An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has shot a man in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said, calling the incident an \u201cunconscionable and incredibly serious situation\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement he published on X, Mamdani said early reports on Thursday indicated agents surrounded the man and a five-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds.<\/p>\n

The child was believed to be physically unharmed, he added.<\/p>\n

Mamdani said he had called President Donald Trump and would demand that he end all ICE enforcement actions in the city. \u201cI will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said ICE officers were conducting a \u201ctargeted enforcement operation\u201d in the Bronx at about 4pm to arrest a man it described as a Dominican national with a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n

It said an officer \u201cdischarged his weapon\u201d and the man was injured.<\/p>\n

DHS said the incident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by the New York Police Department, the man remains conscious and is receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n

ICE under scrutiny<\/h2>\n

The shooting comes after months of mounting criticism<\/a> of the agency.<\/p>\n

In January, federal immigration agents shot dead two US citizens in Minneapolis: Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, killed by an ICE agent on January 7, and Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, shot by a US border agent.<\/p>\n

After Good\u2019s killing, Trump officials labelled her a \u201cdomestic terrorist\u201d even as video of the shooting cast doubt on claims she had tried to run over an agent.<\/p>\n

The federal government removed local authorities from the investigation, rejected calls for a civil rights probe, and sent hundreds more agents to Minnesota, bringing the total to 3,000, as protests spread to hundreds of US cities.<\/p>\n

Trump blamed the shift in American opinion about the immigration agency on unfair media coverage, urging DHS and ICE to publicise the \u201cviolent criminals\u201d they arrest.<\/p>\n

ICE has been tasked with a target of one million deportations a year.<\/p>\n

The agency doubled in size to more than 22,000 agents by January and is now the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency<\/a>, with about $75bn allocated to it over four years under a tax bill Trump signed last year.<\/p>\n
