Immigration agent shoots man during arrest in New York City

An ICE officer shot a man in the Marble Hill area of Manhattan on Thursday afternoon. The shooting happened on West 225th Street while officers were trying to arrest someone. Oscar Belgard, 28, was hit in the left ear and taken to hospital in stable condition. Officers fired seven rounds during the incident. Belgard may have been interfering with the arrest of another man, Gaspar Avendano-Hernandez, who was ICE's target. Two ICE officers were attacked and also taken to hospital. Belgard had a robbery conviction from 2023 and a drug charge from 2025. The incident happened in a busy neighbourhood where people were coming home from work and school. Federal authorities are now leading the investigation. Local leaders have criticised ICE's methods, and protests have followed.
