Mamdani says ICE agents who shot man in New York looked like ‘mass shooters’

“What you can see in that video and the videos that have been released since, people, bystanders outside [are] unsure as to what they were even seeing because in that imagery – it feels like you’re looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who is reportedly representing a federal agency,” Mamdani said. 

Additionally, Mamdani contended that ICE agents “view the law as a suggestion” – alluding to how the New York police department prohibits officers from firing at someone in a vehicle in most circumstances. 

“There is a reason why law enforcement agents are supposed to wear identifiable information and uniforms,” the mayor also said…

Mamdani's framing aligns with the union's strategy of focusing on hospital executives' seven- and eight-figure pay packages throughout its contract campaign. The union launched a website called "NYC Hospital Greed" to highlight the substantial sums going to hospital leaders, including Montefiore CEO Philip Ozuah's $16.4 million compensation package from 2023, and projects like Mount Sinai's $100 million artificial intelligence center...
