Man shot by ICE in New York City

An Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and wounded man in New York City Thursday evening, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) confirmed.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) first reported that a shooting “involving federal law enforcement agents” occurred at approximately 4 p.m. in the Bronx’s Marble Hill neighborhood, clarifying that city police were not involved in the incident. Officials confirmed to The Hill’s broadcasting partner NewsNation at around 6 p.m. that ICE agents were involved.

The officials told NewsNation that the victim was an illegal immigrant with a criminal record.

It is unknown how many officers were involved in the shooting at this time, according to federal law enforcement. The man was transported to a nearby hospital, the NYPD stated.

Mamdani posted to social platform X to denounce ICE’s actions in the city, with the mayor calling it “an incredibly serious situation.” He added that has already called President Trump about the incident.

“I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city,” he wrote. “I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.”

The mayor said early reports indicated ICE agents fired multiple rounds at the victim’s car while he and his 5-year-old child were inside. The child was reportedly unharmed.

New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin echoed Mamdani’s stance on ICE’s alleged actions, saying she is “deeply troubled” by the reports.

“Federal authorities must provide us with a fully transparent account of what took place without delay,” Menin wrote. “I recognize the immense fear that ICE’s actions have caused immigrant New Yorkers, and I’m deeply worried about the additional anxiety and uncertainty this incident may bring to communities across our city as we await answers.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has been briefed on the shooting, and expects “a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident,” she wrote on X.

The Bronx ICE-involved shooting comes less than a month after ICE agents similarly shot a Venezuelan national in Austin while he was delivering food. The man, 28, has since been charged with assault.

Despite some Democrats’ calls for the agency’s abolition, White House border czar Tom Homan has emphasized in recent weeks that ICE is “not going anywhere.”
