Protests against ICE in New York in the area where a Dominican man was shot.

Demonstrators gathered on Thursday night outside the NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City to protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The protest followed an incident earlier that day in which a Dominican man was shot by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in an area between the Bronx and Manhattan.

The injured man was subsequently identified by ICE as being of Dominican descent. The federal agency defended the shooting by stating that the individual possesses a criminal record, while local community members and protesters mobilized at the hospital in response to the use of force during the operation.
