Feds believe ICE shooting gangbanger Oscar Belgal belonged to blood-thirsty Trinitarios gang

On Thursday afternoon in the Marble Hill section of New York City, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal (also identified as Bergal) in the neck during an attempted arrest. Belgal, a Dominican Republic native whom federal authorities state is in the U.S. illegally, was in a vehicle with his 5-year-old son at the time of the shooting. The child was not physically harmed. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials state the shooting occurred after Belgal rammed government vehicles and drove toward agents. Conversely, some witnesses and local officials claim the vehicle was driving away or being parked. Belgal has a history of prior arrests and a conviction for grand larceny, and federal officials allege he is affiliated with the Trinitarios gang. The incident sparked protests and calls from New York officials for investigations and the cessation of ICE activities in the city.
