ICE agent shoots man in face during arrest at NYC home.
The statement said an officer with ICE's Fugitive Operations Team"discharged at least one firearm ... when officers were physically attacked while attempting to arrest Gasper Avendando-Hernandez, a twice-removed illegal alien from Mexico with a 2011 assault conviction in New York City."
Avendando-Hernandez had been arrested on Feb. 3 for allegedly possessing a forged instrument, a felony, but he was released from custody before ICE could put a hold on him. "This forced ICE officers to locate him on the streets of New York rather than in the safe confines of a jail," the ICE statement said.Elisha Fieldstadt is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.Daniella Silva is a reporter for NBC News, specializing in immigration and inclusion issues, as well as coverage of Latin America.
