Protests erupted in New York City on Thursday, after a federal immigration agent shot and wounded a man in the Marble Hill neighborhood of northern Manhattan. Seven shots rang out in quick succession just after 4 p.m. on a crowded street as people walked home from work or accompanied their children home from school. Twenty-eight-year-old Oscar Belgal was struck in the neck. His 5-year-old child, who was in the back seat, was physically unharmed. Belgal was taken to a local hospital, where hundreds of protesters soon gathered to demand his release, chanting ”ICE off our streets now!” and “We want justice!” New York police arrested four people and assaulted many others, including congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, who was knocked to the ground. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he called President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to negotiate Belgal’s release but was rebuffed. Mamdani expressed outrage over the shooting and repeated his call to abolish ICE.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: ”ICE undermines public safety. It makes us less safe. New York City will not stand by while ICE agents shoot New Yorkers, and we will not back down from the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward time and again. This is an agency that must be abolished.”

This comes after the Trump administration ordered immigration agents to increase their daily arrest total to 3,000 arrests — up from 2,000 per day — through the midterm elections. After headlines, we’ll speak with Democratic congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier and City Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa.

In Harrison, New Jersey, there’s growing outrage over the violent detention of a man by masked federal immigration agents in a chaotic scene that was caught on video. Footage of Wednesday’s incident shows a woman holding a baby and a young boy trying to hold onto a handcuffed man as federal agents attempt to push him into an unmarked SUV. Another child collapses to the pavement, wailing, as bystanders attempt to intervene, shouting “It’s a kid!” and “She’s got a baby!”

Bystander: “Come on, y’all! It’s kids! She’s got a baby! Relax. Papi, no! Papi! Come here, papi! No, papi! Come on, papi! You’ve got to let him go! Papi, you’ve got to let him go! Baby, please! Please! Please! Please!”

Some agents in the video wore masks despite a New Jersey law banning law enforcement officers from covering their faces, in most cases.

In Chicago, the family of Silverio Villegas González has filed a formal complaint against the Trump administration, seeking damages for what they’re calling the “execution-style killing” of the 38-year-old Mexican father of two. Villegas González was killed by ICE agents in September 2025 in a Chicago suburb during Operation Midway Blitz. He was unarmed and had no criminal record.

In a statement, the Villegas family wrote, “The administration has tried to justify his death by smearing his good name with lies and false narratives, but here is the truth: After Silverio was shot, two innocent children were left without their father, and we were left without a brother and son. We are united by the same pain that every family who has been impacted by this inhumane immigration system faces.”

The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has finally returned to San Diego after an unprecedented 265 consecutive days at sea. During the extended deployment, there were at least eight suicide attempts amid reports of deteriorating troop morale linked to poor conditions, food shortages and contaminated water. The Navy faced difficulty restocking the ship after Iran blew up a key Navy logistics hub at a base in Bahrain in February, which forced the Navy to relocate its regional logistics and supply hub over 2,000 miles away to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

In related news, a new congressional report reveals at least 81 U.S. military aircraft and drones have been damaged or destroyed since the U.S. launched its war against Iran.

In Michigan, Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed faced off against former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in their first debate Thursday evening. Dr. El-Sayed criticized Rogers’s support for foreign wars.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: “I’ve got a guy to my left over here who thinks that the best use of our money is to go fight wars abroad. What has that given us? It’s part of the reason why while he was in Congress, $12 trillion, the national debt blew up, because he’s never seen a war he didn’t want us fighting. So, I don’t consider an ally a country that takes us to wars we don’t need to fight, and I don’t want to be fighting wars we don’t need to fight.”

During the debate, Mike Rogers defended the tens of millions of dollars spent by AIPAC and other pro-Israel groups in support of his campaign. He also defended his staunch support for Israel.

Mike Rogers: “I support, just staunchly, their right to exist, the right to exist for the Jewish state, and the right to defend itself in a very difficult neighborhood.”

Rick Albin: “Got 10 seconds. Is there anything Israel could do that would lose your support?”

Mike Rogers: “Listen, if they’re talking about using nuclear weapons, I would — they would definitely lose my support.”

Rick Albin: “All right. Thank you very much.”

Mike Rogers: “I’ve never heard them say that, though.”

