An ICE officer shot a man in the neck on Thursday in the Marble Hill area of Manhattan. The man, Oscar Belgal, was driving a car with a five-year-old boy in the back seat. ICE officials said Belgal drove his car into two of their vehicles after they told him to get out. An officer then fired at him. The child was not hurt. Belgal received a minor wound and is now held in a detention centre. Federal officials said they did not know a child was in the car. Belgal's lawyer disagreed with the government's description of his client as a dangerous criminal. ICE agents wore construction vests and masks, which made it hard for local people to identify them.
