A federal immigration officer shot a Dominican man in the neck as he drove in a car with a 5-year-old boy Thursday afternoon, officials said.<\/p>\n
An irate New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the shooting an outrage,<\/a> and spent two hours Thursday night pressing President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to release the wounded man, and urging them to stop immigration enforcement operations in the city.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Trump<\/a> said Thursday that he will not order a resumption of military strikes on Iran<\/a> before the Nov. 3 midterm elections<\/a> in the United States. Trump, while stumping for Republicans this week, has hinted that he was confident an endgame to the war could come in the days before or after the election, while also hinting that he remained open to resuming full-scale military operations against Iran.<\/p>\n Here’s the latest:<\/p>\n Mullin shares new details, including that ICE wasn\u2019t aware a child was in the car<\/p>\n Mullin said ICE agents weren\u2019t aware the child was in the car at the time. But he said Belgal \u201cwas aware\u201d and chose to evade officers.<\/p>\n He didn\u2019t answer a question about how officers wouldn\u2019t know that, saying only that it\u2019s an investigation.<\/p>\n Mullin also revealed that the officers involved in the incident were wearing body cameras \u201cand they were on.\u201d<\/p>\n DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin uses news conference to rail against Mamdani<\/p>\n Mullin spent much of the news conference criticizing New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for resisting and denouncing ICE. An irate Mamdani on Thursday night called ICE \u201crotten to its core\u201d and said he saw no justification for the shooting.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, mayor, if you abolish ICE, who\u2019s going to take criminals off the streets of your own town?\u201d Mullin said Friday. \u201cThe mayor speaks with political tone. His words are dangerous and incite hostility. It doesn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n Dominican man shot by ICE \u2018decided not to comply with lawful orders,\u2019 DHS official says<\/p>\n Marcos Charles, who heads Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s enforcement removal and operations division, said ICE officials attempted to arrest the Dominican man, whom officials have identified as Oscar Belgal, and attempted to use their vehicles to block him in.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters, Charles said Belgal \u201crefused to exit his vehicle\u201d and accelerated, smashing into two government vehicles and moving toward officers, which prompted officers to fire weapons.<\/p>\n DHS secretary accuses New York of endangering public safety with \u2018sanctuary\u2019 policies<\/p>\n Facing backlash after a federal immigration officer shot a Dominican man in the neck as he drove in a car with a 5-year-old boy in New York on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin doubled down on the Trump administration\u2019s criticism of so-called sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no clear definition of sanctuary jurisdictions, but the term is generally applied to state and local governments that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.<\/p>\n Sanctuary politicians and cities \u201ccreate an environment for criminal activity to thrive, not for the American citizens to be safe,\u201d Mullin said in a news conference Friday.<\/p>\n Public executions in the US were once a community spectacle and then they stopped<\/p>\n For about nine decades, executions in the U.S. have been private affairs, often shrouded in secrecy. The stunning Pentagon announcement Thursday that the first military execution<\/a> in more than 65 years will be livestreamed<\/a> could change that.<\/p>\n Allowing the world to watch Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan<\/a> face the firing squad in December would make it the first public execution since two hangings in the 1930s in Kentucky and Missouri drew crowds.<\/p>\n In 1936, a man who reportedly confessed to the rape and murder of a woman was hanged in front of thousands in Owensboro, Kentucky, while the following year, hundreds watched a man in Missouri be hanged.<\/p>\n \u25b6 Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Trump says US will not resume military strikes on Iran before the Nov. 3 midterm elections<\/p>\n Trump<\/a> said Thursday that he will not order a resumption of military strikes on Iran before the Nov. 3 midterm elections<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n Trump, while stumping for Republicans this week, has hinted that he was confident that an endgame to the war could come in the days before or after the election, while also hinting that he remained open to resuming full-scale military operations against Iran.<\/p>\n For weeks, Trump has been threatening that a post-midterm election escalation in the seven-month-old war remains a viable option, despite his initial promises to Americans of a military campaign that would last a matter of weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n But Trump in a social media post on Thursday said the U.S. \u201cwill not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump added that his team has been \u201chaving productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n \u25b6 Read more<\/a><\/p>\n ICE officer shoots a man while making an arrest in New York, officials say<\/p>\n A federal immigration officer shot a Dominican man in the neck as he drove in a car with a 5-year-old boy Thursday afternoon, officials said. The Department of Homeland Security<\/a> said it was seeking to arrest the man in a \u201ctargeted enforcement operation,\u201d but protesters and local officials decried it as an example of the dangers of the Trump administration\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n DHS said in a statement that it was seeking to arrest a \u201ccriminal illegal alien\u201d with a grand larceny conviction and a history of other arrests. But an irate New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the shooting an outrage.<\/p>\n The mayor said he had spent two hours Thursday night pressing President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to release the wounded man, to no avail, and urging them to stop immigration enforcement operations in the city. He said that late Thursday night, federal authorities removed the man from the hospital and took him away.<\/p>\n New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, also a Democrat, said in a statement that she had delivered a similar message to Trump and Mullin by phone.<\/p>\n
