A mayor has demanded the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a shooting incident during a targeted operation in New York City, where a federal agent opened fire, wounding an individual. The call comes amid growing tensions over immigration enforcement tactics and their impact on local communities. Authorities have not yet provided full details on the circumstances leading to the shooting or the condition of the wounded person. Critics of ICE operations have cited similar cases as evidence of excessive force and systemic issues within federal immigration enforcement.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling to abolish ICE after federal immigration agents shot and wounded 28-year-old Oscar Belgal during a targeted operation in Marble Hill.
