Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez remains in ICE detention with a bullet lodged near his spine after the Sunday shooting by a federal immigration officer in Austin, Texas. The 28-year-old Venezuelan national described his condition as poor during a Monday phone call with his lawyer, according to CBS News.

CBS News and ABC News covered the incident and related protests but omitted confirmation of his continued detention without adequate medical attention. The Guardian reported that he was removed from a hospital directly into ICE custody despite the lodged bullet and ongoing discomfort. An investigation into the shooting continues under local oversight.

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.
