Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, a 31-year-old Mexican immigrant who came to the U.S. at age 13, died from injuries sustained when a gunman opened fire on an ICE transport van outside a Dallas ICE facility on September 24, 2025. Witnesses and his wife said he shielded a fellow detainee with his body before being shot roughly eight times; he was later removed from life support at Parkland Hospital. García-Hernández worked as a painter and contractor, had been married to U.S. citizen Stephany Gauffeny since 2016, and was the sole provider for their four children, with a fifth on the way and a newly purchased first home. He had been detained since August 8 following a DUI arrest, with evading arrest charges later dropped, while pursuing legal status through a visa petition sponsored by his wife. He was the second of two detainees to die from the attack, which federal investigators said targeted immigration officers. Gauffeny said, "My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family."
