• DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin responded to Mamdani — DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin held a press conference to respond to Mayor Mamdani's criticism of ICE. While flexing his fist on a rubber stress ball throughout, Mullin called Mamdani's words "dangerous and incite hostility" and called the shooting subject "a thug, an absolute worst of the worst." When asked whether it was clear to the subject that he was being stopped by ICE given that agents were in plain clothes and vehicles were unmarked, Mullin responded that undercover investigations necessarily involve unmarked cars and uniforms.

• ICE agents shot man in car with 5-year-old in Manhattan — ICE agents surrounded a vehicle in Marble Hill in northern Manhattan and fired multiple rounds into the vehicle, shooting a man in the neck. The vehicle also contained a 5-year-old child. The man was taken to a hospital, remained conscious, and was in stable condition as of Thursday night.
• ICE agent shoots man in New York City during enforcement operation with child in vehicle — An ICE agent shot and wounded a 28-year-old man during an enforcement operation in the Marble Hill neighborhood of Manhattan on Thursday afternoon. Early reports indicated agents surrounded the man and a five-year-old child in a car before firing multiple rounds. The child was physically unharmed. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated he negotiated unsuccessfully with President Trump and DHS Secretary Mullin for the man's release and demanded ICE cease enforcement in the city. The shooting sparked immediate protests and clashes between demonstrators and NYPD at a nearby hospital.
• ICE officer shoots man in neck during arrest in Manhattan's Marble Hill neighborhood — On Thursday afternoon, a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot Oscar Belgal, 28, in the neck with an assault-style rifle during an arrest in Manhattan's Marble Hill neighborhood. Belgal's young child was in the back of his car at the time. Residents reported the officers were not clearly identified and expressed fear and anger. Belgal was detained and booked into the federal Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. A federal judge ordered ICE to keep him in the area after his attorneys filed emergency motions requesting release.
• WIRED reported on ICE agent Brenden Cuni's history of unlawful arrests — WIRED reported that an ICE agent on the scene of the Manhattan shooting, identified as Brenden Cuni, has repeatedly been accused in federal court of unlawful arrests and using force during arrests in New York City and Minneapolis. Cuni was photographed at the scene in a high-visibility yellow construction vest brandishing a modified AR-15-style rifle. Federal court cases, social media, and public records reviewed by WIRED suggest Cuni has repeatedly been at the center of illegal ICE street arrests. Court filings accuse him of using a Taser on a handcuffed man, while activists allege he forced a pregnant woman to the ground during a Minneapolis operation. In recent months, federal judges have repeatedly found arrests involving Cuni unlawful, with one judge calling an arrest warrant he signed "fraudulent," another saying video evidence contradicts his sworn account, and a third case where the government withdrew his sworn statements as inaccurate.

• NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for ICE removal from city — NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a press conference expressing anger at ICE following the shooting in Manhattan. Mamdani called for ICE to be removed from the city, schools, hospitals, and streets, stating that ICE operates with impunity, sows chaos and terror, and has killed more people than it has saved. He criticized the shooting tactics as having no explanation, particularly firing multiple rounds into a car with a 5-year-old. Mamdani noted that ICE agents in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles create confusion about whether they are law enforcement or attackers. He stated he made clear to the president and secretary that ICE agents should leave the scene and cease enforcement actions in NYC, arguing these actions make the city less safe and terrify New Yorkers.

• Family of Renee Good files wrongful death lawsuits against ICE agent and Trump officials — The family of Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three killed by an ICE agent on January 7, 2026, during Minneapolis immigration protests, filed two federal lawsuits on September 30, 2026. The suits name the agent who shot her, Jonathan Ross, and senior Trump administration officials including former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The lawsuits allege wrongful death, civil rights violations, and conspiracy, claiming Good was shot while steering her vehicle away from the agent, contradicting DHS claims of self-defense and domestic terrorism.
• Lawsuits filed over death of Renee Good during Operation Metro Surge — The family and partner of Renee Good, killed during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, filed two lawsuits—one against ICE agent Jonathan Ross and senior Trump administration officials, the other against the federal government. The complaint alleges Operation Metro Surge was a "violent and discriminatory campaign" targeting Minnesotans based on race and national origin, resulting in two deaths, one shooting, one death in detention, and over $200 million in economic damage. The lawsuit documents that federal officials immediately blamed Good for her own death without investigation, with DHS and the President calling her a "domestic terrorist" and "professional agitator," while the Deputy AG announced no investigation would occur and the FBI was pressured to abandon a civil rights inquiry into the shooter.

Officials took Garcés Pérez back to the hospital on Monday after public outcry. His lawyer said he had a valid work permit and is an asylum seeker, and that the deportation order came because notice of his immigration court hearing was sent to the wrong address.

• DHS approves $20 million plan to equip ICE officers with electric-shock gloves — The Department of Homeland Security published plans to spend up to $20 million to outfit Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) electric-shock gloves by March 2027. The gloves deliver electric shocks via button activation and bare-skin contact. Civil rights groups and legal experts have raised alarm, citing inadequate oversight of ICE use of force, lowered hiring standards, and documented cases of abuse in detention facilities, including a Kentucky man allegedly shocked 27 times who suffered cardiac arrest, and a middle school student shocked by police in Omaha.
• ICE awarded $16.7 million contract for electric-shock gloves — On Thursday, ICE awarded a $16.7 million no-bid contract to purchase 6,000 pairs of electric-shock gloves capable of delivering painful electrical shocks through direct contact with skin, along with support equipment and services over six months. The award came hours after Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and 15 colleagues urged ICE to cancel the plan, raising concerns about deploying another use-of-force device during civil immigration arrests without clear rules and oversight. Earlier in August, 50501 reported that ICE was considering spending up to $20 million on the gloves.

