ICE agents injure a U.S. citizen in a Bronx takedown of the wrong person
On May 6, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducting an enforcement operation in the Norwood section of the Bronx tackled, handcuffed, and detained Jeury Concepcion, a U.S. citizen who was not the person they were seeking. Bystander cellphone video captured the takedown; Concepcion was left bleeding from a head wound that required several stitches, and agents released him after checking his ID and phone and determining he was not their target. The Department of Homeland Security disputes the "wrongful arrest" characterization, saying officers ran a targeted operation, that Concepcion matched the target's description and became combative, and that he was briefly detained and promptly released.
