00:00What happened today was an outrage.
00:03An ICE agent shoots a man in New York City with a 5-year-old child in the backseat of
00:07his car.
00:08Now, protests are erupting and the city's mayor is calling for ICE to be abolished.
00:13Demonstrators clash with police overnight following the shooting in New York's Marble Hill neighborhood.
00:18It happened around 4 Thursday afternoon in a mostly residential area as children were coming home from school.
00:24Bystander video shows an ICE agent wearing a construction vest holding a gun as a man is taken into custody.
00:31The Department of Homeland Security says agents were carrying out a targeted enforcement operation when one of them fired his
00:38weapon.
00:39Police say the 28-year-old man was shot in the neck and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
00:44The 5-year-old boy was in the car at the time but was not injured.
00:48Mayor Zoran Wamdani is condemning the shooting and renewing his call to abolish ICE.
00:53Let me say this plainly.
00:55What happened today was an outrage.
00:59We know, and I have said this directly, whether to the president or to the public, ICE undermines public safety.
01:07It makes us less safe.
01:10New York City will not stand by while ICE agents shoot New Yorkers.
01:14And we will not back down from the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward time and again.
01:21This is an agency that must be abolished.
01:24Governor Kathy Hochul is also condemning the shooting, saying it could have easily ended in tragedy.
01:29She says she spoke with President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen and is demanding the release of
01:36any body camera footage to help establish what happened.
01:39Governor Kathy Goldstein
01:39I don't know.
