Following a shooting by an agent of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Marble Hill, New York City, on October 8, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded a full and independent investigation into the incident. She also accused Target Corporation of assisting federal immigration officers by allowing ICE to stage operations in its parking lots, a claim the retailer denies. The shooting involved a suspected illegal-migrant gang member, and a five-year-old boy was in the backseat of the car.
