Story summary
On Thursday, in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, ICE agents shot a man who was reportedly sitting in his vehicle with a 5-year-old child. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. local time when ICE officers were conducting an enforcement operation. The wounded individual was taken to a nearby hospital and is conscious but not in critical condition.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called President Trump to demand an end to ICE actions in the city following this incident.
The shooting sparked immediate local and national outrage, highlighting tensions surrounding immigration policies and law enforcement practices within immigrant communities.
