Rep. Gomez Demands Accountability and Transparency for Man Shot by ICE in Austin, TX
Position: Members of Congress demand that ICE release Wilber Rafael Garces Perez from detention for medical treatment, halt efforts to deport him, keep the responsible agent in Texas, and preserve and share evidence for an independent investigation of the shooting.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) and over 100 Members of Congress demanded that ICE immediately release Wilber Rafael Garces Perez from detention to allow him to receive medical treatment and stop its efforts to deport him. Mr. Garces Perez is a 28-year-old DoorDash driver who was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin, TX on September 20, 2026.
In a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting ICE Director David Venturella, the Members demand that:
ICE release Mr. Garces Perez from detention so he can receive medical treatment;
ICE abandon efforts to swiftly deport him or remove him from Texas;
The ICE agent responsible remain in Texas; and
DHS preserve all available evidence related to the shooting and share all evidence with parties that have jurisdiction to conduct a full, independent, and transparent investigation.
Rather than receiving medical care, Mr. Garces Perez is being held at "the South Texas Detention Complex in Pearsall, Texas, which has a documented history of medical neglect," the Members write. "According to his lawyers, he still has the bullet lodged in his body. He's received no pain medication and had to sleep on the floor.'"
"Mr. Garces Perez is a key witness to this shooting, and given ICE's history of obscuring the facts in similar investigations, he must not be removed," the Members write.
The Members demand answers by Monday, September 28th, including:
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?

Rep. Gomez Responds to DHS Decision to Delay Deportations as TPS for Salvadorans Expires
Position: The release calls on the government to provide certainty to Salvadoran TPS holders, stating that families deserve certainty rather than prolonged fear of deportation, and describes the DHS delay as offering only partial relief.
"With TPS for Salvadorans scheduled to expire today, more than 170,000 people, including 30,000 in my district, face being uprooted from lives built over decades in the United States. DHS’s decision to delay deportations offers some relief, but families deserve certainty, not prolonged fear." said Gomez. "TPS holders are our neighbors, friends, and family members. They deserve certainty, not to live in fear that any given day in America could be their last."

WATCH: Rep. Gomez Announces $149.9 Million in Federal Funding for LA’s Busiest Bus Corridor in House Floor Speech
Position: Rep. Gomez announced $149.9 million in federal Capital Investment Grant funding for the Vermont Avenue Bus Rapid Transit project in Los Angeles and characterized the investment as a major step toward improved transit.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) announced $149.9 million in new federal funding for Metro’s Vermont Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project, a major investment to deliver faster, more reliable service along Los Angeles County’s busiest bus corridor.
Gomez, who advocated for the project alongside members of the Los Angeles congressional delegation, announced the funding during remarks on the House floor Tuesday.
“For too many Angelenos, a bus ride to work, school, or home takes far too long. Today, we’re changing that,” said Rep. Gomez. “With this federal funding, Angelenos will soon have a transit option that gets them where they need to go faster, safer, and on-time. This federal investment, which is the maximum federal contribution allowed, is a major step toward a more connected, affordable, and livable LA.”
Watch Rep. Gomez’s full remarks here
The 12.4-mile Vermont Avenue BRT project will create dedicated bus lanes and 26 enhanced stations along the Vermont Avenue corridor. Once fully operational, Metro projects the line will serve more than 66,200 riders every day, making it the highest-ridership Bus Rapid Transit line in the United States.
The project is also expected to:
Cut travel times by 24 percent
Support more than 1,000 jobs during each year of construction
Connect riders to Metro’s B, C, D, and E rail lines and other major bus routes
Improve access to jobs, schools, health care, and other destinations throughout Los Angeles.
The $149.9 million award represents the maximum federal contribution permitted under the FTA’s Capital Investment Grant Small Starts Program and matches Metro’s full federal funding request.
