Original: Immigrant shot by ICE in Austin is charged with assault by Justice Department
Federal prosecutors have filed assault charges against an immigrant who was shot by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Austin, Texas. The Justice Department's decision to pursue the case has drawn criticism from immigration advocates, who question why the wounded man faces prosecution rather than scrutiny of the shooting itself. The incident adds to ongoing debate over the use of force by immigration agents.
Why now: The irony of an immigrant being shot by ICE and then charged with assault has intensified the immigration enforcement debate.
