An ICE agent shot a man in North Austin on Sunday and sent him to a local hospital, a city official confirmed to the Daily Wire.
The shooting reportedly occurred near the intersection of Research Boulevard and Anderson Square, where a blue Toyota Corolla sat with damage to its passenger-side door.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to the Daily Wire’s request for comment. It is unclear what circumstances led to the shooting.
Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) called the shooting unjustified. “The horror has come to our city,” he said. “ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.”

He also predicted the shooting would draw protest. “Just like Americans have from Minneapolis to Houston, Austinites will speak out peacefully against this deadly mass deportation machine. ICE has been terrorizing our country for far too long. We will not be silent.”