Metro intends to complete the project ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, when millions of visitors are expected to travel throughout Los Angeles.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez Delivers Keynote Address to Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
Position: Rep. Gomez argues that hosting the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics presents an opportunity for long-term federal and regional investment in transit, infrastructure, housing, and business growth. He opposes President Trump's unilateral tariffs and supports congressional authority over trade policy, and he advocates expanded housing and caregiving affordability measures, small business contracting, workforce development, and a more stable immigration system.
LOS ANGELES, CA — Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) delivered the keynote address to the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce as part of its Pancakes & Politics speaker series. During his keynote, Gomez pointed to Los Angeles’ role as host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make lasting investments in the region’s future.
“Los Angeles has a unique opportunity to show the world what the future can look like.” said Gomez. “The World Cup just put us on the global stage. The Olympics and Paralympics are next. But I’m not thinking about a few weeks of competition. I’m thinking about the next 50 years. Better transit. Stronger infrastructure. More housing. More businesses starting and growing here. More people with a real shot at the middle class. That’s the legacy we should be building.”
Rep. Gomez highlighted his work in Congress to address some of the biggest barriers facing Los Angeles families and businesses, including:
Lowering housing and caregiving costs: Rep. Gomez hosted the first-ever national summits on the housing affordability and caregiving crises to bring together business leaders, advocates, labor, and policymakers around solutions to two of the fastest-growing costs facing working families. Gomez has also introduced legislation to expand homeownership and convert vacant and underutilized commercial space into housing.
Protecting Los Angeles businesses from rising costs: As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Gomez has pushed back against President Trump’s arbitrary tariffs that increase input costs for businesses and raise prices for consumers. Gomez is a cosponsor of the Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act, which would reassert Congress’ constitutional authority over trade policy and prevent the President from unilaterally imposing arbitrary tariffs.
Expanding opportunities for small businesses: Rep. Gomez introduced the Accelerating Small Business Growth Act to increase the share of federal infrastructure contracts awarded to small and disadvantaged businesses by 50 percent, helping minority-owned, and immigrant-owned businesses compete for federal investments.
Building and retaining Los Angeles’ workforce: Rep. Gomez has pushed for greater federal investment in workforce development and fought efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle Job Corps. He has also advocated for affordable housing, child care, health care, and a more stable immigration system so Los Angeles businesses can attract and retain the workers they need.
The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce’s Pancakes & Politics is a long-running breakfast speaker series designed to connect business leaders with influential elected officials, government administrators, and other policy leaders. Since 2006, the program has featured prominent figures from local, state, and federal government and has provided an intimate setting for discussion of issues affecting the Los Angeles region, including transportation, education, homelessness, insurance, and economic development.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez Delivers Keynote Remarks at American Postal Workers Union National Convention
Position: Rep. Gomez expresses support for postal workers' wages, benefits, safe workplaces, retirement security, and collective bargaining rights, and for maintaining a strong, affordable, public Postal Service. The release also highlights his prior actions opposing postal privatization and supporting emergency postal funding.
LOS ANGELES, CA — Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) delivered keynote remarks at the American Postal Workers Union’s (APWU) 28th Biennial National Convention in Los Angeles, highlighting his commitment to postal workers, organized labor, and protecting the United States Postal Service.
Gomez, a former union organizer and the son of working-class immigrants, spoke about how his upbringing shaped his commitment to working families and emphasized the importance of collective bargaining and strong worker protections.
“Before I came to Congress, I was a union organizer because I saw what happens when working people come together and demand better: better wages, better benefits, a better future, and that’s what still drives me today,” said Rep. Gomez. “Postal workers deserve good wages, strong benefits, safe workplaces, secure retirements, and the right to bargain collectively, and every American deserves a strong, affordable, public Postal Service.”
In Congress, Rep. Gomez has consistently been a champion for organized labor, America’s postal workers, and ensuring postal service is not privatized, including:
Halted the closure of the Chinatown Contract Postal Unit protecting critical services for community members, particularly seniors, low-income residents, and families facing language and transportation barriers.
