安娜·怀尔德、萨菲亚·里德尔，得克萨斯州奥斯汀——得州联邦检察官周二宣布，对一名委内瑞拉配送司机提出袭击指控；该司机于9月20日遭移民执法人员开枪击中背部。
ANNA WILDER, SAFIYAH RIDDLE AUSTIN, Texas — Federal prosecutors in Texas announced on Tuesday assault charges against a Venezuelan delivery driver who was shot in the back by immigration enforcement agents on Sept. 20.
美国得克萨斯州西区联邦检察官贾斯廷·R·西蒙斯表示，联邦起诉书指控，28岁的威尔伯·拉斐尔·加尔塞斯-佩雷斯试图逃离美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）；在法官签发最终遣返令后，ICE人员将他拦下。
A federal complaint alleges Wilber Rafael Garces-Perez, 28, tried to escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who pulled him over after a judge issued a final removal order, according to U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas.
起诉书指控他使用驾驶座一侧的后视镜刮擦一名执法人员，之后又试图驾车撞向该执法人员。如果被定罪，加尔塞斯-佩雷斯最高可能被判处20年监禁。加尔塞斯-佩雷斯的律师周二上午拒绝立即置评。
The complaint accuses him of sideswiping an officer with his drivers side car mirror and later attempting to strike an officer with his car. If convicted Garces-Perez faces up to 20 years in prison. An attorney for Garces-Perez declined to immediately comment on Tuesday morning.
据称，加尔塞斯-佩雷斯出示了驾驶执照，但无视执法人员要求他下车的请求。他还与一名联邦执法人员用西班牙语交谈，讨论挪车和停车事宜。法庭文件称，“对话语气平和，并不具有攻击性。”法庭文件进一步称，大约一分钟后，加尔塞斯-佩雷斯“突然”关上车窗并驾车离开。其中一名执法人员L.G.的躯干被驾驶座一侧的后视镜撞到。
Garces-Perez allegedly provided his drivers license, but ignored agents’ requests to step out of the car. He allegedly engaged in a Spanish conversation with one of the federal officers about moving the car and parking it, and the court documents state “the conversational tone was pleasant and not aggressive.”The court documents further allege that about a minute later, Garces-Perez “abruptly” closed the window and drove off. One of the officers, L.G. was struck in his torso with the driver’s side view mirror.
加尔塞斯-佩雷斯于2024年通过CBP One进入美国。该计划由乔·拜登总统任内启动，允许移民与美国当局预约，以接受庇护资格审议。唐纳德·特朗普总统上任第一天便终止了这项计划。
Garces-Perez entered the U.S. in 2024 using CBP One, a program begun under President Joe Biden that allowed migrants to make appointments with U.S. authorities to be considered for asylum. President Donald Trump ended the program on his first day in office.
据移民律师凯特·林肯-戈德芬奇称，加尔塞斯-佩雷斯正在申请庇护，并持有有效的工作许可。她说，由于听证通知被寄往他的旧址，加尔塞斯-佩雷斯错过了一次移民法庭听证，法官随后签发了驱逐令。
Garces-Perez was an asylum seeker and had a valid work permit, according to immigration lawyer Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch. She said a judge issued a deportation order after Garces-Perez missed an immigration court hearing because the notice was sent to a former address.
