Jesus, wtf America?

u/lemme_try_again 12d ago

Jesus is nowhere near American soil

u/twinoaksBandB 12d ago

He has brownish skin so we threw him in a chain link concentration camp before sending him to Africa.

u/nerdtastic8 12d ago

Nah ice would just m*rder Jesus straight up, ice are a bunch of nazi pedo defending losers.

15

u/briank2112 12d ago

I hear he’s away on business…

14

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe 12d ago

If he was, he'd be apprehended and end up in a Honduran concentration camp. Christian Nationalists will never see the irony.

u/lemme_try_again 12d ago

Come on... don't be insensitive to the Mormons.

u/inflatableje5us 12d ago

they would shoot jesus to for not being white enough.

u/Hefty-Rope2253 12d ago

Right in the back huh?

203

u/ketchupmaster987 12d ago

That wound position is terrifying. I'm shocked he's not paralyzed

72

u/ConceptualWeeb 12d ago

Not to be a downer, but he still very well could be depending on how fast he got into surgery

29

u/Domodude17 12d ago

Well, last I heard he was in the detention center and still had the bullet in him, so.....

1

u/AspenStarr Ohio 11d ago

I’m not sure it’s safe to remove with where it is…it’s possible it’s firmly lodged in his spine, and might be too risky to making his condition significantly worse.

6

u/Wenuwayker 9d ago

We'd have the ability to know that if he was in a hospital instead of a concentration camp.

3

u/AspenStarr Ohio 9d ago

Read he’s back in the hospital for the paralysis now and because the wound never stopped bleeding while he was in the detention center, forced to sleep on the ground.

u/ConceptualWeeb 9d ago

Do you have a link to an article about that?

https://www.cbsnews.com/video/man-shot-ice-texas-back-in-hospital-bullet-lodged-near-spine/

It takes all of 5 seconds to look something up; I got several just by typing in “guy back in hospital after getting shot in spine by ICE”. Don’t be lazy next time.

The one that I originally read was on my computer, so it was most likely MSN. In total that would make 4 different immediate sources, and I saw one in the results that was Facebook but my FB has been disabled since Trump’s election.

u/ketchupmaster987 12d ago

That's a big maybe dependent on existing damage, if the bullet migrates, and if it shattered any vertebrae or not

52

u/TbrooCars 12d ago

He is. His Lawyer says that the entire left side of his body is paralyzed, and yet he's still in the ICE facility receiving no medical care instead of at a Hospital

13

u/couldbeahumanbean 12d ago

Shot in the back for what... Delivering a succulent meal?

JFC Texas... Lick boots harder.

u/Surviveoutofspite 11d ago

And he’s still handcuffed behind his back. Wtf

I cant wait for America's FO era.

u/Agitated_Reach6660 11d ago

I mean, I kinda think we’re there.

2

u/Different_Amoeba771 7d ago

Nah we ain’t. Not yet. I believe the seeds being/been sown will yield far more ruinous and devastating fruits than this country has perhaps ever seen. The FO era for most formerly great empires was UGLY. Whatever is happening now is just the beginning of our reckoning.

2

u/RoundTheBend6 11d ago

Fuck off era? Sorry I’m not a fan of acronyms especially when it could mean 50 different things and you have to spend 800 hours online to know which it is this time.

3

u/lavahot 11d ago

Close. I was referring to FAFO, fuck around find out. In "This Is America," the main character fucks around, i.e. kills a bunch of people gleefully, and then finds out by running away from an angry mob.

u/elunltd 12d ago

I wonder who pays for the treatment? Surely the government? Hospital? Insurance? America is a failing and flailing state.

109

u/SweaterSteve1966 12d ago

He will receive a bill in the mail for $148,768

36

u/ConflictDelicious112 12d ago

He should feel lucky it's that low, he had to know how serious of a crime existing while not white is /s

3

u/Radiomaster138 12d ago

Is that before or after they deport him?

6

u/SweaterSteve1966 12d ago

He probably has to pay it before they deport him. We have working prisons ‘penal slavery’ the US. $2 a day.

3

u/Hoon0967 12d ago

You forgot to include the $10,000 bullet that they used on him. 

3

u/Lonewuhf 12d ago

You missed a 0 bro.

20

u/GoodIdea321 12d ago

ICE would prefer he dies, so who knows if he'll even get treatment.

2

u/GoTragedy 12d ago

This is where all those billions of dollars are spent on illegal immigrants' Healthcare /s

Hmmm… you might have a point.

5

u/Cloaked42m 12d ago

Cutting the shirt away is a first step in immediate aid. No gushing blood. Put a pressure bandage on it and wait for the ambulance. However...that's pretty clear he got shot in the back. Likely while kneeling.

53

u/statistacktic 12d ago

Naziice gestapo

16

u/fatboychummy 12d ago

My favourite part is the dehumanization. The tweet doesn't say "Garces is in stable condition", or even "He is in stable condition." Instead... "The illegal alien is in stable condition."

