Darializa Avila-Chevalier, a Democratic Socialist congressional candidate in New York City, defended Oscar Belgal, an illegal immigrant with a violent criminal record who was shot by ICE agents while trying to flee with his child. Despite Belgal’s history as a reputed Trinitarios gang member and his involvement in multiple crimes including armed robbery and drug trafficking, Avila-Chevalier claimed that his actions were justified because he was protecting his son. She criticized the NYPD for villainizing Belgal and called for ICE to be abolished. The incident sparked protests and debates over federal immigration enforcement in New York City.

Story summary
On Thursday around 4 p.m., ICE agents shot a person during an enforcement operation in Marble Hill, Bronx, New York City, leading to hospitalization of the victim who is conscious and receiving medical attention. The NYPD confirmed that federal law enforcement was involved but not local police. Videos from the scene showed ICE agents on the street after shots were fired; one vehicle had bullet damage. Multiple sources indicated that ICE was attempting an arrest when another individual in a car was shot, with a child present but unharmed. New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for transparency about the incident's circumstances, stressing the need to know why and how it happened.
