The man, who has not yet been identified, was transported to a hospital and was in stable condition, according to The New York Times.
Democratic Texas Rep. Greg Casar announced on Instagram that he is “demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.”
“Over and over, ICE has shot people and then lied about what happened. We can see the lies with our own eyes,” Casar continued. “We will demand truth, transparency, and accountability.
