NYPD releases surveillance footage of Marble Hill ICE shooting

Protests erupted in New York City's Marble Hill neighborhood after a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a 28-year-old man, Oscar Belgal, in the neck on Thursday. The shooting occurred during a targeted operation to arrest a man from the Dominican Republic who allegedly was living in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The New York Police Department released surveillance footage of the incident, which showed two police officers responding to the scene where Belgal was sitting on the ground, with one person holding his neck to prevent further injury. An ICE officer, wearing a neon construction vest and holding an assault-style rifle, was making a phone call and did not engage with the NYPD officers. The police officers eventually transported Belgal to a nearby hospital, where he remained conscious.

The shooting has sparked outrage and fear among local residents, with some calling for ICE to release body camera footage of the incident and to end their operations in New York City. According to CBS News, protests took place in the city following the shooting. The NYPD confirmed that their officers were not involved in the incident and did not participate in the ICE operation.
