Timeline
DHS said agents were conducting a targeted operation, that Belgal refused orders to exit the vehicle, and that the agent did not know a child was in the back seat when he fired.
Belgal was moved from a New Jersey facility to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
A federal judge temporarily barred the deportation of Belgal and barred ICE from transferring him outside the New York or New Jersey federal districts without court approval. His attorneys are petitioning for release, arguing the arrest lacked a valid warrant.

The NYPD says it had no involvement in the federal operation before the shooting.
Authorities recovered seven shell casings at the scene. The vehicle had ballistic damage to the front windshield and a shattered rear window, according to the NYPD.

Mayor Mamdani says he has spoken with the White House and intends to ask the President to halt ICE enforcement operations in the city. Gov.

The agents were conducting an enforcement operation in the area and were looking for a man with a prior robbery arrest and an open drug case, according to law enforcement sources cited by NBC New York and ABC7. PIX11 reports the person shot may not have been the subject of that search.
Witnesses told ABC7 they heard about four shots, followed by officers and agents running toward the vehicle.

The man who was shot was sitting in a vehicle when federal agents fired, and his injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to the NYPD via CBS New York and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Video from the scene shows a silver SUV stopped mid-street with bullet holes in the windshield.

It’s not about ICE not doing its job, it’s about how they’re going about it! What is so hard to understand????
Wow, we can tell election time is really around the corner… anything to rally up public fears and emotions
He was arrested years ago and let go
Most of the time there is no need to go straight to lethal force. Use non-lethal force. Pepper spray, taser, batons, spike strips for cars.
