An alleged criminal illegal alien was shot and injured by ICE agents on Thursday afternoon in the Bronx, New York.
Reportedly, federal agents tried to arrest the man, who is originally from the Dominican Republic and has gang ties, but things went haywire and an ICE agent was forced to open fire.
The illegal immigrant was shot in the neck, but he was transported to a hospital and is expected to survive.
The New York Post reported:
ICE agents shot and wounded a suspected migrant gang member in the Bronx Thursday while a 5-year-old boy sat in the back of his SUV, drawing a crowd of bystanders who peppered the armed agents with insults.
The shooting happened outside 2 Marble Hill Ave. around 4:20 p.m. when the feds tried to arrest a 28-year-old “criminal illegal alien” from the Dominican Republic, and things quickly went off script, according to the Department of Homeland Security and sources.
“They shot this n—– out the car, bro,” one bystander is heard yelling on a video posted online. “This n—- over here got a AR. Look at this. That’s ICE. This is ICE, bro.”
He was seen sitting handcuffed on the pavement while as many as a dozen agents swarm the scene and keep bystanders back.
The young boy, who has not been identified, was not injured.
Read Homeland Security’s official statement detailing the incident:

On October 8, at approximately 4:00 PM ET, ICE officers were conducting a targeted enforcement operation in the Bronx, New York, to arrest a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny, and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession. He has associations to the Trinitarios gang, the same gang who brutally shot a CBP officer last year.
This criminal illegal alien was arrested by the NYPD on December 7, 2023, but was released into the community a few days later by reckless Democrat sanctuary policies that put American lives at risk.
During the incident, an ICE officer discharged his weapon and the criminal illegal alien was injured.
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.
When dangerous illegal aliens are released back onto the streets by radical sanctuary politicians, our officers are forced to make arrests at large in the community in unpredictable and dangerous environments. Our officers should not have to risk their lives, and innocent Americans should not have to face unnecessary danger, because sanctuary politicians refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
The NYPD also released a statement:
At around 4pm today, there was a shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. The NYPD was not involved in the incident and was not on scene at the time of the shooting. The individual who was shot is at a nearby hospital and is…

At this time, we don’t know exactly what prompted the ICE agent to open fire against the suspect.
We’ll bring you further developments on the situation as they come.
As you might expect, leftists have seized the opportunity to start protesting and rioting in the streets of NYC.

Meanwhile, Mayor Mamdani is using the incident to continue fueling hatred against ICE agents.
In a post on X, he went as far as calling for the agency 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.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.
Your thoughts?
