""I've been very clear about my views on ICE raids as a whole. I think that they are cruel. I think that they are inhumane. I think that they do not serve any interest of public safety," Mamdani said."
"The mayor said a video showing a police officer throwing a protester to the ground during the mayhem was 'incredibly disturbing' and was under investigation."
"Mamdani denied claims from lefty local pols that there had been operational coordination between ICE and the NYPD, after police officers responded to the protest."
""Rather, they were responding to 911 calls regarding the protest outside of the hospital. And as I've made very clear that our laws leave nothing, no room for interpretation about the fact that our NYPD will not participate in civil immigration enforcement," he said."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned a federal immigration enforcement operation following a violent protest outside a Brooklyn hospital. He described ICE raids as cruel and inhumane, asserting they do not enhance public safety. Nine arrests occurred during the protest supporting Chidozie Wilson Okeke, who was detained by ICE. Mamdani found a video of police violence against a protester disturbing and under investigation. He clarified that the NYPD's response was due to 911 calls and emphasized that the NYPD does not engage in civil immigration enforcement.
