Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York congresswoman, is calling for a full and independent investigation into an incident where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot a suspected illegal immigrant gang member in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon. She also criticized Target for allowing its parking lots to be used by ICE as staging areas for operations, which she believes endangers community safety. Ocasio-Cortez views ICE as a "rogue" agency that should not exist and demands an immediate halt to all ICE activities within New York City.

Story summary
On Thursday around 4pm, an ICE agent shot a man during an arrest operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City. The victim was conscious and rushed to a nearby hospital where he received medical attention; his injuries are not life-threatening. Video footage showed several agents at the scene after the shooting, with one holding a gun and another restraining the injured man on the ground. Governor Kathy Hochul called for a transparent accounting of the circumstances from federal authorities, emphasizing that New Yorkers deserve to know what happened and why.
