# Mamdani calls for halt to ICE operations after New York shooting

Date: 2026

On 8 October 2026, an ICE officer shot and wounded a 28-year-old man during an attempted arrest in Marble Hill, Manhattan, while a five-year-old child was in the vehicle; the child was physically unharmed. [Mayor Zohran Mamdani](/people/zohran-mamdani) condemned the shooting, said he called [President Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump), and demanded that ICE enforcement actions in New York City stop. DHS said the man was the target of an immigration operation and cited a prior grand-larceny conviction and other arrests. Mamdani's statement is a political and policy response to the shooting, not a finding about the legality of every ICE action. The incident became a concrete test of competing claims: federal officials say at-large enforcement is sometimes necessary, while city officials argue those operations can endanger residents and erode trust.
