A shooting incident involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon has left one person injured, according to the New York Police Department (NYPD). The incident occurred around 4 p.m. in the Marble Hill neighborhood, with the injured individual transported to a local hospital conscious and receiving medical attention; their identity and the severity of their injuries remain undisclosed. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took to social media to denounce the shooting, alleging that ICE agents surrounded a vehicle containing a man and a child before shots were fired, though federal authorities have not confirmed these details. Mamdani stated he contacted President Trump and demanded an end to all ICE enforcement actions in the city, also calling for the abolition of ICE and for federal immigration agents to leave city neighborhoods, hospitals, and streets. The NYPD clarified that their officers were not involved in the shooting and were not present at the scene. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly investigating the incident, with New York Governor Kathy Hochul calling for a full and transparent accounting from federal authorities. The circumstances leading to the shooting, including who fired the weapon and the status of the injured person in relation to any federal operation, are currently unclear.
