Police bodycam footage released on Friday shows the immediate aftermath following an ICE-involved shooting in the Bronx on Thursday evening.
Protests erupted in the Bronx on Thursday evening after an ICE agent shot and wounded an illegal alien from the Dominican Republic in Marble Hill.
Video posted to social media shows anti-ICE activists blocking federal vehicles and confronting ICE agents after the officer-involved shooting.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed an ICE agent shot a criminal alien gang member in the Bronx on Thursday.
The wounded alien was transported to a local hospital.
“ICE officers immediately rendered aid. The individual is alive and at a local hospital. The FBI and HSI are on the scene. The incident remains under investigation. More information will be shared as it becomes available,” the DHS said in a statement.
Communist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani fanned the flames after the ICE-involved shooting and called for ICE to be abolished.
“This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed,” Mamdani said.
“Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children,” Mamdani said.
“Abolish ICE,” he said.
NYPD bodycam footage shows officers responding to the scene and rendering aid to the wounded illegal alien.
A crowd of anti-ICE protesters began forming as police took the criminal alien, identified as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, into custody.
