Following a non-fatal shooting by ICE agents of Oscar Belgal in the Bronx, the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has demanded that Mayor Zohran Mamdani fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. The shooting, which occurred while Belgal's five-year-old son was present, has intensified progressive pressure on Mamdani to fulfill campaign promises such as disbanding the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG). While the NYPD stated they were not involved in the ICE operation, Mamdani has announced a comprehensive review of the department's use-of-force policies and police response to the incident and subsequent protests, though he has currently retained Commissioner Tisch in her role.
