A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has shot a man in his car in the Bronx in New York City while the man's five-year-old son sat in the backseat. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which runs ICE, confirmed an officer discharged his weapon while attempting to arrest a "criminal illegal alien" on Thursday. The man, later identified as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, was alive and at a local hospital, officials said. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the ICE officer fired "multiple rounds" into the car with a child inside, calling it an "unconscionable and incredibly serious situation".
