NYC Anti-ICE Protests Continue After Shooting of Migrant Labeled ‘Criminal Illegal’
Hundreds rallied after ICE officers shot a Dominican man during a Bronx immigration operation, intensifying clashes over federal enforcement and city resistance.
- On Thursday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and wounded 28-year-old Oscar Bergal in the Bronx while a five-year-old child sat in his vehicle unharmed.
- Senior ICE official Marcos Charles said Bergal "refused lawful orders to exit his vehicle" and "weaponized" the car by accelerating toward officers, prompting agents to fire.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounced the shooting as an "outrage" and wrote "Abolish ICE," drawing sharp criticism from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who called the Mayor's words "dangerous and incite hostility."
- Hundreds of protesters gathered in Manhattan on October 9, chanting "No ICE," as data from the Trace Gun Violence Data Hub shows at least 30 people shot by immigration agents since March 2025.
- The incident heightens tensions between the Trump administration and sanctuary cities; Mullin noted ICE issued more than 14,000 detainers in New York state since January 2025, emphasizing enforcement of federal law.
