Man shot during reported ICE operation in New York

A man was shot Thursday during an interaction with federal agents in New York, according to city police. The NYPD was not involved in the incident, which occurred in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of the Bronx at around 4pm. News outlets reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was involved in an operation at the time of the shooting, which has raised concerns about the use of force by ICE agents and the lack of transparency surrounding the incident.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding the shooting, while Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition, demanded an immediate investigation, the release of body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE agents who used excessive force. ICE has been involved in several high-profile shootings this year, including the killing of two US citizens in Minneapolis, which sparked angry protests.
