ICE officer shoots a man while making an arrest in New York, officials say

NEW YORK - A federal immigration officer shot and wounded a Dominican man while arresting him in New York City on Thursday, during what the Department of Homeland Security called a "targeted enforcement operation." Protesters and local officials decried it as an example of the dangers of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
