Corrected from CBS News: “Venezuelan man shot by ICE agent as enforcement surges in Austin”

The Guardian framed the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez as part of an immigration enforcement surge in Austin. Multiple other outlets reported the incident occurred after a traffic stop with no reference to any surge or increased enforcement activity. The original piece omitted the traffic stop detail confirmed by city officials.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the Venezuelan DoorDash driver shot by an ICE agent in Austin, remains in federal custody with a bullet lodged near his spine. His attorney provided this update during a Monday news conference covered by PBS NewsHour and CBS News.

The shooting followed a traffic stop near Research Boulevard and Anderson Square, reported by Sky News citing city officials. Coverage from The Guardian and CBS News omitted this sequence of events while focusing on the immigration enforcement surge in the area. Garces Perez was released from the hospital into detention after sustaining at least one torso wound.

Corrected from English elpais

On September 23, 2026 El Pais reported that Hurricane Polo reached Category 5 about 210 miles south of Zihuatanejo with 165 mph sustained winds, five Mexican states under watch, and no expected landfall while coastal rain, flood, landslide, and surf risk remained elevated. CBC reported a nearly stationary extremely dangerous center early Wednesday and expert guidance against landfall. Insurance Journal reported a 180 mph peak, 892 mb intensity second only to Patricia 2015 in the eastern Pacific, and multi-day Category 5 expectations with ports and tropical storm warnings still in play. Unfinished Polo intensity and track plus unfinished coastal rain risk are real. They are not already Mexico destroyed forever, and they are not already storm harmless forever because the eye stays offshore.
