The Members request answers by Monday, September 28th. Their questions include: Why did agents use deadly force? ICE's use of force policy requires officers to render medical aid, and video suggests they did not. Why was that policy not followed? What is Mr. Garces Perez's current medical condition? What treatment is he receiving in immigration detention? Will ICE release all bodycam footage?
Correa joined other House members in requesting answers from DHS and ICE by September 28 about the use of deadly force, medical aid, detention treatment, and body-camera footage in the Garces Perez shooting.
