New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Thursday that he intends to formally ask President Donald Trump to remove federal immigration agents from New York City. The request follows a violent encounter in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, where a man was shot during an operation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to the New York Police Department, the shooting occurred at approximately 4:00 p.m. during an altercation between the civilian and federal agents. Reports indicate that the man was in a vehicle with a child at the time of the incident. Both the Mayor’s office and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have confirmed that the shooting took place while ICE was performing an official operation.

While the basic facts of the incident—the location, the involvement of federal agents, and the resulting injury—are established, the broader context of the operation remains under investigation. Mayor Mamdani’s call for the removal of federal agents highlights ongoing tensions between local city leadership and federal immigration enforcement authorities regarding the presence and tactics of ICE within the city limits. The DHS has acknowledged the occurrence of the operation, but specific details regarding the escalation that led to the shooting have not been fully reconciled between local officials and federal agencies at this time.
