ICE didn’t know 5-year-old boy was in car when officer fired, Mullin says

A 28-year-old man, Oscar Belgal, was shot in the neck by an ICE agent during an enforcement operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of New York City. The incident occurred while Belgal's 5-year-old son was in the back seat of the vehicle; the child was not physically harmed. DHS officials state the shooting occurred after Belgal refused to comply with orders and used his vehicle to strike government cars and endanger officers. Local officials and advocates have condemned the shooting, highlighting the presence of the child and criticizing the tactics used by federal agents. Following the incident, disputes arose between DHS and NYC city leadership regarding custody, and Belgal has since been moved to a detention facility outside the state.
