An individual identified by the Department of Homeland Security as an illegal alien from Venezuela was shot on Sunday during an immigration enforcement operation in Austin, Texas.
Democratic officials and the liberal media rushed to vilify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and characterize 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez as a victim who has been subjected to inhumane treatment at the hands of federal authorities, claiming he entered illegally under the Biden administration.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated: “Sanctuary politicians and the mainstream media have wasted no time in spreading lies about an ICE officer-involved shooting of an illegal alien in Austin, Texas.”
Mullin further added: “Contrary to their claims, this person is an illegal alien who has been given some of the best medical care he’s ever received in his life. No amount of smears and false narratives will slow down ICE from doing its job by removing dangerous illegal aliens from our communities and making America safe again.”
