US judge blocks deportation of DoorDash driver shot by ICE - BBC

Garces Perez is being held in a detention center with a bullet still in his back, according to his lawyer. Judge Orlando Garcia, appointed under the Clinton administration, has scheduled a hearing for Garces Perez to appear in court in person next week. The shooting happened in the Texas capital. The Department of Homeland Security says it is investigating.

DHS has not confirmed his lawyer's account of the shooting. The agency's statement calls him an illegal migrant but has not detailed what led agents to open fire during what his attorney describes as a routine delivery run. The case follows other recent incidents involving US Immigration and Customs Enforcement that have drawn scrutiny over how agents use force during encounters with migrants.

For now, the court order keeps Garces Perez in the country and gives him a chance to make his case in person rather than face removal while still recovering. His lawyer has not said when he expects a ruling on the underlying immigration status.
