Rep. James Walkinshaw criticized the use of heavily armed federal immigration agents in residential arrests, saying agents breaking into homes without judicial warrants runs against the “small government” principles many Republicans claim to support. His comments come as ICE faces fresh scrutiny after an agent shot and wounded 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while in his car in Austin. Perez allegedly still has the bullet lodged in his back, and federal agents have released few details about the case.
