A federal judge barred the Trump administration from deporting a Dominican immigrant who was shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a targeted enforcement operation in New York.
On Oct. 9, U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken said in a two-page order that Oscar Bergal had filed a petition challenging his detention. The judge ruled that Bergal could not be removed from the United States without a court order.
Oetken also barred federal authorities from transferring Bergal to a facility located outside of New York State or New Jersey.
