Law enforcement officers investigate after ICE agents shot and wounded a man on Marble Hill Avenue, near W. 225th Street, in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
Key Facts<\/p>\n
The shooting took place in the Bronx neighborhood of Marble Hill at around 4 p.m. ET, and the injured man was taken to a nearby hospital and remained conscious, the New York Police Department<\/a> said.<\/p>\n New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the shooting<\/a> “unconscionable” and said he had reports that ICE agents surrounded the man and “a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds.”<\/p>\n Mamdani said the child is physically unharmed and noted that he will speak with Trump and demand that he “ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city.”<\/p>\n New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/a> also expressed anger over the incident and said that with a five-year-old child inside the car, the incident could have “ended in tragedy.”<\/p>\n Hochul also said<\/a> she spoke with Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to express “outrage on behalf of New Yorkers” and urge them to halt all ICE enforcement operations in New York.<\/p>\n What Has DHS Said About The Shooting?<\/p>\n In a lengthy statement issued on X<\/a>, the Department of Homeland Security claimed ICE officers were conducting a “targeted enforcement operation” in the Bronx to arrest an immigrant from the Dominican Republic with a prior criminal conviction and multiple arrests. The statement claimed the Dominican man had associations with the “Trinitarios gang.” The statement said the man was injured after an “ICE officer discharged his weapon,” after which he was “immediately rendered aid.” The statement made no mention of a five-year-old child in the man’s car, but said the incident is being investigated and both the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations are at the scene.<\/p>\n Key Background<\/p>\n This is the latest shooting involving federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation. Last month, an ICE officer shot and injured<\/a> a food delivery driver in Austin. The incident prompted the city’s Democratic Mayor, Kirk Watson, to push for the Austin Police Department to oversee the investigation, as he questioned ICE’s “credibility” to conduct it. In July, a man was <\/a>shot and killed<\/a> in Houston by federal immigration agents during a traffic stop, despite not being the intended target of the enforcement operation. 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving a van with three passengers, including his brother, when immigration agents stopped their vehicle. The intended targets of the ICE operation were two people from Guatemala, who were not in the van. Later that month, ICE agents <\/a>fatally shot<\/a> another man, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, in Biddeford, Maine. Earlier this year, the killings of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by immigration and border patrol officers triggered massive nationwide protests.<\/p>\n big number<\/p>\n 49,571. That is the total number of arrests ICE made in July, according to the Deportation Data Project<\/a>, which tracks government-shared data. July’s data is the latest availabled on the tracker and marked an uptick from the 43,021 arrests made a month earlier. The number of monthly arrests had dropped below 30,000 in February amid nationwide protests against Good and Pretti’s killings but they have picked up sharply since then.<\/p>\n further reading<\/p>\n ICE Officer Shoots And Injures Food Delivery Driver In Austin<\/a> (Forbes)<\/p>\n