Eliminate an unfair, multi-billion-dollar financial burden on USPS to pay decades of future retiree health costs in advance, while protecting the benefits postal workers earned.
Supporting $25 billion in emergency funding for the Postal Service during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with hazard pay for frontline workers and investments to modernize postal infrastructure.
Passing legislation to honor local heroes through neighborhood post offices, including Marine Corps Private Jacob Cruz in Boyle Heights and Korean independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang Ho in Koreatown.
The APWU represents more than 200,000 postal and private-sector mailing industry employees nationwide. Its 28th Biennial National Convention is being held August 17–20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez Visits Para Los Niños to Sound the Alarm on Trump Admin's Attack on Head Start
Position: Rep. Gomez opposes the Trump Administration's proposed overhaul of Head Start standards, which would eliminate or weaken federal requirements for the early childhood program, and calls for strengthening Head Start and increasing early education investment.
(Left to right): Luis Bautista, Head Start and Early Learning Division Executive Director (LACOE), Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), Katherine Nelson, Vice President of Student Success (PLN), Lorena Rodriguez, Managing Director, Early Education (PLN), Drew Furedi, President and CEO (PLN), Sarah Figueroa-Freeman, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer (PLN)
Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) visited Para Los Niños’ W.M. Keck Foundation Early Education Center in Westlake following the Trump Administration’s newly proposed overhaul of Head Start standards, which would eliminate or weaken numerous federal requirements governing the early childhood education program. This sweeping rollback of protections would eliminate requirements designed to ensure children receive safe, high-quality care, and create a patchwork of standards that could leave families with fewer protections and less accountability.
During the visit, Gomez met with parents, educators, and Para Los Niños leadership to hear directly about what the proposed changes could mean for Los Angeles families who rely on Head Start. He also toured classrooms at the center, which provides tuition-free early education and support services to approximately 60 children ages three to five from qualifying low-income families.
“Head Start is a lifeline for working families in Los Angeles, and the Trump Administration’s attempt to dismantle the standards that protect this program puts our kids at risk,” said Gomez. “Families are already struggling with the high cost of child care and preschool. We should be strengthening Head Start and investing more in early education, not tearing it apart. I’ll fight these changes and do everything I can to protect Head Start for the families who depend on it.”
Gomez has long worked to support families and strengthen community resources in Westlake. His federal investments in the community include:
$350,000 for Para Los Niños’ Youth Workforce Services Project to hire four additional career advisors at its Westlake and Lincoln Heights centers, expanding academic, employment, and post-secondary education support for young people.
$850,000 for Union Towers Computer Lab Renovations and Technology Upgrades to restore and modernize computer labs for public housing residents, including at Union Towers in Westlake.
$850,000 for the Clark Residence Project to make critical repairs and upgrades to a 152-unit Westlake housing development serving formerly unhoused Angelenos.
$1 million for Clínica Monseñor Oscar A. Romero’s Community Center Revitalization Project to expand mental health care, substance-use prevention and treatment, health education, and other services for residents of Westlake and Pico-Union.
$850,000 for Metro’s Regional Bus Stop Enhancement Program to improve seating, shade, accessibility, technology, and safety at bus stops throughout the district.
Para Los Niños serves more than 10,000 people annually across Los Angeles through early education, TK-8 education, youth workforce development, family support, and community empowerment programs.

Rep. Gomez Votes to End Trump's War with Iran Following House Passage of War Powers Resolution
Position: Rep. Gomez voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution to end U.S. military action against Iran and argues the conflict should not have begun without congressional authorization.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) voted for the fifth time in favor of a War Powers Resolution to end President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. The vote came just days after four American servicemembers were killed in Iranian strikes, with the resolution passing the House with unanimous Democratic support and four Republican votes.
