The New York Post's Saturday edition has added new details to Thursday's shooting of a Dominican man by ICE officers in the Bronx — an incident in which the man was shot with a child in his car. The Post's front-page banner declared the victim "NOT A NEW YORKER," publishing what it describes as the man's criminal history and alleged gang ties.
The development lands in the middle of an escalating standoff between Mayor Mamdani, who has demanded the agency leave the city, and the Department of Homeland Security, which has labeled the victim an "inciter." Each side is now using the case to make a broader argument about immigration enforcement in New York City.
The underlying shooting remains under scrutiny: federal officers fired on a vehicle during an enforcement action, and questions about the use of force — and the presence of a child — continue to draw condemnation from city officials and civil-rights advocates alike.
