A DHS spokesperson said Belgal was shot and injured during a targeted enforcement operation in the Bronx.

The spokesperson called him  a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic  with ties to the Trinitarios gang and a history of arrests in the U.S., including for assault, robbery, drug possession, weapons possession and grand larceny.

Belgal was arrested by the NYPD in December 2023, then released as a result of  reckless Democrat sanctuary policies,  the spokesperson added.
