Quick Summary

A federal judge has temporarily halted the deportation of Oscar Bergal, a 28-year-old Dominican national who was shot during an ICE arrest attempt in New York City. Judge Paul Oetken ruled that Bergal cannot be removed from the country until his legal challenge is resolved and restricted any transfer to facilities outside specified districts without court approval. The shooting occurred when Bergal refused to comply with officers’ orders and attempted to drive away, leading to a confrontation where ICE fired seven shots, one of which hit him below the left ear. A 5-year-old boy in the vehicle was unharmed, though ICE agents were unaware of his presence at the time.

The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. when ICE officers approached Belgal’s SUV and drew their weapons; Belgal then attempted to drive away, leading to the confrontation and subsequent shooting. Belgal remains hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his neck and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
