Hochul demands explanation"},"content":{"rendered":"

A man has been shot, apparently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> agents during an operation in New York City<\/a>, prompting Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/a> to demand an explanation.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred at around 4 p.m. ET on Thursday in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, the New York City Police Department wrote <\/a>on X.<\/p>\n

The NYPD said the shooting involved “federal law enforcement agents,” but didn’t specify which agency the officers were working under.<\/p>\n

A city official told local outlet WABC <\/a>that multiple shots were fired during what was believed to be an ICE operation. The official said the man was in a car when he was shot and a boy, believed to be 5 years old, was in the back seat unharmed.<\/p>\n

“The NYPD was not involved in the incident and was not on scene at the time of the shooting,” the department said. “The individual who was shot is at a nearby hospital and is currently conscious and receiving medical attention.”<\/p>\n

One woman who witnessed the shooting said she initially thought the four shots she heard were a car backfiring.<\/p>\n

She then thought, “‘No, that’s definitely gunshots.’ So I ran to my window and all of a sudden I saw cops running \u2013 not walking \u2014 down the street, and followed shortly thereafter by more cops, and then more cops and ICE agents.<\/p>\n

“Everybody was running. A lot of the ICE agents were, of course, masked,” the woman told WABC. “I think it’s horrifying.”<\/p>\n

“It was really quick,” another witness told the outlet. “It was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.” He said that others told him ICE was responsible for the shooting.<\/p>\n

The Independent has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for comment.<\/p>\n

Hochul has demanded federal authorities explain what happened.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been briefed on this afternoon’s shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in the Bronx,” Hochul wrote <\/a>on X. “We expect federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident.<\/p>\n

“New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what happened and why.”<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s massive deportation campaign has been criticized as too aggressive, with multiple shootings involving federal immigration agents making headlines.<\/p>\n

In July, the Trump administration received fierce pushback after ICE agents fatally shot a 52-year-old Mexican man, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo<\/a>, in Houston and a 25-year-old Colombian native, Joan Sebastian Guerrero<\/a>, in Maine at traffic stops less than a week apart.<\/p>\n

DHS said an ICE officer fired his weapon at Guerrero because he feared for “public safety,” and Salgado Araujo was shot in “self-defense.”<\/p>\n

About half of Americans, 49 percent, believe Trump’s mass deportations targeting illegal immigrants have been too aggressive, according to a Poliitco\/Public First<\/a> poll released in August.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 30 percent of respondents said his immigration crackdown has been about right, 11 percent said it hasn’t been aggressive enough, and 10 percent were unsure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been shot, apparently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an operation in New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":["post-368400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
