Video captured on Oct. 8, 2026, shows a crowd of anti‑ICE demonstrators pushing metal barricades against NYPD officers outside NewYork‑Presbyterian Allen Hospital in the Bronx, after federal agents shot a suspected illegal migrant.
Among the protesters was presumptive New York congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier, who was recorded yelling, “stop escalating… you are pushing,” at a supervising officer while urging demonstrators to move back.
Witnesses heard chants such as “our streets!” and profanity‑filled shouts, while some protesters lifted barricades over an officer’s head. The incident followed an ICE operation that shot Oscar Belgal, a Dominican immigrant, in Marble Hill earlier that day.
