Outrage is growing in New York City after federal immigration enforcement agents shot a Dominican man in his car where a five-year-old child was also present. 'What happened today was an outrage,' said Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who also called for ICE to be abolished. The Department of Homeland Security described the man as a 'criminal illegal alien' with a prior grand larceny conviction and a history of other arrests, a claim the man's lawyer denies.
