""I've said time and time again, ICE raids are cruel and inhumane. They do nothing to serve in the interest of public safety.""
""ICE's presence in Bushwick is deeply alarming. If you see ICE in your neighborhood, call or text the Hands Off NYC hotline.""
""To our neighbors who quickly mobilized last night, thank you for making it loud and clear that ICE is not welcome in Brooklyn.""
""It's concerning that so many NYPD officers were deployed for what I call a clearly justified gathering by local residents.""
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for their actions during the arrest of Chidozie Wilson Okeke, an illegal immigrant with a criminal record. Mamdani described ICE raids as cruel and ineffective for public safety. Protests erupted in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, leading to the detention of nine demonstrators. Other local politicians, including Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and state Senator Julia Salazar, also expressed their concerns about ICE's presence and supported the demonstrators' actions against the arrest.
