ICE OUT!

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot in the back by ICE agents on September 20, 2026. Austin residents have held a series of protests against the ICE shooting of Wilber Perez who has been detained by ICE with a bullet still lodged in his back. Misael Ramos, candidate for City Council District 1, was arrested on September 26, 2026 by DPS and Texas Rangers for inciting a riot—a Class B Misdemeanor. We have to ask ourselves who is really inciting riots? The protest is our expression of our objection and disapproval of ICE’s violent, destructive, and uncontrolled behavior that is disrupting the peace. ICE has murdered numerous innocent residents, separated children from their parents, and busted down residents’ doors to make unlawful arrests. We have witnessed, whether in person or through media, the stunned sad face of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, a preschooler, who watched his father being arrested by ICE or of Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse with Minneapolis Veteran’s Affairs being shot and killed by ICE, and ChongLY Thao having ICE break down his door to arrest him-even though he is a U.S. citizen. There are so many victims of ICE’s violent, destructive and uncontrolled behavior that is disrupting the peace of humanity. So, who is inciting riots? The charges against Misael Ramos and others should be dismissed and charges against ICE should be filed for inciting riots, unlawful search and seizure, and trespassing. DHS must also be required to share information regarding the murders of innocent people on the streets as well as ICE detention and most importantly, Mr. Garces Perez must receive immediate medical treatment before he becomes another ICE tragic death and succumbs to an infection or other complication form his untreated wounds.

¡Es tu PODER!

Help Sustain PODER and the Movement for Environmental Justice

On May 1, 2026, PODER (People Organized in Defense of the Earth and her Resources) celebrated its 35th anniversary. By year’s end, we may shut our doors.

We’ve faced many challenges over the last three decades—from polluting facilities in our neighborhoods and gentrification to extreme weather events and threats to our natural resources—but we continue to endure against all odds. Today, we battle multibillion dollar companies and a council determined to sell out every inch of land in town, insensitive to our city’s most critical challenges of affordability and environmental health. Funding cuts, which heightened in the wake of the Trump administration, now jeopardize PODER’s future. Learn more about our emergency fundraiser here.
