New York. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has asked President Donald Trump to shut down US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the city.
This demand was made after an incident in which an ICE agent shot a man in the Bronx. After this incident, there was a clash between anti-ICE protesters and New York Police outside a hospital. The injured person is undergoing treatment in the hospital.
Mayor Mamdani wrote on Twitter on Thursday (local time), “This afternoon an ICE agent shot a New York resident in a residential area of Marble Hill.
Initial reports indicate that agents surrounded him and a five-year-old child in his car and then fired several rounds. This is a serious situation. I have called the President.
When we speak, I will demand that he stop all ICE operations in our city. I can’t watch all this silently.
Our thoughts tonight are with the injured New Yorker and his family. We are praying for his recovery.
