Man injured after New York shooting involving ICE
The shooting happened in the afternoon in the Bronx, with details still emerging. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the incident and urged Donald Trump to end ICE actions in the city.
On Thursday, a man was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during an arrest in the Bronx, New York City, according to the metropolitan police. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. local time in the Marble Hill neighborhood. The New York Police Department (NYPD) denies any involvement in the shooting. The victim is currently conscious and receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.
This shooting, which comes amid increased ICE raids in major US cities, has sparked protests and condemnation from local officials. New York City Zohran Mamdani, a prominent figure, has called for an end to ICE enforcement actions in the city and contacted President Trump. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has demanded a full and transparent accounting of the incident, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified the victim as a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with ties to the Trinitarios gang.
The DHS also stated that an ICE officer discharged his weapon during the incident and provided immediate aid. The controversy surrounding deadly ICE and Border Patrol shootings has been a contentious issue during President Trump's second term.
