Federal immigration agents shot a man named Oscar Belgal in the Bronx while his 5-year-old child was in the car, sparking a clash between city and federal officials over whether the use of force was justified. The government says Belgal was a gang member who tried to drive into agents, but city officials say there was no active warrant and question why plainclothes agents used such force in a public area. The incident raises concerns about ICE tactics, especially when children are involved, and calls are growing for body camera footage to be released.
