Summary

Misael Ramos, a candidate for Austin City Council District 1, was arrested by Texas Department of Public Safety officers on a Class B misdemeanor charge of riot participation following a September 20 protest in North Austin against the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan asylum seeker with a valid work permit, by an ICE agent during a traffic stop. According to authorities, the shooting occurred during a vehicle stop where the ICE officer claimed Garces Perez sideswiped his vehicle; a federal judge has temporarily barred deportation and Garces Perez remains in ICE custody with a bullet lodged in his back. Ramos was detained while walking his dog and processed at Travis County Jail; he denies wrongdoing and plans to contest the charge. Reports indicate video footage shows Ramos moving sandbags and construction barriers to block vehicles. Ramos was released from jail and held a press conference expressing gratitude to supporters and criticizing federal immigration enforcement. At least three to approximately 20 additional individuals faced or could face arrest warrants related to the same protest. A press conference addressed concerns about arrest conditions and treatment of protesters.
