Summary

Oscar Bergal (also spelled Belgal), 28, was shot once in the neck by an ICE agent who fired at his car Thursday in Marble Hill during what DHS called a "targeted enforcement operation." Mayor Zohran Mamdani said a child was in the car at the time. Bergal survived and is being held at a detention facility outside New York. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said ICE will not pause enforcement in the city, and Mamdani said negotiations with the Trump administration to free the man had failed.
