The Department of Homeland Security has dismissed Democratic claims that Venezuelan national Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was subjected to inhumane treatment following an incident in Austin, Texas.
On Sunday, a man identified by DHS as an illegal alien from Venezuela was shot during an immigration enforcement operation in Austin, Texas.
Democratic officials and liberal media have portrayed 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez as a victim of federal authorities’ inhumane conduct, asserting he entered the country illegally under the Biden administration.
However, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has cast doubt on these allegations. In a statement, Mullin said, “Sanctuary politicians and the mainstream media have wasted no time in spreading lies about an ICE officer-involved shooting of an illegal alien in Austin, Texas.”
Mullin further stated that Perez is an illegal alien with no legal status who has received “some of the best medical care he’s ever received.” He added, “No amount of smears and false narratives will slow down ICE from doing its job by removing dangerous illegal aliens from our communities and making America safe again.”
