Mamdani says "this city wants ICE out" after agent shoots man with 5-year-old in car

Following a shooting in the Marble Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City lawmakers and demonstrators have voiced strong condemnation of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An ICE agent shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal during an attempted arrest on Thursday; Belgal's five-year-old son was in the vehicle at the time. Federal authorities state Belgal, an undocumented individual with a criminal record, attempted to flee and drove toward officers. Local officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul, have called for a cessation of ICE enforcement in the city, while federal officials defended the agency's actions and criticized New York's sanctuary policies.
