Mayor Mamdani calls on Trump to end ICE enforcement in NYC after shooting
- On Thursday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal in Manhattan's Marble Hill neighborhood during a targeted enforcement operation while Belgal's 5-year-old son was inside the vehicle.
- Department of Homeland Security officials claimed Belgal "rammed" their vehicles during the targeted operation, alleging he has ties to the Trinitarios gang and a history of criminal arrests dating to December 2023.
- Witnesses described the scene as "evil and inhumane," while around 300 protesters gathered at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital where Belgal was transported in stable condition before federal agents drove him away around 11 p.m.
- Four protesters were arrested outside the hospital on charges of obstructing governmental administration, while Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani demanded "full transparency" and urged federal authorities to halt ICE operations in New York.
- Calls to abolish the agency intensified among Democratic candidates and local leaders, with Public Advocate Jumaane Williams calling the shooting "inexplicable" as the incident fuels debates over federal immigration enforcement tactics and sanctuary policies.
