  "account": "On a Thursday in Manhattan, Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican national, was shot by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers while in his car with his 5-year-old son in the back seat. The bullet lodged in his neck remains, and he is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, his attorneys claim. Belgal's face is numb on the left side, and he struggles to hear anything from his left ear, saying the sound appears distant. His attorneys allege the officers did not identify themselves before the shooting, and he is being detained without a warrant. Federal prosecutors are seeking to deport Belgal, but a federal judge temporarily barred the Trump administration from doing so. Belgal's attorneys argue that the government has not provided evidence of his gang affiliations or criminal record.",
  "summary": "Nearly a week after he was shot by ICE agents during an arrest, a man is still suffering with the bullet still inside him, the victim's attorneys allege.",
