Venezuelan migrant shot by ICE in Texas will be held in criminal detention without bail

Wilber Garcés, a Venezuelan migrant who was shot by an agent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Austin, Texas, more than a week ago, has been ordered to remain in criminal detention without bail. The decision was confirmed by his legal representatives on Wednesday.

The development follows the initial shooting incident involving federal immigration authorities. Garcés will now face criminal proceedings while held in custody, marking a shift in his legal status following the encounter with the ICE agent.
