A man has been injured following a shooting incident in the Bronx that involved agents from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to officials. The event took place in the afternoon in the Marble Hill neighborhood, with investigators still gathering details about the circumstances.
New York City police confirmed the shooting but explicitly stated that no personnel from the local department were involved. The DHS serves as the parent agency for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and local media reports indicate that ICE agents were present at the scene.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she was briefed on the incident and called for accountability. In a statement posted on X, she emphasized that federal authorities must provide a transparent account of the events. “New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what happened and why,” Hochul said, adding that she expects a full disclosure.
The shooting comes amid heightened enforcement operations by the Trump administration, which has increased the scale of ICE raids across major US cities to target individuals residing illegally. As of now, the DHS has not issued a public comment regarding the specific details of the incident.
