The full story

Demonstrators gathered in New York City following an incident where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a 28-year-old man in his vehicle during a targeted operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. A five-year-old child was reportedly inside the car at the time and remained unharmed. Crowds of protesters subsequently rallied outside New-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where the injured man was being treated, chanting slogans and calling for ICE to be removed from the city's streets. Elected officials including Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the shooting and demanded an end to ICE operations, while the Department of Homeland Security defended the enforcement action, citing the man's alleged criminal background and gang associations. Police deployed barricades and managed the crowds, resulting in several arrests.
