ICE Agent Shoots Man in Bronx Car With Five-Year-Old Aboard

The incident has prompted a federal investigation and sharp demands from New York leaders for a full, transparent account and a halt to ICE enforcement in the city.

Overview

  • Federal agents shot and injured a man during an operation in Marble Hill on Thursday after surrounding his car, and the five-year-old inside was reported uninjured.
  • The NYPD said it was not involved or present at the scene while federal authorities confirmed ICE agents took part and opened an investigation into the use of force.
  • The Department of Homeland Security said the wounded man is alive, hospitalized and described him as a foreign national with prior convictions; the agency did not explain why shots were fired.
  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the shooting, said he contacted President Trump and urged a stop to ICE actions in New York, and Governor Kathy Hochul called for a full and transparent account.
  • The shooting sparked street protests and renewed scrutiny of expanded ICE operations this year, raising questions about accountability, tactics and how federal enforcement will clash with sanctuary-city policies.
