  HOT TOPICS: Shot While Delivering Food: What Really Happened To Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez 25.09.2026 55min

  A 28-year-old DoorDash driver was shot by an ICE officer in Austin, Texas and his attorney says the bullet is still lodged in his back. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez survived the shooting, was hospitalized twice and was then returned to immigration detention. His attorney says he later experienced loss of feeling on the left side of his body. And one major question remains: the ICE officer who shot him was reportedly not wearing a body camera. Don speaks with Wilber's attorney, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, to ask what happened in the moments before the shooting, why there is no bodycam footage from the officer who fired, what evidence exists, why Wilber was returned to detention after being hospitalized, and what his family wants from the federal government. Plus, an exclusive conversation with Senator Mark Kelly about facing what he describes as intimidation from the Trump administration, Pete Hegseth, the future of AI and his warning about Donald Trump.
