Darializa Avila Chevalier, Democratic nominee for Congress in NY's 13th Congressional District, says her district is “a community that is very proudly an immigrant community.” Adding, “at the heart of this, the most preventable thing we could have done is abolish this agency.”

A NYC community organizer says the shooting was “devastating, but not surprising,” pointing to past violence involving immigration agents. They say the trauma goes beyond one person or family and affects communities across the city.

This bodega's manager, close to yesterday’s ICE shooting in NYC, spoke to El Grito. Ruth Hilario says people are scared; nothing like this has ever happened before. Adding, her community is made up of hardworking immigrants, and agents shouldn't have shot with a child close by.

We called the small business that had a clear view of yesterday’s ICE shooting. The manager told El Grito’s Paola that the NYPD asked them not to share the video. She told contributing journalist Andrea different law enforcement came asking for the footage too, but it was gone.

DHS says the man shot by an ICE agent in NYC had a prior conviction and associations with the Trinitarios gang. A witness says he pulled over agents barricaded him in. He then tried to drive away and that’s when agents fired.

After seeing an ICE agent holding an assault style rifle during yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, we asked DHS what their policy surrounding its usage…they pointed us to this heavily redacted document…

There’s been another ICE shooting. The NYPD tweeted the non-fatal shooting happened at around 4pm today in the Bronx. The police say the person is current conscious receiving care at a nearby hospital. The Mayor says a child was in the car when agents fire multiple rounds.

The IRS's draft 2026 Form 1040 asks if you're a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or an alien lawfully authorized to work in the U.S. It's a draft, not final, and the IRS hasn't said how it would use the answers.

Toxic fumes filled the air in Houston after a chemical plant lost power and used emergency flaring. The communities living closest to these plants are often communities of color.

New NBC/Telemundo poll shows Latino voters are pulling support for Pres. Trump and Republicans. His approval rating is 27% among Latino voters, with 69% disapproving. The new polling shows Latinos also disapprove of his handling of the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed 21 immigration bills into law. He said the legislation is designed to protect communities, strengthen public safety, and push back against Pres. Trump’s immigration enforcement.

This term SCOTUS is gonna hear a case that could decide the future of third-country deportations and mandatory detention in ICE facilities. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on those. 👩🏽‍⚖️