“I just left the house floor where I voted to end Trump's reckless war with Iran, a war that never should have been started in the first place. Just this week four service members have been killed by Iranian strikes,” said Rep. Gomez. “Now we have families that are struggling and suffering because they lost their loved ones, but we also have families who are struggling and suffering because Trump's war is driving up the cost of living in this country. That's why I voted once again to end this war through a war powers resolution.”
Rep. Gomez has consistently opposed President Trump's unauthorized military actions against Iran and has repeatedly voted to reassert Congress' constitutional authority to declare war.

Position: Rep. Gomez joined the End Corruption Caucus and expresses support for legislation banning congressional and presidential stock trading, restricting corporate settlements that shield prosecution, and requiring disclosure of major donors to political spending groups.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) joined the End Corruption Caucus, a coalition of lawmakers committed to rooting out corruption in government, restoring transparency and accountability, and ensuring the federal government works for the American people and not the wealthy and well-connected.
“Americans are tired of watching our elected leaders use their position and power to cash in while working families struggle to afford the basics,” said Rep. Gomez. “I’m joining the End Corruption Caucus to stop insider trading in Congress, take dark money out of politics, and hold both parties accountable to the people.”
Rep. Gomez is a leading voice in the fight to expose corruption, demand accountability, and protect democratic institutions. He has consistently spoken out against abuses of power, called out efforts by President Trump to personally profit from the presidency, and used congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable.
Rep. Gomez has also backed legislation to strengthen ethics laws and restore public trust, including:
The Restore Trust in Government Act, which would ban Presidents, Vice Presidents, Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks to eliminate conflicts of interest and ensure officials serve the public—not their portfolios.
The Don't Settle for Corruption Act, which would prevent federal agencies from allowing corporations and powerful individuals to escape accountability through settlement agreements that shield them from criminal prosecution.
The DISCLOSE Act, which would shine a light on dark money in federal elections by requiring organizations spending money to influence campaigns to disclose their major donors.
The End Corruption Caucus was launched by Representatives Jason Crow (CO-06), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), and Mike Levin (CA-49), and works to advance legislation that strengthens ethics laws, limits the influence of dark money in politics, increases government transparency, and restores Americans' trust in their elected leaders.

Unannounced Gomez Inspection Reveals ICE Is Temporarily Closing Downtown LA Detention Facility, Transferring 22 People to Santa Ana
Position: The release supports congressional authority to conduct unannounced inspections of immigration detention facilities and criticizes the Trump administration's prior attempt to restrict such visits. It also supports redirecting the $175 billion ICE and CBP funding increase toward housing affordability through the Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act.
WATCH: Congressman Gomez reports from outside the B-18 detention facility following today’s inspection
LOS ANGELES, CA — An unannounced congressional inspection by Congressman Jimmy Gomez today revealed that ICE is temporarily closing its B-18 detention facility in Downtown Los Angeles and transferring all 22 people currently detained there to a facility in Santa Ana.
ICE officials disclosed the planned closure and transfers after Gomez arrived at B-18 without advance notice to inspect conditions inside the facility. Officials told Gomez that the facility is being temporarily closed because ICE expects demonstrations in the area this weekend.
The closure and transfers had not been publicly announced before Gomez’s inspection.
“The public only knows about this because we showed up unannounced and demanded answers,” said Congressman Gomez. “I sued the Trump administration to protect Congress’s right to conduct these inspections, and I won. ICE cannot operate behind closed doors, and I will keep showing up to hold them accountable.”
Today’s disclosure demonstrates the importance of preserving Congress’s authority to conduct unannounced inspections of immigration detention facilities. After the Trump administration attempted to block Members of Congress from entering ICE facilities without advance notice, Gomez personally sued the administration and won, restoring Congress’s ability to conduct surprise oversight visits.
