A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and wounded a man on Sunday afternoon in Texas’s capital of Austin, local authorities said, and anti-ICE protesters quickly gathered at the scene.
The unnamed man was in serious but stable condition at a hospital after being shot once in the torso on the city’s north side, Austin’s police chief, Lisa Davis, said at a news conference with the mayor and other city officials.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not participate in the news conference and didn’t immediately respond to requests for details.
Austin police officers were not involved in the operation or the shooting, which occurred after a traffic stop, Davis told reporters.
…
Whatever ICE claims happened is a lie.
Yup! They already claimed it was a weaponization of a vehicle when we have video that shows they rammed the side of this dudes car, then they flanked the sides of it as they shot into it. Not a single douch agent was in front.
What a pathetic, weak, traitorous headline. Fucking cowards won’t call out Nazism.
ICE doesn’t do traffic stops.
In her 40 years in the US, she said: “I’ve never seen this kind of stuff. Thank God I’m a citizen or I’d be living with this anguish, in a nightmare.”
Sorry, sweetie. Next time, it could be you. They will ram your car, shoot you, and watch you bleed out just for the crime of being brown. Your citizenship means fuck all to these Nazis.
