New York, NY, October 9, 2026 —
ICE agents discharged firearms in Marble Hill, New York, targeting Oscar Belgal. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement defending the agents’ actions, asserting that Belgal’s vehicle collided with their vehicles and subsequently accelerated toward officers.
In its defense, DHS acknowledged that the agents involved were not aware that a 5-year-old child was present inside Belgal’s vehicle during the incident.
However, bodycam footage released by the NYPD appears to present a different perspective. The footage shows NYPD officers transporting Belgal to a local hospital. This visual evidence reportedly contradicts the narrative provided by federal authorities regarding the circumstances of the shooting and Belgal’s condition.
Following his medical treatment, Oscar Belgal was transferred to a detention facility located outside of New York.
Details regarding the specific timeline of events, the exact nature of the vehicle contact, the extent of Belgal’s injuries, and the circumstances leading to the confrontation were not fully detailed in the initial reports. The status of the child passenger has also not been explicitly provided.
