US immigration officials defend ICE agents who shot man in same car as child

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 9 October 2026 and 10 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Oscar Belgal, the 28-year-old man, survived the shooting and is now being held at a detention facility outside of New York, officials said.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the shooting, but the BBC frames the story around immigration officials defending the ICE agents and, in its later extract, adds that Oscar Belgal survived and is being held in a detention facility. The New York Times takes a different angle, headlining “What We Know About the Man Shot By ICE” and foregrounding Belgal’s local presence and the note that few residents knew of his criminal record.
