Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 3h
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

President Biden should do this because it’s the right thing to do, but a fringe benefit is that doing it may force Putin stooge Trump to undo it before the eyes of the world at a time when undoing it takes a critical negotiating piece off the table in Russia-Ukraine talks—underscoring what Trump is.
