Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has revealed that the man shot by an ICE agent in New York City on Thursday has been taken out of the state, but he wouldn\u2019t say where.<\/p>\n

During a contentious news conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Mullin called the detainee, identified as Oscar Belgal, a \u201cthug,\u201d and said that because of the attention on the case, DHS has been forced to move him to a more secure facility \u201coutside of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe isn\u2019t in the state of New York,\u201d Mullin told reporters. \u201cWe wanted to make sure he was in a highly secured facility because of the threat he has and his history of evading police.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is he?\u201d a reporter asked.<\/p>\n

Mullin replied, \u201cThat I won\u2019t release.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belgal was shot in the neck<\/a> as ICE agents surrounded a car in the Marble Hill section of Manhattan. He was hospitalized and reportedly remained conscious. Belgal\u2019s 5-year-old son was also in the vehicle at the time of the shooting but was not believed to have been physically harmed.<\/p>\n

Mullin said the ICE agents were not aware a child was in the car.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani slammed ICE<\/a>, saying, \u201cThere is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five-year-old in the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no explanation. We are standing here so close to the site of where this actually took place. And look at how many people live right here. This is a residential neighborhood. We are right here by a subway. And the pretext of ICE is, in their words, \u2018to keep this country safe,\u2019 \u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is it keeping everyone safe to have, as you just heard from the police commissioner, individuals wearing construction vests in masks with long guns? Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. And when it comes to ICE, it begs the question, what\u2019s the difference? There is no explanation for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
