纽约,10月9日——周五,美国移民执法官员为那些开枪击伤一名纽约市男子的联邦特工辩护。当时该男子正驾车行驶,后座上还有一名据信是他儿子的幼童。纽约市市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼称这一事件为“令人发指的行径”。在新闻发布会上,美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林表示,特工们开枪时并不知道车内有孩子;他还指责这名多米尼加籍男子——此次执法行动的目标人物——将自己的汽车当作武器,从而危及了特工和孩子的生命安全。
NEW YORK, Oct 9 - US immigration officials on Friday defended federal agents who shot and wounded a New York City man in his car with a young child believed to be his son in the back seat, an incident that the city's mayor, Zohran Mamdani, called an "outrage." At a press conference, US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said officers did not know the child was in the car at the time they opened fire and accused the man, a Dominican who was the target of the operation, of endangering both officers and the child by using his car as a weapon.
这起枪击事件发生于周四下午,地点是马布尔希尔的居民区。当时,美国移民及海关执法局特工试图逮捕一名被确认为奥斯卡·贝尔加尔的男子。
The shooting took place on Thursday afternoon in the residential neighborhood of Marble Hill, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers attempted to arrest a man identified by authorities as Oscar Belgal.
据移民执法局高级官员马科斯·查尔斯在周五的新闻发布会上介绍,贝尔加尔在特工靠近时拒绝下车,随后加速驾车,撞上了两辆移民执法局的车辆,还驾车冲向其他特工,将汽车变成了“武器”。
Belgal refused to exit his car when approached by officers and then accelerated his car, struck two ICE vehicles and "weaponized" his vehicle by driving it toward other officers, Marcos Charles, a senior ICE official, said at a press conference on Friday.
查尔斯称,特工们随即开火,贝尔加尔颈部受了轻伤。目前他正被关押在纽约州外的拘留所。警方称,事发时贝尔加尔五岁的儿子就坐在后座上。
Officers opened fire, and Belgal suffered a superficial wound to his neck, Charles said. He is being held in a detention facility outside New York state. Belgal's five-year-old son was in the back seat at the time, according to police.
包括随身摄像机拍摄的画面在内的枪击事件录像尚未对外公开。在以往的多起暴力事件中,移民执法局或国土安全部的初步说法常常与录像及其他证据相矛盾,有时甚至在法庭上也是如此。穆林表示,随身摄像机拍摄的录像最终会予以公布。
Video of the shooting, including body camera footage, has not been made public. In other violent incidents, initial accounts from ICE or the Department of Homeland Security have repeatedly been contradicted by video and other evidence, sometimes in court. Mullin said the body camera footage would eventually be released.
据美国官方称,贝尔加尔是多米尼加人,目前属于非法居留状态。查尔斯称,他有犯罪记录,曾因犯有重大盗窃罪而被判有罪,2025年4月被判处五年缓刑。
Belgal is a Dominican who is in the country illegally, according to US officials. He has a criminal record, including a conviction for grand larceny, which led to a sentence of five years' probation in April 2025, Charles said.
周四晚些时候,马姆达尼在枪击案现场对记者表示,他已试图通过与唐纳德·特朗普总统及马林通话来促使贝尔加尔获释,但未能成功。
Speaking to reporters late on Thursday at the scene of the shooting, Mamdani said he had tried unsuccessfully to secure Belgal's release in phone calls with President Donald Trump and Mullin.
“这些举措正在让这座城市变得不再安全,”马姆达尼说道,“我们希望ICE离开我们的城市——离开我们的学校、医院和街道,远离我们的孩子。”周五,马林回应称,纽约实施的“庇护政策”限制了市属机构及警方与移民执法部门的合作,才导致贝尔加尔得以流窜街头而未被移交给联邦执法人员,他同时严厉批评了马姆达尼及该政策。
"These actions are making the city less safe," Mamdani said. "We want ICE out of our city, ICE out of our schools, ICE out of our hospitals, ICE out of our streets, ICE away from our kids." In response on Friday, Mullin attacked Mamdani and criticized New York's "sanctuary" policies, which restrict how much city agencies and police cooperate with immigration authorities, for allowing Belgal to be out on the streets instead of turning him over to federal agents.
据纽约市警察局长介绍,贝尔加尔于2025年因涉毒罪名被捕,目前案件仍在审理中。
Belgal was arrested on drug charges in 2025, a case that is still pending, according to the city's police commissioner.
