Anti-ICE Protesters Clash With NYPD Outside NYC Hospital After Federal Agent Shoots Migrant
DHS said the man had prior arrests and gang ties as officers fired at least five shots during the arrest attempt.
- On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal during an arrest attempt in Upper Manhattan's Marble Hill neighborhood, wounding him in the neck while a five-year-old child remained unharmed in the vehicle.
- Department of Homeland Security officials stated the operation targeted Belgal, whom they claim is a Trinitarios street gang member, as agents attempted to box in his vehicle during the enforcement action.
- While officials allege Belgal attempted to "ram his vehicle" into agents, prompting the discharge of at least five shots, the five-year-old passenger was unharmed and has been returned to relatives.
- Roughly 300 protesters gathered outside NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital on Thursday night, clashing briefly with the New York Police Department as Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani demanded an end to all city ICE operations.
- DHS defended the operation, citing past sanctuary policies that released Belgal while referencing the fatal January shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis to illustrate enforcement risks officers face.
