanded an independent probe. It comes months after a man in Houston was shot dead by an ICE officer. Attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch told CBS that Garces Perez called his wife while "yelling in pain" in hospital. She told National Public Radio he was in ICE custody. The Trump administration has ramped up immigration enforcement efforts and arrests during Trump's second term, sparking unrest across several US cities. The administration has defended its policies and the agency's controversial tactics as necessary for public safety and to enact Trump's campaign promise to secure the border and carry out mass deportations. The shooting in Austin on Sunday occurred just before 13.00 local time, although details remain scarce. Dozens of protesters, some waving the flags of Mexico and Guatemala, gathered at the scene carrying signs demanding that ICE leave Austin. Local television outlets showed the demonstrators gathering across the street from ​a blue Toyota Corolla that ⁠sustained damage to the passenger-side door, as ICE agents stood nearby, Reuters news agency reported.
