Wilber Rafael Garces Perez charged with assaulting federal officer in Texas

ICE shooting federal assault charges Venezuelan asylum seeker Austin Texas immigration enforcement

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker, has been charged by federal prosecutors in Texas with assaulting, resisting, and impeding a federal officer. The charges stem from a September 20 encounter in Austin, where Garces Perez was working as a DoorDash delivery driver.

According to federal complaints, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempted to detain Garces Perez following a database check that revealed a final order of removal. While the initial interaction was described as pleasant, prosecutors allege that Garces Perez abruptly closed his window and drove away, striking an officer in the torso with his vehicle’s side-view mirror. This led to a high-speed pursuit that ended when an agent’s vehicle struck Garces Perez’s car, prompting an officer to open fire.

Garces Perez was shot in the back and remains in custody with a bullet still lodged near his spine. His defense maintains that he entered the U.S. legally via the CBP One program, held a valid work permit, and that the deportation order resulted from a missed hearing due to a notice being sent to an old address. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.
