Lawyers representing Oscar Belgal, a man wounded in a shooting by an immigration enforcement officer in New York City, stated in a court filing on Wednesday that the agent fired into his vehicle without warning and failed to identify himself. The incident occurred while Belgal was driving with his young son seated in the back of the car.
The official account provided by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents differs sharply from the version presented by Belgal's legal team. The case highlights conflicting narratives regarding the circumstances surrounding the use of force by federal immigration authorities during the encounter.