Since the Trump administration began its immigration raids in Los Angeles, Gomez has repeatedly confronted ICE and worked to protect the constitutional rights of people in his district. He went directly from the airport to Chinatown during the initial raids and successfully pressed federal agents to leave the area to defuse the situation. He has also conducted repeated detention-facility inspections, trained community members to serve as legal observers, organized town halls and provided legal resources to thousands of constituents.
Gomez also introduced the Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act, legislation that would redirect the Trump administration’s $175 billion funding increase for ICE and Customs and Border Protection toward housing affordability and working families.

Rep. Gomez Condemns ICE Killings on House Floor: “No Matter Who You Are or What Title You Hold, You Will Be Prosecuted”
Position: Rep. Gomez condemns recent fatal shootings by ICE agents, argues ICE operates without adequate accountability, transparency, or body-camera compliance, and criticizes Congressional Republicans for continuing to fund ICE without meaningful oversight.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) delivered a House floor speech tracing how the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant push escalated from the first raids in Los Angeles into an increasingly violent nationwide campaign, culminating in the recent deaths of two fathers, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero.
Gomez argued that the killings were the foreseeable consequence of repeated warnings being ignored, accountability being abandoned, and Congressional Republicans continuing to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without meaningful oversight, and he put agents and officials who violate constitutional rights on notice that their actions will not be forgotten or excused.
Watch Rep. Gomez's full House floor speech here.
REP. GOMEZ: "Thirteen months ago, when Trump's immigration raids began in my district, I warned exactly where this was headed. I warned that if ICE agents were allowed to operate without accountability, that violence would escalate. I warned that people would die. I didn't want to be right. But here we are.
"This isn't normal. This isn't law enforcement. This is lawlessness. No due process. No Miranda rights. Instead, some in Trump's ICE are acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
"This is what happens when people who wear the badge are told the rules don’t apply to them.
Over the last year, we've witnessed ICE become more violent, more reckless, and more deadly. We've witnessed masked agents jump out of unmarked vehicles. We've witnessed people tackled, beaten, and shot. We've even seen children used as bait to detain their parents.
“And what has this administration done? What have Congressional Republicans done? Not a darn thing. No accountability. No transparency. No consequences.
“Last week, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo left for work and never came home. His son, Ronaldo, said something every Member of this chamber should hear:
“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of ‘Mexican man shot and killed by ICE.’ He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—a husband, a father, and a job creator.”
“Then yesterday, a little girl in Maine watched her father’s lifeless body being carried away by ICE. Think about that. Two fathers, two families, shattered. And in both cases, ICE wasn’t even targeting the men who died.
“ICE claims these men used their vehicles as weapons. But local news video tells a different story. It shows unmarked vehicles following them. It shows what happens before the shootings. And it shows that ICE wasn’t wearing body cameras, despite its own policies.
“This administration is asking Americans not to believe our own eyes over and over again. That is not acceptable. What’s even more unacceptable is that my Republican colleagues have watched this happen and responded by giving ICE billions of dollars more.
“How many more families have to bury a loved one before Republicans admit something is deeply wrong? The truth is, they know it’s wrong. They’re just too afraid to say it. Too afraid of Donald Trump. Too afraid of the political consequences. And I know, and they know where this leads.
“When these raids began in Los Angeles, I flew immediately back from Washington to conduct oversight and protect my communities. When the Trump administration tried to block me from inspecting ICE detention centers, I sued them—and won. I’ve trained legal observers to ICE document abuses, organized town halls, and introduced legislation to reclaim Trump’s $175 billion ICE slush fund and put it into housing.
“Every Representative here has a choice. They can keep writing blank checks for fear and abuse. Or they can join us in saying enough. Enough lawlessness. Enough brutality. Enough deaths.
“We warned this country what would happen. We warned that without accountability, that violence would escalate. We warned that people would die.
“Now hear this warning: if you committed a crime, if you violated the constitution, if you thought a badge put you above the law, you are wrong.
“We are watching, the American people are watching, and history is watching. And no matter who you are or the title you hold, you will be prosecuted. Accountability is coming.
