Man shot by ICE being detained with bullet still in his back, lawyer says
Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the 28-year-old Venezuelan national shot by an ICE officer on Sunday, said in a phone call on Monday that he's "not doing well."
What the coverage shows
Most outlets center the same basic frame: an ICE officer shot a man in Austin, with protests, criticism, and calls for investigation following quickly after. CBS News, CNN, ABC News, The Guardian US and the AP identify the man more specifically as a DoorDash or delivery driver, while Fox News is the only outlet to foreground a fight over deportation in its headline. The Independent is alone in emphasizing physical details from the scene and, in a separate item, that the man was detained with a bullet still lodged in his back; The Hill focuses on DHS and Austin officials rather than the shooting itself.
