Teen boy from Ghana chased and fatally shot on way to school in New York City

The fatal shooting came as Javits marked one year of being in New York after arriving from Ghana, Frimpong said. Frimpong described his son as “clever” and “quiet”. Javits was being bullied at the DreamYard preparatory school, according to Frimpong. 

Frimpong said the high school’s principal, who could not be reached for comment by phone or email, informed him recently that two students were suspended for harassing Javits, he said…

Mississippi attorney general rules fatal police shooting of one-year-old as ‘justified’

The Mississippi bureau of investigation, which investigated the shooting, alleged that the driver “drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one”. But the civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, released an independent autopsy that indicated Wiley was shot from the side of the car, not the front, which contradicted officers’ statements that Ferrell headed towards them...

Mamdani says ICE agents who shot man in New York looked like ‘mass shooters’

“What you can see in that video and the videos that have been released since, people, bystanders outside [are] unsure as to what they were even seeing because in that imagery – it feels like you’re looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who is reportedly representing a federal agency,” Mamdani said. 

Additionally, Mamdani contended that ICE agents “view the law as a suggestion” – alluding to how the New York police department prohibits officers from firing at someone in a vehicle in most circumstances. 

“There is a reason why law enforcement agents are supposed to wear identifiable information and uniforms,” the mayor also said…

DHS chief defends New York ICE shooting, calling victim one of ‘the worst of the worst’ - POLITICO

Mamdani accused the administration Thursday of refusing to release Belgal and said ICE endangered communities. He and other progressives also called for the abolition of ICE. 

In Mullin’s telling, however, President Donald Trump offered to release Belgal into the custody of the New York Police Department, but Mamdani declined that offer. Mullin also said that Hochul told him that she’d like to help ICE apprehend criminals but also said she wanted to see a pause for now on enforcement…

US citizen alleges immigration agent in Chicago shot her from behind

Martinez’s lawyers said on Monday that they commissioned an expert to analyze bullet trajectories and her injuries – and determined Exum wasn’t in the path of her car when he opened fire. They said he had walked several feet toward her car, contrary to statements he made to the FBI, and fired off five shots in less than a second, the last from the rear side of her vehicle. 

“Charles Exum told the FBI agent on that day, within hours of the shooting, that Marimar was driving her car directly at him, that he shot her five times through the windshield, and that he ceased firing once he was no longer in the path of the vehicle,” one of her attorneys, Chris Parente, said. “Those are three objective lies that you’ll see here today.”…

Democrats call for investigation into ICE officer shooting in Maine after new reports emerge

In response to the AP’s reporting about Brouillette, top US Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer similarly criticized the Trump administration for its mass hiring of thousands of ICE officers to help carry out its mass deportation goals. 

Schumer, of New York, accused the Trump administration of rushing 12,000 agents “onto our streets without ensuring they were fit to carry a badge and a gun”. The president and his Republican allies then “gave this rogue agency vast power and no accountability”, Schumer continued on X, arguing that neither Trump nor his party can “disown the deadly consequences” of that approach by ICE...
