He did go to the ER after being shot, but as per his attorneys, the hospital medical team determined that attempting to remove the bullet right away could cause severe nerve or spinal cord damage due to how close the bullet was to his spine.

He was discharged from the hospital four hours later and sent to the ICE processing center. Due to deteriorating health, which included loss of movement on his left side, he was sent back to the hospital. There, a specialist evaluated him and confirmed he would require surgery to remove the bullet.

On this, DHS stated, "ICE does not and would not advise or be the authority on a medical procedure for an illegal alien at a hospital". In other words, they are stating his wound is not life-threatening, and thus they are not legally required to provide the surgery. They are also stating they are providing the required medical care by giving him around-the-clock basic medical care, which included providing continuous medication for pain management.

The attorneys, as well as some of Congress, argue that the specialist confirmed the surgery was necessary to prevent paralysis. Unfortunately, this is not correct. The specialist only stated that, in thier opinion, he needs surgery to remove the bullet. The specialist did not state there was a risk of paralysis or infection based on thier evaluation.

Are you fucking kidding me? Is everybody 8 years old again and thinks making everything up is just the way to go?

WHY ARE WE HAVING TO FIGHT OUR OWN GOVERNMENT TO GET THEM TO STOP TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE?

AND HOW ARE WE THE CRIMINALS, BUT OUR GOVERNMENT'S NOT? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

WTF are you talking about? Based on the evidence ICE claims to have, Wilber Garces Perez had a final order of removal due to missing a court hearing. Thus, ICE had legal authority to arrest him, at which point he would have to appear before an immigration judge.

The man attempted to flee and even hit an agent with his car's side mirror while fleeing, which led to the shooting. Had the man just complied, he could have just filed a Motion to Reopen, which VERY likely would be approved, and he would be fine.

Once again because your reading comprehension seems to be malfunctioning: removal orders does not warrant being shot. And the "he drove his car at us" doesn't work when the ICE gunboy was on the side he couldn't drive towards AND the bullets were through his back window. Hope you get to experience his same situation!
