Trump DHS boss rips Mamdani for calling ICE ‘rotten to its core,’ says mayor ‘won’t even stand up for his NYPD officers’

Following a non-fatal ICE shooting of a Dominican national in the Bronx, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have exchanged sharp criticisms. The suspect, Oscar Belgal, who federal officials say has a criminal record and gang ties, was shot in the neck after allegedly using his vehicle to strike government cars and move toward officers during an enforcement operation. Mayor Mamdani characterized the shooting as an 'outrage' and called for the abolition of ICE, while Secretary Mullin accused the mayor of 'political theater' and endangering the public by refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
