Summary
Austin officials said an ICE agent shot a man in the torso on Sunday, leaving him in stable but serious condition after he was taken to a trauma center.
No arrests were made at the scene, Police Chief Lisa Davis said, and city officials stressed details remain preliminary, including whether the man was the target of an immigration enforcement operation.
Mayor Kirk Watson said he was "very angry" and demanded state and local Texas law enforcement be allowed to investigate as an independent third party.
Rep. Greg Casar also called for a full independent investigation, release of body-camera footage and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.
