ICE agent shoots man in New York City

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

The mayor of New York expressed outrage at the shooting which the Department of Homeland Security said happened during the arrest of a "criminal illegal alien".

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on the basic framing of an ICE agent shooting a man in New York City, with the man hospitalized and Mayor Zohran Mamdani responding. Several outlets, including NBC News, CNN, the Guardian, Al Jazeera and the AP, foreground the presence of a 5-year-old child in the car, while AP, Al Jazeera and some others also emphasize protests or public uproar. The New York Times alone in this set adds the claim that officials said they were trying to detain an undocumented immigrant, and Wired alone focuses on the agent’s alleged history.
