← An ICE Officer Fires Seven Rounds Into a Car With a 5-Year-Old Inside in Upper Manhattan, Hitting 28-Year-Old Oscar Belgal in the Neck — Zohran Mamdani Says "There Is No Explanation," Kathy Hochul Calls ICE "a Rogue Federal Agency," and Markwayne Mullin Says the Mayor's "Words Are Dangerous and Incite Hostility"
“

[At the scene and a news conference with Commissioner Tisch on Thursday evening:] There is no justification for what we have seen today. … There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a 5-year-old in the car. There is no explanation. … We are right there by a subway, and the pretext of ICE is, in their words, to keep this country safe. … Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. [In a written statement:] 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. … 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.
