Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

"New Yorkers are outraged tonight. Immigrant communities are terrified. And we are demanding answers.

There is still much we don't know about what happened in Marble Hill. But initial reports indicate ICE agents fired into a vehicle with a five-year-old child inside. Any trained law enforcement officer knows how easily that could have ended in tragedy. By the grace of God, that child appears to have escaped without physical injury.

No child should ever have to experience the terror of gunfire, let alone wonder if they'll make it home alive. As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine how frightening those moments must have been.

New Yorkers have witnessed far too many acts of violence by a rogue federal agency and untrained agents that operate with impunity.

Federal authorities need to provide answers, and they must do so immediately."
