Federal judge temporarily blocks deportation of illegal immigrant shot by ICE agent in Austin, attorney says

A federal judge has blocked the deportation of an illegal immigrant shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Austin over the weekend, his attorney said.

Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, who represents him, said her office has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of her client, 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. A judge ordered that Perez be present for a Sept. 30 hearing.

"That means Wilber cannot be deported in the meantime," Lincoln-Goldfinch wrote on Facebook.
