  "account": "On October 8, 2026, a federal immigration agent in New York City shot and injured a 28-year-old man named Oscar Belgal. In response, the New York Police Department released footage from one of their officers who responded to the incident. The footage, while not capturing the shooting, showed the aftermath of the event. Two NYPD officers arrived at the scene where the victim was lying on the ground, with an ICE officer, wearing a neon construction vest and an assault rifle, making a phone call without engaging with the NYPD officers. When one NYPD officer inquired if the victim should be taken to a hospital, the ICE officers did not respond. Eventually, multiple police officers moved the victim onto a police vehicle, which then transported him to the nearest hospital.\n\nFollowing the shooting, social media videos revealed that the back window of a silver SUV was shattered and the front window pierced by at least one bullet. A child was also removed from the scene by a plainclothes officer. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed that the ICE officer involved in the shooting had a body camera and that footage related to the incident would be released as the investigation proceeds.\n\nICE's policy requires officers to activate cameras during routine enforcement activities, such as making arrests, executing search warrants, and responding to emergencies. However, in cases of serious injury or death, a panel of ICE internal leaders decides whether to release the footage within 72 hours or as soon as operationally feasible. According to ICE's internal policies released in February 2025, this process should be efficient; however, it is not always guaranteed. The agency can withhold footage if there are specific and compelling circumstances justifying an objection to public release, which can only be resolved by redaction or other means.\n\nICE's decision to withhold footage would lie with the ICE director. The released footage will also have the faces and identifiable information of ICE officers redacted to protect their privacy. This year, ICE spent millions of dollars purchasing and equipping its officers with body-worn cameras following two deadly shootings in Maine and Houston over the summer. The ICE officers involved in those shootings did not wear body cameras during their operations.",
