Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

ICE agents in New York City shot a man in his car with a 5-year-old child present, wounding him but not the child, according to officials. The incident, which occurred in Marble Hill, has sparked public outrage and calls for an end to ICE enforcement actions in the city.

The shooting happened Thursday as ICE agents tried to detain Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican man with a criminal history. Belgal was arrested in December 2023 and released, according to DHS. ICE agents fired at his car after he resisted officers, leading to the shooting. The man is being treated at a hospital and is conscious.

DHS officials defended the agents' actions, stating they believed their lives and the public's were in danger. Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the incident 'unconscionable' and demanded an end to ICE raids in New York. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of children and the impact of immigration enforcement on the city.
