New York mayor will ask Trump to withdraw ICE after shooting
On Thursday afternoon, federal immigration agents shot a man in his car while a 5-year-old was present. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that he plans on calling Trump and demanding an end to all ICE operations in New York City. ICE has been involved in several high-profile shootings this year, including the killing of two US citizens in Minneapolis.

The Fort Hood Shooting was horrific. At least 4 dead. At least 14 injured. But I bet you've never heard the name of Army Specialist Ivan Lopez, who was responsible for the 2014 Fort Hood shooting. Because you understand he reps only himself, but somehow Nidal Malik Hasan speaks for 'all Muslims.'

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”
