MANHATTAN, NY (PIX11) – On Thursday, Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal brought together the Manhattan Borough Board, which includes the chairs of all 12 Manhattan Community Boards, to speak out against the ICE shooting of Oscar Belgal in Marble Hill.
The resolution calls for an end to ICE operations in NYC, an independent investigation into the shooting, the release of all video footage and the identification of the officers involved. It also demands Belgal’s release from ICE custody so he can receive immediate medical care.

“Today, Manhattan stood united to unanimously declare that ICE has no place in our neighborhoods, to condemn ICE’s heinous shooting of an immigrant New Yorker, and to demand that ICE immediately release Oscar Belgal,” said borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal.
On Oct. 8, the NYPD released body-worn camera footage showing the aftermath of the shooting.
The video shows a man wearing a reflective vest and carrying a long gun standing near Belgal, who is seated on the ground with his hands restrained.
Belgal was shot while his 5-year-old son was in the back seat of the car, according to city officials. The shooting sparked protests, including a rally in Lower Manhattan, where demonstrators called for an end to ICE operations in New York City.
