On Saturday night, Harry Styles asked a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd to turn their attention to Oscar Belgal, the 28-year-old man who was shot by ICE in his car in the Bronx, New York City, earlier this week while his 5-year-old son was in the backseat. “I just want us to take a moment to think about Oscar Belgal tonight,” said Styles, guitar in hand before performing “Sign of the Times,” one of the final songs on his Together, Together setlist on Saturday (Oct. 10). Concertgoers captured the moment and uploaded the clip to TikTok , as they’ve done with many of Styles’ interactions with fans throughout the star’s 30-night residency at the Garden. “I want us to just think, [to] remember, to just look after each other,” Styles told the audience in a speech in which he didn’t say “ICE,” but seemingly referenced the situation with ICE — and the administration’s deportation agenda — after saying Belgal’s name. “It is up to us to make the cities that we live in places we want to see,” Styles said. “It’s up to us to make the world a place that we want to see, that we want to give to our children.

His vehicle started to move forward, and he was shot in the neck, according to NYPD commissioner Jessica S. Tisch , who says at least one ICE officer fired seven shots. City police, who are not involved in federal immigration enforcement, arrived at the scene after hearing a report of shots fired and transported Belgal to the hospital. Belgal is now being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, while the child is safe and in the care of a family member. Federal officials described Belgal as an “illegal alien gang member” from the Dominican Republic who refused to get out of his car and “smashed into two government vehicles.” Tisch reported Belgal has had two prior arrests in New York City: “One for robbery in 2023, in which he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny and received five years’ probation, and one for criminal sale of a controlled substance in 2025, which is still pending.” Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a press conference on Thursday, declaring, “What happened today was an outrage.” He stated, “There is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a 5-year-old in the ca
