ICE Shooting in NYC Inflames Mamdani’s Policing Problem
Mullin said sanctuary policies let the suspect remain free and said officers fired seven times as protests gathered outside the hospital.
- On Thursday, a federal agent shot and injured Oscar Belgal in the Marble Hill neighborhood of New York City during an attempted apprehension; Belgal's 5-year-old son was in the car during the incident.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement official Marcos Charles said Belgal refused to exit his vehicle, struck two ICE vehicles, and "weaponized" his car by driving toward officers, suffering a superficial neck wound.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin attacked New York's 'sanctuary' policies on Friday, arguing they restrict city cooperation with federal immigration authorities and allowed Belgal to remain on the streets.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounced the shooting as an "outrage" and said he attempted unsuccessfully to secure Belgal's release; protesters gathered outside NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital where Belgal was transported.
- Video of the Thursday incident has not been released, and Belgal, with a prior grand larceny conviction, remains in a detention facility outside New York state pending case resolution.
