NEW YORK, Oct 9 — New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said yesterday he would ask US President Donald Trump to remove federal immigration agents from the city as tensions flared over the latest shooting involving ICE.

The New York Police Department said a man had been shot around 4:00 pm in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of the Bronx during an altercation with federal agents.

Mamdani and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later confirmed that the shooting occurred during an operation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency responsible for Trump’s immigration crackdown.

A DHS spokesman said in a statement that agents were attempting to “to arrest a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny, and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession.”
