Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas.

His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him.

This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

ICE wants to deport Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a DoorDash driver who they just shot in Austin yesterday. The federal government can't shoot someone and then try to make them disappear to escape scrutiny.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez needs a doctor right now, not a deportation.

OMFG!

ICE is a state-sponsored terrorist organization. I'm serious.

Remember: they are going after "migrants" in order to go after us all. Yes, that includes "citizens."

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.
