AOC calls for ‘full and independent investigation’ into Bronx ICE shooting — while blaming Target for aiding feds

Following a shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the Bronx, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for an independent investigation and the release of body camera footage. The incident occurred during an attempted arrest of 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, who was shot while his 5-year-old son was in the vehicle. While Belgal is hospitalized and expected to survive, Ocasio-Cortez further accused Target of allowing ICE to use its parking lots as 'staging sites,' a claim Target has officially denied. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin have clashed over the future of ICE operations in New York City.
