US immigration officials defend ICE agents who shot man in same car as child

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 10 October 2026 and 10 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Oscar Belgal, the 28-year-old man, survived the shooting and is now being held at a detention facility outside of New York, officials said.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the shooting and identify Oscar Belgal by name and age, with BBC News also noting that he survived and is now being held at a detention facility outside New York. The framing differs in that BBC News leads with immigration officials defending the ICE agents, while the New York Times uses a “What We Know” explainer and, in its extract, adds local detail about Belgal being known for fixing cars and playing music, plus a reference to his criminal record.
