An ICE agent fired seven rounds into Oscar Belgal's SUV on Marble Hill Avenue with his 5-year-old son inside; Belgal survived and is now held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Federal agents in plainclothes and construction vests boxed in Belgal's car Thursday afternoon; DHS says he rammed two ICE vehicles and drove at officers, and NYPD video shows an agent smashing his window before the car pulls out of frame [37]. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the NYPD had no role before the shots [1]. Mayor Mamdani spent two hours on the phone with Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and failed to win Belgal's release [8]. Mullin says Mamdani refused an offer to put Belgal in NYPD custody; a source told Documented the city declined because there was no warrant to hold him [11]. Judge Paul Oetken barred his deportation while his habeas petition is heard [1].
“I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.”
“His words are dangerous and incite hostility.”

Manhattan's median market-rate rent climbed to $5,395 in September, up 9 percent in a year, with vacancy stuck near 1.5 percent for a fifth straight month.
Corcoran's September report counts the fewest Manhattan rental listings for a September since 2019, and apartments sat longer as renters took time weighing record prices [60]. Brooklyn's median slipped from August's record but still rose year over year, while the borough logged its busiest September for leases since 2020 [60]. The Rent Guidelines Board's freeze covers rent-stabilized units only; these figures are the open market, where none of that applies. Buyers face the same squeeze: Brooklyn's median sale price set a record this quarter [71].
“With demand continuing to outpace supply, competition remains frustratingly intense across much of the borough.”

The MTA opened public comment through Nov. 13 on reusing its Second Avenue Subway tunnel machines to bore west under 125th Street to Broadway, a $7.55 billion line for 240,000 daily riders.
The MTA released a draft scoping document Thursday, the first step of an environmental review covering only the tunnel tubes, shafts and ventilation; stations, tracks and power get their own review later, amNewYork reports [73]. Finished, the line would add Q stops at Lenox Avenue, St. Nicholas Avenue and Broadway [73]. Leaders of the 125th Street BID and Community Board 10 told MTA Chair Janno Lieber they had been left out [73].
“Given the huge potential to save time and money, it would be irresponsible not to explore options to keep digging westward under 125th Street.”
On a dead-end Stapleton block where P.S. 84's parents and teachers fight residents for every spot, a man finally snapped and clamped a boot on a Jeep, leaving a note: "I seen you looked at the do not park sign and still park there $25 to take the boot off." [41] He removed it with a key when police arrived. His plumber neighbor, who finds his own driveway blocked once or twice a month, sympathized and still had one question: "First of all, why did he even own a boot? That's not something a normal person has." [41]
