Kathy HochulGovernor of New York, in an exclusive interview with Newsday

Gov. Kathy Hochul told Newsday "This has gone too far" and that hearing shots were fired into a car with a five-year-old child in it violates all training and all precepts of normal law enforcement.

“This has gone too far. We have to return our streets back to normalcy ... But to hear that there was a five-year-old child in the vehicle and shots were fired into a car, that violates all training, all precepts of normal law enforcement.”

Where this statement fits

Was ICE justified in shooting a man in a car in Marble Hill?

On October 8, 2026, an ICE officer shot a man in a car near Marble Hill Avenue and West 225th Street in Marble Hill, a neighborhood the NYPD placed in the Bronx and ABC News and The Intercept placed in upper Manhattan. DHS said ICE officers were conducting a targeted operation in the Bronx to arrest a man from the Dominican Republic with a prior grand larceny conviction and multiple prior arrests, and that an officer discharged his weapon during the incident. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said early reports indicated agents surrounded the man and his 5-year-old child in the car before firing multiple rounds. The NYPD said it was not involved and that the man was conscious at a hospital. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch later said evidence at the scene indicates at least one ICE agent discharged seven rounds, striking the driver in the neck. At a press conference on October 9, ICE's Marcos Charles said the man accelerated into two ICE vehicles and toward other officers, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the agents feared for their lives. A federal judge later barred ICE from removing the man from the country or moving him outside New York and New Jersey while his habeas corpus petition proceeds.

About this source

NewsdayTV report of October 9, 2026 on Gov. Kathy Hochul's exclusive interview at Newsday's Melville newsroom about the Marble Hill shooting.

Before the quotation

NewsdayTV reporter Andrew Ehinger said Hochul was reacting to the shooting in an exclusive interview, and the report showed newly released NYPD body camera footage and said a five-year-old child in the car was unharmed.

After the quotation

Ehinger reported that Hochul said she spoke to the president and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin right after the shooting and asked for a full review, for ICE to back off its enforcement actions in the state and to unmask its officers.

How this statement is classified

Condemned

The label describes this statement's response within the context above.

Why this label?

The reference point is whether the ICE officer was justified in shooting the man in the car. Hochul says that firing into a car with a five-year-old inside "violates all training, all precepts of normal law enforcement", which rejects the shooting as unjustified, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Challenged characterization; it loses because she condemns the shooting itself rather than only disputing how it was described.
