...

Gaces Perez was treated for a gunshot wound to the torso and taken to a local hospital, Austin-Travis County EMS said Sunday afternoon. Lincoln-Goldfinch, who is representing Garces-Perez and his family, said in a social media post Sunday evening that he was released from the hospital and into ICE custody.

KVUE received the following statement Sunday night from a Texas Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson:

"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.

The illegal alien’s condition is stable, and he is in federal custody pending removal.

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

I believe a bunch of protesters were already on the streets condemning the ICE folks...

Of course they were. And waving around their gdamn Mexican flags.

North Austin is a wide area. I did see a HWY 183 sign, so that narrows it down, but I lived off of Burnett and 183 in the 1980s. Great place then, now it seems as though it is the Barrio. No Thank you!

As you can see, the liberal political power structure responded quickly to the shooting.

Y’all should hear the screeching by the Austin media and city council. ICE stuck a stick into a hornets nest. Frankly for their words alone the lot of them should be arrested and hanged for treason.
God I hate Austin, and Travis county is a dump. A nice town once, completely ruled by dogmatic leftists.

“North Austin is a wide area”

Incident happened midway between the 183-Mopac and 183-I35 interchanges. Not a bad area now but not nice either. I avoid downtown like the plague.

"This illegal alien will have time to contemplate his poor life choices in his country of Venezuela."

Rather than U.S. taxpayers picking up the cost, stabilize the illegal alien just enough to ship him to Venezuela. Let them decide how much money to spend on getting him healed.

Resisting is a bad idea.

I saw a court case where a woman was pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt. I don't remember the reason, but the officer told her to get out of the car. At first, she just resisted, then she attacked the officer. She ended up in FELONY court for her actions.

And the usually Dumbocraps jump to the conclusion that ICE is illegal not the criminal alien.

The scum crossing our boarders are the case offs of mexico, central and south America and the third world as well as china, africa and many enemy moslem nations and groups paid for by soros like billionaires using their money to attack the American people in an undeclared war. And to be sure it is a war with real causalities (VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS MEMORIAL). These cowardly attackers are assisted by our own quislings, collaborators paid and self retarded idealistic fellow travelers. Many are communists, socialists and just plain fascists. That includes the woke, demoRATs, liberals and NGO's that until recently were funded by usaid.

We offered to PAY this hijo de puta to leave on his own ... $3000 and free airfare for him and his critters ...

He didn't take us up on our incredibly generous offer. He could have been comfortably home in Vuvuvzela, with a bunch of Yankee Greenback Dollars in his pocket, building a life for himself and his ninos ...

But NoOoOoOo!

That's not good enough ...

How do you say fool around and find out in Spanish?

It’s a lawful order for the police to request the driver to get out of the vehicle - Pennsylvania vs Mimms. Do it. Now, all occupants must show ID as well as exiting the car when requested. It can escalate from there with misdemeanors and felonies. Watch a few Youtube banshee women who go absolutely bat-crap crazy during a traffic stop. Simply stunning arrogance and ignorance. They call ‘em TikTok lawyers. A few have to be controlled with some straps here and there. Very exciting.
