ICE agent shoots man in car with 5-year-old during Bronx enforcement operation

On October 8, 2026, an ICE agent shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national, in the neck during a targeted enforcement operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. Belgal was in a vehicle with a 5-year-old child at the time; the child was not physically injured. DHS stated Belgal had a prior grand larceny conviction and gang ties, while Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other officials condemned the shooting and demanded ICE cease operations in New York City.
