得克萨斯州一名市议会候选人因“参与骚乱”的轻罪指控被捕。此前,他曾参与抗议一名联邦移民官员枪击一名委内瑞拉男子的行动。

A Texas city council candidate has been arrested on a misdemeanor charge for “riot participation.” This comes after he joined a protest against the shooting of a Venezuelan man by a federal immigration officer.

杰西·贝代恩、萨拉·兰金 发自得克萨斯州奥斯汀——得克萨斯州一名市议会候选人于周六清晨因“参与骚乱”的轻罪指控被捕。一周前,他曾参与抗议一名联邦移民官员枪击一名委内瑞拉男子的示威活动。

JESSE BEDAYN, SARAH RANKIN AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas city council candidate was arrested Saturday morning on a misdemeanor charge for “riot participation,” a week after he was part of a protest against the shooting of a Venezuelan man by a federal immigration officer.

公共监狱记录未明确米萨埃尔·拉莫斯涉嫌骚乱的具体日期,但拉莫斯的律师表示,他的当事人被指控“于9月20日参与骚乱”,当天奥斯汀爆发了针对威尔伯·拉斐尔·加塞斯·佩雷斯被枪击事件的抗议活动。

Public jail records do not specify the date of Misael Ramos’ alleged rioting, but Ramos’ attorney said that his client was accused of “engaging in a riot on the 20th of September,” the day of the protests over the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin.

拉莫斯的竞选团队在新闻稿中表示,拉莫斯否认有任何不当行为,并将对该指控提出抗辩。

Ramos denies any wrongdoing and will contest the charge, his campaign said in a news release.

拉莫斯的律师埃德蒙·斯基普·戴维斯说:“我没有看到任何骚乱。我看到的是人们在那里高喊口号并进行抗议。”执法机构未立即回应美联社的提问,针对拉莫斯的指控细节目前尚不清楚。拉莫斯是美国民主社会主义党成员,正在竞选奥斯汀市议会议员。

“I didn’t see any riots,” said Ramos’ attorney, Edmund Skip Davis. “I saw people out there chanting and protesting.” The arresting agency didn’t immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press, and the details of the allegations against Ramos aren’t yet clear. Ramos, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is running for city council in Austin.

加塞斯·佩雷斯在与一名移民官员发生冲突后被枪击,随后被送往拘留中心。加塞斯·佩雷斯的律师称,他是一名寻求庇护者,并持有有效的工作许可。

Garces Perez was shot and then taken to a detention center after an encounter with an immigration officer. An attorney for Garces Perez has said he was an asylum seeker and had a valid work permit.

一些民主党人批评了此次枪击事件,该冲突在奥斯汀引发了抗议活动,包括周一晚上在得克萨斯州议会大厦外举行的一次集会。

Some Democrats have criticized the shooting, and the encounter has sparked protests in Austin, including a gathering outside the Texas Capitol on Monday night.

拉莫斯的竞选经理杰弗里·克莱蒙斯在向美联社提供的声明中表示:“与数百名对听到移民和海关执法局(ICE)官员从背后枪击某人感到震惊的奥斯汀市民一样,米萨埃尔迅速加入了事发现场的人群,以谴责该事件,并通过在抗议中坚守防线、高喊口号以及通过竞选渠道传播该事件来表明团结。”

“Like the hundreds of Austinites who were shocked to hear news that an ICE officer shot someone in the back, Misael quickly joined people at the scene of the incident to offer his condemnation of the incident and show solidarity by holding the line in the protest, chanting, and amplifying the incident through campaign channels,” Ramos’ campaign manager, Jeffrey Clemmons, said in a statement provided to AP.

特拉维斯县治安官办公室发言人克里斯滕·达克在一封电子邮件中证实,拉莫斯于周六上午9点30分左右因参与暴乱罪被收押入该机构羁押。

Kristen Dark, a spokeswoman for the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed in an email that Ramos was booked into the agency’s custody around 9:30 Saturday morning on a charge of participating in a riot.

达克表示,更多细节必须来自实施逮捕的德克萨斯州公共安全部。该部门未立即回复美联社的电话或电子邮件。

Dark said additional details would have to come from the Texas Department of Public Safety, which conducted the arrest. The agency didn’t immediately respond to calls or emails from the AP.

律师凯特·林肯-戈德芬奇表示,加尔塞斯·佩雷斯周日下午送DoorDash外卖时,移民与海关执法局(ICE)官员驾驶一辆无标识卡车两次剐蹭了他的车。她说,他被枪击并送往医院,随后在背部仍留有子弹的情况下被释放到ICE羁押中。

Garces Perez was making a DoorDash delivery Sunday afternoon when ICE officers in an unmarked truck sideswiped his car twice, his attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch has said. He was shot and taken to a hospital, then released into ICE custody with a bullet still in his back, she said.

ICE和国土安全部(DHS)除表示加尔塞斯·佩雷斯是“一次针对性车辆拦截的对象”外,未说明枪击的起因。

ICE and DHS haven’t said what led to the shooting beyond that Garces Perez was “the subject of a targeted vehicle stop.”
