Mamdani Blasts ICE Shooting of Man in New York City
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man in a residential New York City neighborhood Thursday afternoon during what the agency called a "targeted enforcement operation." New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling the incident an "outrage," said the man was in a vehicle with a 5-year-old child at the time. The shooting has sparked protests and renewed debate over ICE's tactics. The man was taken to a hospital and then into ICE custody. The child was unharmed. Mamdani's condemnation reflects growing tensions between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement. The incident adds to a series of controversial ICE actions that have drawn criticism from civil rights groups and local officials.
