Angry New Yorkers Contradict Mamdani-Hochul Narrative on Shot Illegal Alien Criminal

New Yorkers who actually know serial criminal illegal alien Oscar Belgal, who got himself shot while violently assaulting federal law enforcement with his vehicle, are furious at Democrats for totally mis-framing and justifying Belgal.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) are both in hysterics after the incident, pretending that Belgal — a dangerous gang affiliate whose lengthy rap sheet includes grand larceny and assault — was just peacefully driving through his own city of New York when cruel feds viciously began firing at him and his little boy. Mamdani actually demanded that the Department of Homeland Security release Belgal straight back onto the streets. Hochul is talking as if the fact that the violent criminal has a kid automatically makes him an object of sympathy, and as if DHS wants to gun down illegal alien kids.

Migdalia Martinez lost her 12-year-old son Jacob Freytas when he accidentally rode his bike into gang crossfire, but there was no mass Democrat campaign of empathy for him. “I don’t consider [Belgal] a New Yorker,” Martinez exclaimed when talking with the Post. “The only thing I do consider him as is trash, nothing else but trash. And I don’t consider New York, my home, as trash.” She slammed Mamdani for calling Belgal a New Yorker: “The mayor is wrong in many ways — that’s definitely one.” Martinez’s son likely died due to Trinitarios gang violence, and Belgal is tied to that same gang. Mamdani is on the side of the vicious gang criminal.

Bruce Blakeman, the Republican running for New York governor, excoriated Hochul for also defending Belgal and promised a cheering crowd that he hopes to end New York’s status as a sanctuary state.

🚨Bruce Blakeman, challenging Kathy Hochul for New York Governor, just pledged that on Day 1 January 1, 2027 he will sign an executive order declaring New York is NO LONGER a sanctuary state. Vote for Bruce to save New York. https://t.co/NDxCrcP5lt— J (@JayTC53) October 9, 2026

Belgal is no New Yorker, and it is such an insult to all the victims of illegal alien crime and victims of criminals whom Democrats released to call him that.
