New York mayor says asking Trump to withdraw ICE after shooting

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called on President Donald Trump to withdraw federal immigration agents from the city following a shooting involving ICE officers. The incident occurred in the Bronx's Marble Hill neighborhood around 4pm on Thursday when a man was shot during an altercation with federal agents. The New York Police Department confirmed the shooting took place during an ICE operation, which was attempting to arrest an individual with a criminal history. The victim, who is alive and hospitalized, had a five-year-old child in the car at the time.

Mamdani, who has a history of criticism towards Trump, demanded that the president end all ICE enforcement actions in New York City. He emphasized that the situation is "unconscionable and incredibly serious" and that he would not tolerate ICE agents terrorizing the community. Tensions between Mamdani and Trump have softened since their interactions, but the mayor remains firm in his stance against ICE's actions.

Several hundred peaceful protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting, later moving to the nearby hospital where the victim was being treated. Some protesters attempted to prevent cars from leaving the hospital, but were moved away by law enforcement. New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for a full and transparent accounting of the incident, emphasizing the need for an investigation into the shooting and the release of body camera footage.

The New York Immigration Coalition's president, Murad Awawdeh, called for an immediate investigation into the shooting, the release of body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE agents who used excessive force. He also demanded an end to ICE's violent activities throughout the city's communities. ICE has been involved in several high-profile shootings this year, adding to the ongoing tensions with local communities.
