Escalation: Homeland Security Defends ICE Operations
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will not suspend enforcement in New York after the shooting of Oscar Belgal. He defended the agents as acting because they believed they were in danger and blamed New York’s sanctuary policies for the confrontation.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul asked for an immediate halt to ICE operations in the state. Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for federal immigration agents to leave the city.
The shooting happened in the Marble Hill neighborhood. Police camera video shows plainclothes agents approaching Belgal’s car with guns drawn. One agent fired seven rounds, and a child was in the vehicle.
