Brenden Cuni's name pops up after ICE shoots Oscar Belgal in New York City; locals share Marble Hill Operation photos
Social media posts from independent journalists have alleged that the ICE supervisor, Brenden Cuni, was present during the New York City shooting.
Brenden Cuni, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervisor, has been the subject of online speculation following a shooting incident in New York City's Marble Hill neighborhood on October 8. The victim, identified as Oscar Belgal, was shot and wounded by a federal agent during an operation. Social media users quickly shared images and claims identifying Cuni as one of the agents involved in the incident.
However, authorities have not publicly identified the shooter, and there is no independently verified evidence confirming that Cuni was the individual who fired the weapon. The New York Police Department confirmed that the shooting occurred around 4 p.m. and that federal law enforcement agents were involved but not NYPD officers.
ICE stated that the agents were conducting a targeted operation to arrest an alleged illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Cuni, a supervisory detention and deportation officer, has a history of facing lawsuits related to immigration enforcement operations, including one involving excessive force allegations.
