Trump Takes Swipes at NY Leaders After Bronx ICE Shooting <\/p>\nPresident Donald Trump took aim at this year\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize winner during a rally in Syracuse, New York, on Friday, calling the recipient a \u201cmystery person,\u201d saying he should have won instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday they gave out the Nobel Peace Prize to a person I never heard of. Nobody did. It’s a mystery person,\u201d Trump said, adding that the decision was \u201can indelible stain\u201d on the country of Norway, which hosts the Nobel committee.<\/p>\n
South African jurist Navanethem \u201cNavi\u201d Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised her commitment to justice and human dignity as \u201ca source of hope and inspiration to all who seek to bring about a more peaceful world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump again talked about how he has ended multiple wars and conflicts, saying he had \u201csettled eight wars\u201d and was about to \u201csettle or win two more,\u201d referring to Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
Trump rallied supporters at Syracuse\u2019s Oncenter in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who is seeking to unseat Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. Local reports described the venue as packed. Boxing legend Mike Tyson also joined Trump at the rally, while hundreds of protesters gathered outside.<\/p>\n
Trump Takes Swipes at NY Leaders After Bronx ICE Shooting <\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s visit comes a day after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-involved shooting in the Bronx\u2019s Marble Hill neighborhood sparked protests and prompted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Hochul to call for a halt to enforcement operations.<\/p>\n
Trump addressed the incident during his remarks Friday night, slamming New York\u2019s sanctuary policies\u2014saying they are designed to protect criminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust yesterday, our heroes of ICE apprehended a man with a criminal record a mile long who was wanted for possible murder, and murder in a gang,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe\u2019s a very dangerous man and they got him. But instead of being praised, ICE was scorned by New York politicians who set him loose, they want to set him loose.\u201d <\/p>\n
On Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin ruled out a halt to immigration enforcement. \u201cWe\u2019re not putting a pause on enforcement,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cI’m sorry, we’re not. In fact, I’m not sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oscar Belgal, 28, was shot Thursday afternoon during what authorities described as a \u201ctargeted enforcement operation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Department of Homeland Security told Newsweek that Belgal is a Dominican national who is in the U.S. illegally and has a prior conviction for grand larceny. The department also cited prior arrests in which he was accused of assault, robbery, drug possession and weapons possession, as well as alleged associations with the Trinitarios gang.<\/p>\n
A judge has since temporarily blocked his deportation<\/a> while the court reviews his legal challenge.<\/p>\n Hochul said she had spoken with the mother of the 5-year-old boy who was in the car at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n \u201cLast night, I spoke with the mother of the five-year-old boy who was in the backseat when ICE agents opened fire on his father\u2019s car,\u201d Hochul wrote on X. “Thank God she isn\u2019t planning a funeral for her little boy today.”<\/p>\n She said Trump confirmed that ICE would not return to the family, following their phone call Thursday.<\/p>\n Videos Show Protesters Escorted Out of New York Rally <\/p>\n Three protesters heckled Trump during his nearly 90-minute speech and were escorted out.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know they’re all paid protesters, right?\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n Moments later, another protester began shouting as the crowd chanted \u201cUSA\u201d and booed.<\/p>\n Trump said, \u201cHis mother just called him, \u2018Get out of there, son.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n As he has at several recent rallies, Trump urged the Syracuse crowd to \u201cpretend\u201d he\u2019s on the ballot.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease pretend I\u2019m on the fricking ballot,\u201d Trump told the crowd, urging supporters to rally behind Republicans ahead of the midterm elections, just 25 days away.<\/p>\n Blakeman is seeking to become New York\u2019s first Republican governor in 20 years. George Pataki, who left office in 2006, was the state\u2019s last GOP governor.<\/p>\n A Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll conducted on September 26 found that 42 percent of voters had not firmly settled on their midterm choice.<\/p>\n Grant Davis Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told Newsweek that the number of undecided voters could potentially benefit Republicans.<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially in those close Senate races that Republicans have won more easily in the past,\u201d he said. \u201cThose folks might \u2018come home\u2019 in the final week of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n Newsweek\u2019s reporters and editors used Martyn, our AI assistant, to produce this story.
