Children's presenter Ms Rachel said a five-year-old boy 'was deeply harmed' after an agent from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot his father. The boy, sitting in the back seat, was not physically injured. On Friday, a federal judge temporarily barred the government from deporting Oscar Belgal, 28, whose surname appears as Bergal in court filings.

Police said the agent fired seven shots on Thursday, 8 October. ICE officers were trying to arrest Belgal in Marble Hill, New York. A bullet hit his neck. Since President Donald Trump's second term began, federal immigration agents have shot at least 21 people, the Legal Aid Society says.
