ICE agent, while arresting undocumented Brooklyn immigrant, shoots brother of wanted man

A federal ICE agent trying to arrest an undocumented immigrant shot the Brooklyn man’s brother in the face during a wild Thursday morning scuffle, officials and witnesses said.

Two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, armed with a deportation order, were escorting the wanted man from a home on W. 12th St. near Quentin Road in Gravesend about 8:15 a.m. when his brother jumped into the fray. A single shot was fired, with the bullet tearing through the second sibling’s hand before striking him in the cheek, sources said.

During the ensuing chaos, the wounded man ran back inside the home and barricaded himself inside before surrendering a short time later, sources said.

A video viewed by the Daily News shows one of the brothers struggling with the two agents, cursing at them in Spanish, when an agent wearing a light grey hoodie and a hat zaps him with a Taser as he’s propped against a car.
