ICE shooting rocks Austin as Democrat demands bodycam video, independent probe
A Democratic congressman has demanded answers after alleging that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot someone during an operation in Austin, Texas, on Sunday morning. Austin officials scheduled a news conference to address what the city called an ICE shooting, amid wider scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement and calls for transparency.

Representative Greg Casar called for an independent investigation and the immediate release of body-camera footage, while officials withheld further details; the article also places the incident alongside recent fatal shootings and protests linked to immigration operations elsewhere in the United States.
