USA, man injured by bullet during Ice operation in New York

The man was transported to hospital and his life is not in danger. The shots, according to what was reported by the Department of Homeland Security, were fired by an agent who was on site, in the Bronx, for an ICE operation. After the incident which occurred around 4pm local time, residents of the area staged a demonstration against the officers. The governor of New York asks for clarification on the dynamics and Mayor Mamdani calls Trump: "Get Ice out of the city"

Still tensions between civilians and Ice in the USA. A man was hospitalized after being shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, the US federal police force responsible for border and immigration control. The clashes occurred late in the Italian evening, 4pm local time, in the Bronx in New York, in the Marble Hill neighborhood. The victim, according to what was reported by the Department of Homeland Security, was not in danger of dying: after the shooting he was taken to hospital and entrusted to the care of medical personnel.

Security Department: "ICE carried out a targeted operation"

The moments of the shooting, which occurred near the intersection of West 225th Street and Marble Hill Avenue, were captured by some videos shot by people on the spot and broadcast by the American broadcaster CBS News. The images show the presence of numerous law enforcement officers who, according to the Department of Internal Security on which Ice depends, were conducting a targeted operation in the area to arrest a person originally from the Dominican Republic and present illegally in the country. The Department reported that, during the intervention, an Ice agent fired, wounding the victim. After what happened, the population of the neighborhood started a demonstration against the Ice agents. There were some tensions but no other people were injured.

New York governor asks for clarification

New York Governor Kathy Hochul posted a message on X, saying she expects "federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident." Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition, instead called for an immediate investigation into the shooting and also for the release of footage from the cameras worn by the officers who, if they used excessive force, must answer "for their actions". “This incident - Awawdeh recalled - is yet another reminder of the unbridled and rampant violence that ICE is spreading in our communities."

Mamdani: “Trump must put an end to Ice operations in New York”

After the man was injured and hospitalized, New York mayor Zohran Mamdani also raised his voice again to ask Trump to put an end to ICE operations in the American city. "I called the president; when we speak, I will ask him to put an end to all ICE operations in our city", wrote the mayor of the Big Apple on social networks, where he defined the incident as "inconceivable and extremely serious". The mayor stressed that, according to initial reports, officers surrounded the man and a five-year-old boy who were in a car before firing several shots, adding that the child was unharmed. “I will not stand by and watch as ICE agents terrorize our communities,” Mamdani said.
