US immigration officials have defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents involved in a New York shooting in which a man was shot while in the same car as a child.
Body-camera footage under examination
Body-camera video from the incident is being reviewed in an analysis by the BBC. The footage is central to coverage of the shooting and offers visual material for examining what occurred.
Why the incident matters
The shooting has drawn attention because of the presence of a child in the vehicle and the decision by immigration officials to defend the agents involved. The available information does not provide further details about the man’s condition, the child or any investigation into the incident.
The case remains focused on the actions captured in the body-camera footage and the official response from US immigration authorities.
