A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and wounded a man during a targeted enforcement operation in Marble Hill, Upper Manhattan, on Thursday afternoon, prompting calls for a transparent investigation, reports a Qazinform News Agency correspondent.
The shooting occurred at around 4 p.m. local time. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the man was in a vehicle with a five-year-old child when federal agents allegedly fired multiple rounds. The child was reportedly unharmed.
At a Thursday night news conference, Representative Adriano Espaillat called for justice for the family and criticized ICE operations. Local officials also demanded the release of available body-camera footage and an independent investigation.
