ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal, 28, in the neck in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon as he sat in a car containing a 5-year-old child.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended the shooting on Friday, saying officers feared for public safety and were unaware of the child, and accused Mamdani of dangerous rhetoric and political theatre.
