ICE agent shoots man during arrest operation in the Bronx

On Thursday afternoon, around 16:00, an agent from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot a man in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, New York. The incident occurred as federal agents attempted to apprehend a resident of the city, identified by the Department of Homeland Security as a convicted undocumented immigrant from the Dominican Republic. According to reports, the man was inside a vehicle with a five-year-old child when agents surrounded them and opened fire, wounding the man in the neck. Officials state the child was not injured in the encounter.

Following the shooting, the injured man was transported to the New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital. Roughly 300 protesters gathered outside the facility late Thursday to demonstrate against federal immigration operations, leading to confrontations with the NYPD. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the incident, calling the situation unacceptable, and announced he has contacted President Donald Trump to formally demand an end to ICE enforcement operations within the city. Authorities have confirmed the injured man remains alive and is receiving medical care as local tensions over the incident continue to rise.
