Mamdani Grandstands Over ICE Shooting Gangbanger ‘Criminal Illegal’ Migrant as Violent Protests Erupt in Bronx
9th October 2026
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he tried to negotiate with President Trump to release the “criminal illegal alien” and alleged gang member who was shot by ICE Thursday in the Bronx as he called for the abolishment of the federal agency.
“Around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” a furious Mamdani told reporters at the late-night press conference near the scene of a rowdy anti-ICE protest in the borough.
“For the past two hours, I’ve been on the phone with President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Mullin negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful,” Hizzoner said.
My, what a surprise.
