Quick Summary

Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a press conference near Marble Hill in the Bronx after Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old man from the Dominican Republic whom ICE claims has ties to the Trinitarios gang, was shot by federal agents while being arrested. Mamdani said he attempted to negotiate with President Trump and Secretary Mullin for Belgal’s release but was unsuccessful. The mayor called ICE “rotten to its core” and demanded that the agency cease enforcement actions in New York City. Seven rounds were fired during the incident, according to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who stated that the NYPD had no involvement prior to the shooting. Belgal was initially hospitalized before being taken away by ICE agents from the hospital.
