ICE shooting of driver with child inside inflames New York–federal clash

ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal, 28, in his car with a five-year-old aboard, drawing sharply divergent accounts from New York's mayor and federal officials.

• ICE agents shot and wounded Oscar Belgal, 28, in Manhattan's Marble Hill enclave while his five-year-old sat in the vehicle; the child was unharmed.
• Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the plainclothes agents resembled "mass shooters," asserted there is no active warrant for Belgal, and called for ICE to leave New York.
• DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said agents acted appropriately, called Belgal the "worst of the worst," and blamed sanctuary policies for the encounter.
• Belgal's lawyers filed a habeas petition arguing his arrest lacked a valid warrant; US District Judge J. Paul Oetken ordered him to remain in the country.
