Mamdani told MS NOW on Sunday that he and New York City Police Department officials would “review the entire 24-hour period.”
The investigation will include the ICE shooting, the police response and ensuing protests, and ICE’s use of a privately owned parking lot as a staging area, Mamdani said. It will also address what steps the city can take “to make New Yorkers safe.”
Mamdani said late Thursday he had urged president Donald Trump to halt all ICE enforcement actions in the city after spending two hours on the telephone with the president and department of homeland security secretary Markwayne Mullin in an unsuccessful effort to secure the man’s release. He said on MS NOW that he told Trump and Mullin that ICE operations were “making the city less safe.”
