A federal judge in Manhattan has barred the deportation of Oscar Bergal, a 28-year-old Dominican man who was shot by an ICE officer on October 8, 2026. Judge J. Paul Oetken's order states that Bergal "shall not be removed from the United States absent further order of this Court," and prevents ICE from moving him beyond the court districts covering New York City, Long Island, the lower Hudson Valley, and New Jersey.
Bergal remains in federal custody in Brooklyn, and his lawyers argue that he was arrested without a valid warrant. The case tests the extent to which federal courts can check ICE arrests in American cities.