In Ukraine, the death toll from Russian attacks over the past two days has climbed to 78, after a bomb tore through two buses Thursday in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk near the frontlines. The attack left debris and body parts littered across a road. In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the Trump administration for pursuing economic ties with Russia — while also serving as a mediator in efforts to end the war.

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, the South African-born jurist and human rights activist, for her efforts to promote peace and international law. Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in a case against Burma alleging genocide over the military’s treatment of Rohingyas. She previously served as a judge on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She also served as the U.N. high commissioner for human rights and, until recently, chaired the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Last year, the commission concluded Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. This Is Navi Pillay speaking about the commission’s findings.

Navi Pillay: “In our report, the commission found that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces committed and are continuing to commit the following underlying acts of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip: one, killing members of the group; two, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; three, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and, four, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.”

We’ll have more on 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay later in the broadcast with war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has convened a federal grand jury as it seeks a criminal indictment of Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide who was a key witness to the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In 2022, Cassidy testified that President Trump knew attendees to his rally outside the White House on January 6 were armed with assault rifles, handguns, knives and mace, but ordered the Secret Service to remove security magnetometers, or “mags,” from the rally.

Cassidy Hutchinson: “I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the president say something to the effect of, you know, 'I don't effing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.’”

House Democrats are calling for a probe into an alleged pay-to-play scheme involving Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece. The Wall Street Journal reports Guilfoyle requested a Republican donor named Eric Deters to give her $100,000 just days before her confirmation hearing. Guilfoyle wrote to Deters, “You could just send it here. It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express. Please.” Deters spoke to ABC News on Thursday.

Eric Deters: “She was so desperate for me to send that $100,000, she said, 'If you do this for me,' — and it’s in the text messages — 'I will be your ride or die in Trump World.'”

Guilfoyle is the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr.

In related news, The Wall Street Journal reports Guilfoyle got into a heated argument in March with Greece’s energy minister. Guilfoyle referred to the impending collapse of the Romanian government and then said, “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here.”

In an unprecedented move, the U.S. military will live-stream the execution of former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 people at the Fort Hood military base in 2009. He is set to be killed by firing squad on December 3. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed the plan on the far-right Real America’s Voice News channel.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be. And we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that this is — there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”

The execution of Nidal Hasan is set to become the first public execution in the United States since 1936, when some 20,000 people in Owensboro, Kentucky, watched a young Black man hanged after he was convicted of raping a white woman.

The former student who sued Cornell University alleging she was gang-raped by seven male students at the Chi Phi fraternity house when she was 20 years old has reportedly gone into hiding in her parents’ home after receiving death threats. Lawyers for the woman, known only as “Jane Doe,” described her deteriorating mental state to CNN after an escalating series of violent threats. That included a so-called swatting episode in which heavily armed police officers showed up at her family home, guns drawn, on a bogus tip that people had been killed inside.

Thursday was a national day of action in solidarity with Jane Doe and against impunity for sexual abusers, with high schoolers, college students and advocates holding walkouts, rallies and vigils in at least 40 states. Later in the broadcast, we’ll hear from protesters at Columbia University and Barnard College.

In Arizona, Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia says she was assaulted and raped by two men in August as she attempted to repair a damaged campaign sign late at night. Greene-Placentia believes the attack may have been politically motivated. She reported the alleged assault to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office two weeks later, saying she was hit from behind and knocked unconscious, before waking up to two men sexually assaulting her. She says she does not have a clear memory of the assault, during which she may have suffered a concussion, but she recalls one of the attackers calling her a “Democratic b––.” Greene-Placentia said she decided to come forward to give a voice to other survivors.

President Trump’s newly released financial disclosure shows that he purchased as much as $5 million in SpaceX bonds shortly before he signed a new space policy that could benefit Elon Musk and his company. In total, Trump bought up to $250 million in stocks in August, including an investment of up to $25 million in Meta, the parent company of Facebook. Such stock trading by a sitting president is unprecedented. ABC recently reported Trump made 21,000 securities trades during his first year back in office. By contrast, Joe Biden made a total of 13 trades during his entire term. In related news, on Thursday, Trump honored SpaceX founder Elon Musk and other tech executives at a White House science summit.
