00:02U.S. immigration agents shot and wounded a man in his car in New York City on Thursday, with a
00:08five-year-old child in the back seat.
00:10When ICE agents opened fire, a five-year-old child, a five-year-old child, was in the back seat
00:18of the car.
00:19Thank God that child is physically unharmed.
00:23The shooting has intensified scrutiny of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
00:29Since his return to office, federal immigration agents have shot at least 21 people, seven fatally, sparking protests nationwide.
00:39Mamdani said he had urged the Trump administration to halt ICE enforcement operations in the city.
00:45For the past two hours, I've been on the phone with President Trump and Secretary Mueller, negotiating the release of
00:54the man ICE agent shot.
00:55Now, those negotiations were unsuccessful.
01:00ICE undermines public safety.
01:02It makes us less safe.
01:05New York City will not stand by while ICE agents shoot New Yorkers.
01:09And we will not back down from the demand of so many, including myself, to put forward time and again.
01:16This is an agency that must be alive.
01:20New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the child had been located and placed with a family member after a
01:26welfare check.
01:27The Department of Homeland Security, DHS, said ICE agents were conducting a targeted operation in the Bronx to arrest a
01:3628-year-old Dominican national with a previous criminal conviction.
01:40Tisch said the man had been arrested twice in New York City, in 2023 and 2025.
01:48DHS said an ICE officer fired his weapon at about 4 p.m. local time, injuring the man.
