Mamdani Calls for ICE to Leave New York After Shooting

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave the city after an ICE agent shot Oscar Bergal during a traffic stop in Marble Hill, an encounter that left Bergal wounded and prompted competing accounts of what happened before the gunfire. Mamdani made the call Sunday, saying the shooting and agents’ appearance in construction vests while carrying long guns raised concerns about public safety and whether officers were clearly identifiable. He said he had raised those concerns with President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Mamdani argued that ICE should not operate in New York City, while also criticizing the agency’s existence. Surveillance footage released by authorities shows an agent approaching Bergal’s car with a gun. Another angle captures Bergal driving away as shots ring out, and nearby pedestrians ducking for cover. The footage does not clearly establish whether the agent identified himself as a federal officer. Separate NYPD body-camera footage shows responding officers encountering an ICE agent in a construction vest holding a long gun.
