Mamdani questioned how ICE was keeping anyone safe if they were wearing construction vests and masks. In a separate post, he had written “This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. 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.”
