ICE agents fired into a car with a 5-year-old inside — in New York City

It happened around 4 p.m. Thursday in Marble Hill, a residential neighborhood at the top of Manhattan.

ICE agents surrounded a man in his car and opened fire. A 5-year-old boy, believed to be his son, was in the back seat.

The man was hit and rushed to the hospital. The boy was not physically hurt.

A witness told The Intercept that one of the agents on the scene was posing as a construction worker. Another said she watched the man bleeding on the ground, pinned by agents, while they held onto the child until someone came to pick him up.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the agents wore construction vests and masks that hid their faces.

“There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents.”

“There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five-year-old in the car,” he said. “This is a residential neighborhood.”

Mamdani says he called Trump to demand an end to ICE enforcement in the city. Gov. Kathy Hochul says she spoke with the president and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin too, and she’s demanding “full transparency.”

DHS says the man was the target of an arrest. FBI agents were working the scene Thursday night as protesters marched from the street to the hospital.

“We want ICE out of our city,” Mamdani said. “All they do is terrorize the city.”

They came for one man. They fired into a car with a kindergartner in the back seat.

El-Sayed wipes the floor with Mike Rogers in their first debate

Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers met in Grand Rapids Thursday night for the first debate in Michigan’s open Senate race.

Rogers came to talk about El-Sayed. El-Sayed came to talk about gas and groceries.

Rogers tried to make it about where El-Sayed is from: “He says his home is Egypt.”

Rogers took a swipe at his education: “You learned that at Oxford I guess.”

Rogers: “The doctor is not really a doctor.”

El-Sayed: “I have a medical degree from Columbia University. If he has issues with my credentials, he can take it up with them.”

When Rogers plugged a website he made attacking El-Sayed: “You made a website. Good for you.”

Asked how he’d pay for his plans: “Tax billionaire wealth. It’s that simple.”

Then El-Sayed asked Rogers if he’d sold his yachts.

“I never owned a yacht in Florida, brother,” Rogers said.

“Oh really? Where was your yacht? You had two of them.”

At one point, Rogers protested, “I’m not done yet.” The moderator: “You are.”

They meet again October 21. Rogers has 12 days to figure out where he parked his yachts.

Hegseth wants you to watch a firing-squad execution — live

The Pentagon is going to livestream an execution.

Pete Hegseth told right-wing podcaster Jack Posobiec that the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be made public:

“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”

A Pentagon official then confirmed to CNN that it will be livestreamed.

It’s set for December 3 at 2 p.m. Eastern, at Fort Hood. It would be the Army’s first firing-squad execution since World War II. Hegseth called the method a “no-brainer.”

Broadcasting it could run straight into the Army’s own rules on executions.

Trump, for his part, used it as a crowd-pleaser at his Texas rally Wednesday night.

Iran and North Korea are among the few countries that still put executions on public display. The Pentagon apparently wants in.

Trump warns Texas: “We’ll never forgive you”

Trump is getting nervous about Texas.

At his San Antonio rally for Ken Paxton on Wednesday, he told the crowd what would happen if James Talarico wins: “We’ll never forgive you for what you have done if you let that happen.”

Then he admitted he doesn’t know the man’s name.

“I have no idea what the hell his name is. I just know him as Talafreako.”

Texas hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide in more than 30 years. Talarico leads Paxton in the polls anyway.

Trump isn’t threatening Democrats. He’s threatening his own voters, in case they stop listening to him.

Mike Collins says tariffs are working. Ossoff: “Go buy groceries.”

Georgia’s Senate candidates debated Thursday night, and Sen. Jon Ossoff did not hold back.

And that Collins has “sold out Georgia in his pathetic, childlike devotion to Donald Trump.”

Collins tried defending Trump’s tariffs: “The tariffs are making things fair.”

Collins’ problems go beyond one debate. In September, Republicans outspent Democrats on ads in every competitive Senate race in the country except Georgia. The top GOP Senate super PAC left Georgia out of its latest ad buys.

Even Republican donors have stopped watching.

Susan Collins promised to serve two terms. She’s asking for a sixth.

Here’s Susan Collins in 1996, running for the Senate for the first time:

And here’s Susan Collins at a debate Thursday night, 30 years later:

“I do not support term limits. That’s what elections are for.”

Two terms would have ended in 2009. She’s now asking Maine for a sixth.

Elections are for that, she says. Maine has 25 days to take her up on it.

From the moment they took control of the White House, the Trump administration has been on a crime spree like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Now masked ICE agents are firing into cars with children inside.

They all think they’re going to get away with it, too. We need to prove them wrong.

What the algorithm buried:

NOTICE POLLING

Yesterday, we asked: Trump’s DOJ wants 1,000 federal “monitors” at polling places. Should states keep them out?

99% OF YOU SAID KEEP THEM OUT:

  • “The so-called ‘monitors’ would be there to intimidate voters, try to disrupt the polling places, and generally attempt to subvert the election process. All of the states that are targeted should move to keep them out of the polling sites!”

    - [handle]

  • “States run the election, let it stay that way. Is it even possible for us to have a fair election? Project 2025 still looms close by.”

    - [handle]

  • “Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about Trump sending ‘monitors’ to the polls. States should have a plan in place by now. Even if monitors are there, voters shouldn’t be surprised at this point and go and proudly vote anyway. No matter the circumstances, getting out to vote is critical.”

    - [handle]

  • “America has never had, and does NOT need, federal ‘monitors!’”

    - [handle]

  • “Election is by the states not federal.”

    - [handle]

  • “BECAUSE IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.”

    - [handle]

That’s all for today — thank you so much for reading. We’ll see you tomorrow!
