A man was shot and injured in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement incident in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, according to officials.

He was transported to a local hospital in North Austin, where he is in serious but stable condition, officials said during a press conference.

ABC News has reached out to ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety for a comment.

The incident occurred near the intersection of Research Boulevard and Anderson Square, where a blue Toyota Corolla was at the scene with bullet holes and damage to the passenger-side door, according to ABC News' Austin affiliate KVUE.

Rep. Greg Casar, D-Austin, released a statement on X following the shooting, saying, "The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law."
