Marble Hill

I don't associate with politics.

And I saw in Marble Hill what took place.

I think it was around 225th and Broadway.

I guess that's the one.

No, that's not the last.

It's like maybe the third to last stop on the one train uptown.

So for those that are unfamiliar, right, Marble Hill, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, they're linked, you know.

So obviously, well, some people may not know Manhattan is an island, right? And there's a small bridge around 220th and Broadway, and where that bridge is, it becomes the Bronx.

Mayor Zoran Mamdani is doubling down on his calls to abolish ICE days after federal agents opened fire on a man with a five-year-old child inside his car.

Today, Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen said the agency will release body camera video of the shooting in Marble Hill.

Eyewitness News reporter Lucy Yang is live in the newsroom with more.

Lucy.

That much is undisputed.

But tonight, controversy continues to brew over who's at fault for the escalation and what should be done with the man who was shot.

It was a chaotic scene in the Marble Hill section of the Bronx Thursday afternoon.

ICE agents attempting to arrest a 28-year-old man ended up shooting him while he was reportedly trying to flee.

Thank you, Ashante.

is growing in Manhattan after an ICE agent shot a man in Marble Hill, sparking protests across the city.

Demonstrators gathered in Herald Square calling for ICE to be abolished.

City leaders are demanding that 32-year-old Oscar Belgal be released.

Oh, this story is great.

Can New York City protect immigrant communities, remove dangerous offenders, and hold federal agents accountable all at once? Or must every violent confrontation become yet another political loyalty test? As you know, Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican national with a criminal record and alleged gang connections, was shot during a federal ICE operation in Marble Hill.

What do you want to do about it? The New York Post reports a former neighbor's allegation that Bengal previously threatened someone with a machete.

And, of course, Mayor Zoran Mamdani, a man whose name no one can pronounce, criticized the operation, of course, and sought Bengal's release.

Oh, this story's great.

And we're here talking about Saurabh Mamdani's affordable housing plan for neighborhoods, particularly zip codes in New York City, which happen to be white neighborhoods, or predominantly white neighborhoods.

So we're going to jump into that, but before we do, topic is way too hot so a recent ice shooting in manhattan in new york city in marble hill which is really manhattan or some people refer to as the bronx right in the border there seven rounds were fired at a vehicle and apparently there was a five-year-old kid inside that car so this goes back to what we often talk about what are the tactics of ice what were they faced with to actually end up firing seven rounds What was the causation to this? What was the ICE agent actually faced with? And that's what's important when we talk about these kind of cases.

So it's a wild time right now in New York City, wild time in this entire country when it comes to ICE.

And, you know, it does concern me that there was a five-year-old kid in the car.

Good morning.

It is a great discussion.

I said in the intro, what was the officer faced with before he got into... into a shooting in Manhattan, or some people refer to Marble Hills, the Bronx.

What was he faced with? And I'll tell you what he's faced with.

ICE sends people to make arrests who look like everyday people.

Officers who arrived at Marble Hill found men in construction-style vests and face masks, and at least one held a long gun.

A neighbor told The Intercept that one of them seemed to be posing as a construction worker, then took off the vest and put it in a car.

That is one witness, but the photos show plainclothes agents pinning a man to the asphalt while another agent in a yellow vest holds a rifle and a phone at the same time.

they have bounties on hunting people reform is not going to work here reform does not work when the one thing being reformed was built to do this mom donnie's right he says the agency must be abolished and council member tiffany caban agrees The New York Times reports that federal immigration agents have shot at no fewer than two dozen people since January 2025.

Six have died, and three of them were U.S. citizens.

Marble Hill seems to be the first ICE shooting in New York City since 2020.

And ICE arrests in New York State have climbed from 927 in May to 1,567 in July.

Yesterday, for the third day in a row, hundreds of protesters again took to the streets of New York City, calling on ICE to leave New York.

This, of course, is in response to the shooting of 28-year-old Oscar Bergal by a federal immigration officer in the Marble Hill neighborhood of New York on Thursday.

Bergal's five-year-old son was in the car when shots rang out.

Bergal, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after a federal judge temporarily blocked his deportation.

I'm Chris DeBello.

Well, it happened again this past Thursday in New York City in the Marble Hill section.

An ICE agent fired into a vehicle seven times to attempt to try to apprehend Oscar Balgal, who was an undocumented immigrant from the Dominican Republic.

He was picking up his son from school, his five-year-old son, who was sitting in the backseat as the ICE agent fired into the vehicle.
