A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of a Venezuelan man who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Austin, Texas, ordering him to remain in the state while authorities investigate the shooting.
U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia, a Clinton appointee, ordered that Wilber Rafael Garces Perez remain in Texas and appear in person for a Sept. 30 hearing. The order effectively prevents immigration officials from deporting him before the hearing.
