U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents shot a person in New York City on Thursday afternoon, according to police.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place around 4 p.m. in Manhattan\u2019s Marble Hill neighborhood, according to a statement<\/a> from the New York Police Department. The NYPD said the victim was taken to a local hospital and was conscious, but provided no further information about the victim.<\/p>\n

Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., told The Intercept that there was a child in the car and the child is okay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds,\u201d New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cWe believe the child was physically unharmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

A neighbor, Iris Rosa, said the shooting happened just as a nearby school was being let out. After hiding in a store for a few minutes, she said she went to look at the scene and said it looked like agents had shot into a car.<\/p>\n

The victim, Rosa said, was on the ground bleeding and being held down by the agents. A baby, she said, was in the car and was held by ICE agents until someone picked the child up.<\/p>\n

Photos of the aftermath of the shooting, taken by a neighbor and obtained by The Intercept, show apparent government agents in plain clothes and tactical vests pinning a man on the asphalt. Another man in a high-visibility vest is clutching an assault rifle while holding a phone between his check and shoulder. <\/p>\n

Rosa, the neighbor, said a man with a high-visibility vest appeared to be posing as a construction worker, but as she watched, Rosa told The Intercept, the man took the vest and put it in a nearby vehicle.<\/p>\n

ICE agents routinely pose as construction workers<\/a> in order to stakeout targets for immigrations.<\/p>\n

Representatives of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, ICE, and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

The victim is the latest of at least 25 people <\/a>to be shot by federal immigration agents this year.<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she had been briefed on the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident,\u201d she said<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cICE\u2019s violent tactics are a clear danger to all New Yorkers, as today\u2019s shooting in a residential neighborhood demonstrates,\u201d said Murad Awawdeh, the head of the advocacy group the New York Immigration Coalition, in a statement. \u201cThis incident is another reminder of the unchecked, rampant violence ICE has been spreading throughout our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
