"Homeland Security Investigations, with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is leading the investigation into the officer involved shooting of an illegal alien from Venezuela, who illegally entered our country under the Biden administration and had a final order of removal, during a law enforcement operation today in Austin, TX.

This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information becomes available."

Resisting is a bad idea. This illegal alien will have time to contemplate his poor life choices in his country of Venezuela.

KVUE is part of the Austin Enemedia spewing the radical leftist propaganda under the guise of news.

His hospital stay was quite short.
I would guess, no serious injuries?!

Apparently not. Hopefully he’ll be recovering in his country.

Likely a graze wound. The media wants you to consider it life-threatening and attempted murder. Same BS as always.

From last year, explains a lot...

San Antonio's KENS, Austin's KVUE to get new owner in Nexstar-Tegna merger The $6.2 billion cash transaction would expand Nexstar's station group to 265 outlets nationwide, including a bigger foothold in Texas.

Note the bigger foothold aspect as well as the timing.

Hopefully he’ll be recovering in his country.

And the medical bill needs to go to his country as well. They sent him - they pay.

And with socialized medicine in Venezuela I’m sure he’ll get much better medical care there than in America. /lol

The left is encouraging violently resisting all arrests by ICE and this is a result. Maybe they need to look in the mirror.

But this is really what they want. A few broken eggs helps their narrative.

What took Mullin so long to determine this INVADER was an INVADER?

The lefties had HOURS to gather their usual suspects.

The media will never state why the illegal was shot.

The story will portray law enforcement as a roque agency.

Same same again.
