New York City

An ICE officer fired seven rounds and shot Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national, in the neck during an arrest attempt in New York City's Marble Hill neighborhood on October 9, 2026, while Belgal's five-year-old child was in the car. The child was unharmed. A federal judge blocked Belgal's deportation as lawyers sought his release for surgery, saying a bullet remains lodged in his neck. Officials said officers believed they were in danger and did not know a child was present. Mayor Zohran Mamdani demanded a halt to ICE operations; the Trump administration rejected the request. Protests erupted, with four arrests reported.
