Summary
A man was shot and wounded around 4 p.m. in Marble Hill during an ICE enforcement operation and was hospitalized conscious, according to New York police.
DHS said the officer fired while trying to arrest a Dominican Republic national it described as a criminal target with a grand larceny conviction and multiple prior arrests, but it did not explain why the weapon was used.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat said a young child was with the man when officers opened fire, while Gov. Kathy Hochul called ICE a "rogue agency" and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would press President Donald Trump to halt city operations.
The shooting adds to at least 4 incidents since July involving federal immigration agents, after 2 immigrants were killed and another injured in earlier encounters that drew excessive-force criticism.
