   >“He was wanting us to release this individual back onto the streets,” Mullin told reporters Friday. “If NYPD wants to take the charges and pursue the charges, we’ll be happy to release him into the custody of NYPD. I shared that with the mayor. The mayor once again said we will not be detaining him.” Apparently Mamdani thinks he should walk free. Guess that's the difference between an Progressive and a Liberal.

I don't want to do it, but I have to side with Trump on this one.

   If NYPD had handed him over to ICE after his ARMED ROBBERY conviction none of this would’ve happened. Another example of how democrat policy’s put people in danger.

   Criminal illegal' migrant shot by ICE has rap sheet of alarming crimes - and is 'absolutely not' a New Yorker - The Dominican Republic native shot by ICE agents in The Bronx was a migrant with an alarming rap sheet — who apparently benefited from New York’s lax bail and sanctuary laws, allowing him to remain on the streets, according to sources and court records. Oscar Belgal, 28, is believed to have entered the US illegally around 2022, robbed someone at gunpoint in Fordham Heights a year later, allegedly sold dangerous drugs within months of his conviction in 2025 and was even allegedly connected to a violent street gang. None of that stopped Mayor Zohran Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to. “I don’t consider him a New Yorker,” fumed Bronx mom Migdalia Martinez, whose 12-year-old son Jacob Freytas was killed in gangland crossfire while riding his bike in July. “The only thing I do consider him as is trash, nothing else but trash. And I don’t consider New York, my home, as trash,” she told The Post Friday. Asked if Mamdani was wrong to call Belgal a New Yorker, Martinez said: “The mayor is wrong in many ways — that’s definitely one.” Martinez’ son was tragically struck by a stray bullet in Mt. Eden, known Trinitarios territory, and authorities said they suspected the vicious gang was involved in the violence. US Department of Homeland Security officials have said the same gang was involved in the July 2025 shooting of an off-duty CBP officer at Fort Washington Park — and that they were investigating alleged links to Belgal when they approached him Thursday. Security footage showed plainclothes ICE agents rushing Belgal’s parked car in Marble Hill at around 4 p.m. with guns drawn, before he peeled away, and out of the view of the CCTV cameras. Marcos Charles, the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division, said Belgal “accelerated” at the agents, “smashing” into two of them. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed the ICE agents were wearing body-worn cameras, but the feds didn’t immediately release the footage. Federal sources said it’s believed Belgal slipped into the US with a migrant caravan in 2022 without encountering border patrol. By December 2023, he’d been arrested for the armed robbery a month prior, according to authorities and court records. Belgal was driving with two people in the backseat along Morris Avenue, when he turned and pointed a gun at them while demanding “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” according to the criminal complaint. The victims handed over jewelry and about $500 cash, and Belgal was later caught — but then released without bail pending trial, records showed. He pleaded guilty to a lesser rap of fourth-degree grand larceny in April 2025, with the deal landing him a mere month in jail and five years probation when he was sentenced in January, officials said. That brush with the law apparently did little to reform Belgal — just months after his conviction he was arrested again in August 2025, this time for allegedly selling dangerous drugs like fentanyl, cocaine and heroin in a case that remains open. Those drug charges were not bail-eligible — meaning Belgal was sprung after his arrest — but prosecutors requested and were granted the highest level of “supervised release,” law enforcement sources said. But federal sources said detention detainer order was issued for Belgal after his arrest, meaning ICE requested he be handed over to the agency by local authorities — an ask that wasn’t honored. Mullin said New York’s sanctuary laws — which largely bar local cooperation with federal immigration authorities — prevented them from catching Belgal, and endangered Americans. “Sanctuary politicians create an environment for criminal activity to thrive, not for American citizens to be safe,” he said. “When you have sanctuary cities and politicians, you endanger the safety of the public.” Belgal was back behind bars — this time in federal custody — Friday after an ICE agent shot him in the neck during the attempted arrest where he tried to drive off in his Honda SUV with his 5-year-old son in the backseat. Intense bodycam footage from the NYPD showed cops rushing to the scene and finding ICE agents tending to the wounded Belgal, while his terrified son screamed in the background. Seven bullets smashed through the car’s front, side and rear windows, but Belgal survived the injury and was rushed to a hospital. His son was physically unharmed and is now in the care of family. It was the second time ICE had attempted to arrest Belgal — the agency tried in September, but officials said he managed to flee and get away. His shooting sparked widespread outrage from lefty New York pols and anti-ICE protesters, who swarmed NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where cops brought Belgal in the aftermath — before he was swept away by the feds in a car. “A New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” the mayor told reporters. “ICE agents surrounded the man’s vehicle before opening fire. They wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces. There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents. “You are hearing from New Yorkers right now — anguish, pain, anger — at the fact that here in this city, the world’s city, immigrants have to wake up every morning and not know if they can live the lives that they should be able to live,” he fumed. But not every New Yorker shared the mayor’s views — including one of Belgal’s Upper Manhattan neighbors, who answered with a staunch “No” when asked if she considered him a New Yorker. “Absolutely not. That’s one of the reasons I think we should vote blue out,” former neighbor Mora Rodriguez told The Post. “What’s going on with the legal system, the jail, letting these people go after they have a whole list of convictions. This is a criminal. Why would you let this person out?” said Rodriguez, a longtime and elderly resident of Belgal’s old Inwood building. “These judges are very radical. We gotta vote red. That’s what I can say to you.” Belgal was released from the hospital and sent to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after a court hearing seeking his release Friday. His name was bafflingly different across various court documents and agencies — which alternatively listed him as Belgal, Bengal or Bergal. Mullin said Belgal was being eyed by the feds over the shooting that injured the off-duty CBP officer, claiming he was believed to have “direct or indirect knowledge” of the crime. That shooting was carried out by two illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic, one of whom was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Monday. Law-enforcement sources said Belgal’s name and contact was in the phone of one of the suspects in that shooting, prompting ICE to seek him out.

   Has nothing to do with qualified immunity, that's a separate issue. Look up Article I sec 17 and Article V sec 7 of NY state constitution. Then the Taylor law and the Triborough amendment. And finally Niagara Frontier and Poughkeepsie v Newman court cases (there are more but these are the key ones). Collectively, the government has no power against unions. They can't touch them, virtually under any circumstance. So for example, even if strikes are outlawed for certain unions (e.g., the MTA), constitutional protections mean the government can't do anything if those laws are broken. In the NYPD example, the sole option the government has is to permanently cease from offering any sort of police service.
