Story summary

On October 8, 2026, Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican national with criminal history, was shot by ICE agents in New York City's Marble Hill neighborhood while his five-year-old son was present. 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. His attorneys claim he has been denied necessary medical care, including surgery for the embedded bullet. The incident sparked outrage among New Yorkers and calls from Mayor Zohran Mamdani to reassess ICE's presence in the city.