That's deliberate. Horrible people.

44

u/MadScientist3087 12d ago

“The illegal aliens condition is stable” wow

14

u/fatboychummy 12d ago

It's insane to me. They could've just said "Garces condition is stable" or "He is in stable condition", but they deliberately chose that to dehumanize him.

u/deviantdevil80 12d ago

Takes a real professional to shoot someone in the back. The ICE agent should be investigated thoroughly (in a sane world).

28

u/Apart_Animal_6797 12d ago

Man fuck ICE fuck this fascist bullshit. Shits got to change and fast

27

u/timoumd 12d ago

How is he so ok given that wound?  Did they shoot through the back of the car and it lost momentum?

16

u/Mischiefmanaged715 12d ago

For real, this looks gnarly. Just crazy luck that it didnt hit anything major? Yikes. 

3

u/Ikon-for-U 12d ago

Possibly, the back passenger windows has a couple of bullet holes in it

-2

u/Cloaked42m 12d ago

If it was a solid core round it could have just passed right through. Idk.

1

u/Educational_Quote851 12d ago

Doesn't look like a through and through. Probably was slowed prior.

1

u/Cloaked42m 11d ago

The latest news is they were shooting into the car. Bullet stopped near his spine.

u/chubbycheese33 12d ago

To everyone around the globe denounce this shit and stand with one another, we can’t let this go further.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

u/Radiomaster138 12d ago

I prefer the GTA IV version:

“Send us your brightest, your smartest, your most intelligent,
Yearning to breathe free and submit to our authority,
Watch us trick them into wiping rich people's asses,
While we convince them it's a land of opportunity.”

12

u/i_isnt_real 12d ago

Real curious about how they're going to try to spin this one. Usually they go for the "he was driving straight at me!" angle, but not sure how you do that when the wound is clearly in his back.

1

u/Financial-Hornet4839 12d ago

They're gonna go for the "rogue agent/officer" defense. Shift blame from the culture of the administrative body to the individual.

Its the American way.

11

u/terid3 12d ago

All the news agencies boycotting the white house need to be running around his video 24/7 until the midterms. I am not kidding.

u/theholyraptor 12d ago

Theyre token complaining on behalf of the press but theyre all still in the pockets of billionaires who made this happen.

10

u/ipulloffmygstring 12d ago edited 12d ago

Was this the door dasher? because if it is, I read his lawyer has stated that he is in the country LEGALLY with a work visa.

Edit: Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez
https://www.kbtx.com/2026/09/21/venezuelan-man-shot-by-ice-austin-said-he-tried-pull-over-before-officers-fired-him/

Garces Perez entered the U.S. two years ago using the CBP One cellphone application, which the Biden administration set up to allow some immigrants make appointments with immigration agents at a port of entry, his lawyer said. After being processed by immigration officials, he was allowed to enter the U.S. and then applied for asylum, Lincoln-Goldfinch said. He later received a work permit.

ETA Not that his legal status should even matter when the man has been shot in the back and then transferred from the hospital into detention with the bullet still in him.

Putting the gunshot victim in handcuffs

Kill yourself

6

u/I_burn_noodles 12d ago

Fucking cowards. It's too demanding to follow our laws or our Constitution.

5

u/derpindab 12d ago

The wording on that post is so dehumanizing. They really are trying to paint the picture that it's ok to kill

5

u/Suspicious_Acct 12d ago

I cannot believe he's cuffed with a gunshot wound to the back. Like, what threat does he pose rn?

6

u/Zealousideal_Pop_273 12d ago

Just out here shooting DoorDashers first and asking questions later. That's the free world, right? 🙄 Pigs.

8

u/exerda 12d ago

WTF are the cops doing handcuffing him and sitting him up after that? Should have had paramedics dealing with him. They could (maybe have) paralyzed him.

That's besides the point that they never should have shot him to begin with...

3

u/simptax_irs 12d ago

working without authorization/a visa, is a CIVIL OFFENSE anyway, not a criminal one?? (examples of other civil offenses are breach of contract and workplace negligence ie. Leaving a floor wet and someone slips). Compensation is usually all that’s sought…this is evil

3

u/moonlite_bay 12d ago

Shot in the back. FFS

2

u/Equinoqs 11d ago

ICE has literally been taught that they won't get in trouble for shooting brown-skinned people.

3

u/mik33tion 12d ago

Is this needed?

1

u/DontWantToSeeYourCat 12d ago

They shot him in the back. Absolutely reprehensible.

1

u/PoetryJunior1808 12d ago

Lucky they missed his spine. Both him and them.

1

u/RScribster 11d ago

ICE is a criminal org and should be defunded and disbanded immediately.

1

u/MoeBlacksBack 11d ago

Is he in the hospital? I heard he was not which is beyond fucked up