The gloves deliver 324–362 volts through direct skin contact and are designed for use by ICE agents in Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement and Removal Operations.
• ICE announces procurement of shock gloves for detainee control — On August 10, ICE published a notice announcing plans to spend up to $20 million on shock gloves that deliver electrical charges to subdue individuals. The manufacturer's warnings specify the device should subdue someone in three seconds or less, must not be used longer than 15 seconds, should not be used simultaneously on one person, must avoid the head, face, throat, chest, and groin, and must not be used on the elderly, children, pregnant women, people with severe disabilities, or as punishment or torture. The procurement represents a significant expansion of potentially harmful restraint technology.
• ICE procurement of electric shock gloves for immigration enforcement — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of Glove (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) devices—gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks—for use by officers and agents by March 2027.

DHS estimates the contract at $10 million to $20 million, with ICE intending to issue the devices to officers and agents in Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement and Removal Operations. The manufacturer's manual warns against use against vulnerable groups including children, pregnant people, the elderly, and those with severe disabilities, and recommends a maximum activation of 15 seconds. A pending lawsuit alleges a 43-year-old died when Kentucky jail officers shocked him 27 times with shock gloves and 13 times with a Taser in 2024.
• ICE plans to spend $20 million on electric shock gloves for agents — The Associated Press reported that ICE is planning to spend up to $20 million to give its agents electric shock gloves to use as part of enforcement operations.

Cases span facilities in Texas, Florida, Washington, and Arizona. Many detainees lacked legal representation during proceedings.
• ICE force-feeding of detained hunger strikers revealed in at least 10 cases — Since Trump's return to office in January 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has subjected at least 10 detained immigrants to involuntary force-feeding procedures, including an Afghan man force-fed for nearly six months, a Ukrainian man whose force-feeding was stopped by legal intervention, and a Saudi woman who broke her strike under threat of the procedure. ICE obtained emergency court orders, often without the detainee's legal representation, to restrain hunger strikers and insert nasogastric tubes. Medical experts and human rights organizations characterize the practice as torture.
• ICE force-fed at least 10 detained hunger strikers — A Guardian investigation of court records identified at least 10 cases in which ICE sought to subject detained hunger strikers to involuntary medical procedures, with at least three and possibly five individuals force-fed. A Kurdish asylum seeker at Port Isabel Service Processing Center in Texas was force-fed for nearly eight months; another endured six months. The procedure involves guards restraining detainees while medical staff insert a tube through the nose into the stomach and pump liquid nutrition. Human rights organizations classify force-feeding of competent hunger strikers as torture.

• Trump administration charged hundreds with assaulting federal agents in immigration crackdown — The Trump administration has charged more than 550 people with assaulting or impeding federal agents during its nationwide immigration crackdown. However, a New York Times examination found that nearly half of the more than 400 cases resolved have unraveled: juries acquitted defendants, judges threw out charges, or prosecutors withdrew them. Court records and videos show federal agents were often the first to use physical force, including shoving, tackling, and pepper-spraying. Judges repeatedly chastised prosecutors and immigration agents for misconduct including distorting facts, withholding evidence, and destroying evidence. Officers charged more than two dozen people for merely filming agents or following them. In more than 100 cases, prosecutors did not claim agents were injured.
• Trump Administration's Immigration Crackdown Faces Legal Challenges — The Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown has led to charges against hundreds of people for assaulting or impeding federal agents. However, many cases have unraveled due to misconduct by federal law enforcement, including evidence destruction and misrepresentation in court. This pattern of legal challenges raises questions about the administration's approach to immigration enforcement.

Both men were shot by federal officers without body cameras and were not the intended targets. President Trump, via Truth Social, insisted ICE continue traffic stops, framing the DHS pause as capitulation to criminals and crediting ICE with crime reduction. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin subsequently aligned with Trump's position, announcing deportation enforcement and a $2,600 payment offer to undocumented immigrants to leave voluntarily.
• Trump overruled ICE vehicle-stop suspension order — President Trump overruled his own administration's order suspending most ICE vehicle stops after receiving intense pushback from his MAGA base. White House officials reported Trump heard complaints from hard-line allies including MAGA influencer Tomi Lahren, former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, and podcaster Steve Bannon. Trump concluded that ICE abandoning traffic stops would "make them all look weak," and reversed the policy based on cable-news segments he watched.
• Trump directed ICE to continue traffic stops despite deaths — At 6:45 a.m. on July 16, Trump issued a statement insisting that ICE agents continue traffic stops as a "Crime Fighting tool," overriding an ICE memo issued the previous day that had ordered agents to prioritize tactics other than traffic stops. The directive came after two immigrants were killed in separate ICE operations six days apart, neither of whom was the intended target. Trump's statement falsely characterized undocumented immigrants as "Criminals" and rejected calls from Senator Susan Collins and others to cease non-urgent vehicle stops.

The report identified 203 injuries including blindings, traumatic brain injuries, lacerations, fractures, and contusions. DHS officials were responsible for 64% of documented misuse incidents. Researchers noted the true injury count is likely far greater due to difficulty documenting invisible injuries.
• Law enforcement misuses less-lethal weapons against ICE detention facility protesters — A report released this week identified 412 instances in which law enforcement officers have misused "less-lethal weapons," such as tear gas and rubber bullets, against protesters at Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities. The report, covering the period from June 2025 to May 2026, also found 203 instances of injuries resulting from this misuse. The widespread pattern of weapon misuse against protesters raises serious concerns about excessive force and violation of constitutional rights.
