  "account": "On Thursday 8 October 2026, in the Marble Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, an ICE agent shot Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican man, seven times during an immigration arrest. His 5-year-old child was in the backseat and was not physically harmed. Belgal is currently in stable condition at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, while the child remained unharmed. The incident occurred around 4 p.m., and protests followed outside the hospital. DHS and New York officials provide conflicting accounts of the events. DHS claims the officer fired after a targeted enforcement operation, while the NYPD Commissioner describes the officer approaching Belgal's car with a weapon drawn and the driver moving forward, prompting the shooting. Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that the child was in the car at the time. DHS cited prior arrests and a grand larceny conviction as reasons for the operation, but these details have not been independently verified. The mayor demanded full transparency, requesting body camera footage and a halt to ICE operations in New York. No video has been released, and a federal judge has scheduled a hearing on Belgal's case.",
