ICE Officers Shoot Man During Arrest in New York City

WIRED says Brenden Cuni has faced repeated federal court accusations of unlawful arrests and force as ICE defends the shooting of Oscar Belgal.

  • On Thursday, ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal in Manhattan's Marble Hill neighborhood near the Bronx; New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said agents surrounded the car containing a 5-year-old child before firing as many as seven rounds.
  • A WIRED investigation identified the ICE agent as Brenden Cuni, a supervisor with the agency's National Fugitive Operations team who participated in Operation Metro Surge last winter.
  • Federal judges have repeatedly scrutinized Cuni's operations in recent months, with one judge calling an arrest warrant he signed "fraudulent" and another noting video evidence contradicted his sworn account of an arrest.
  • The Department of Homeland Security confirmed an officer "discharged his weapon and the criminal illegal alien was injured," describing Belgal as a criminal with ties to the Trinitarios gang.
  • In 2018, Cuni began his federal career as a Border Patrol agent in San Diego after playing baseball at Felician University in New Jersey.
