At Campos Law Firm, we closely monitor developments in U.S. immigration policy to protect our clients’ rights and future. On September 30, 2026, a federal judge in Austin ordered that Wilber Rafael Garces Perez<\/strong>, the 28-year-old Venezuelan man shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on September 20, remain detained without bond<\/strong> while the criminal case against him moves forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows the case we covered when the federal charge against him<\/a> was announced. Below, we summarize what the judge decided, what changes in his custody, and what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Did the Judge Decide?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Magistrate Judge Dustin Howell of the Western District of Texas found probable cause<\/strong> for the charge of assaulting, resisting, interfering with, and impeding a federal officer, and granted the government’s motion to detain him. “I agree with the government that the charged crime is a crime of violence and that there is a risk that the defendant will flee,” he said, according to Courthouse News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to KUT, the judge based the flight risk on three factors: that he drove away from officers during the September 20 stop, that his parents and a child live in Venezuela, and the possible sentence of up to 20 years. However, he rejected<\/strong> the prosecution’s argument that Garces Perez is a danger to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
