Mamdani and top New York Democrats call on parking lot owners to ban ICE
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and top New York Democrats are urging private parking lot owners to block federal immigration officers from using their properties. This call comes after immigration officers shot a man in the city. In a Friday letter, Mamdani and other lawmakers asked lot and garage owners not to make their properties available to ICE for enforcement operations. The plea follows the shooting of 28-year-old Oscar Belgal during an arrest last week.
Federal officers had used a nearby private lot as a staging area. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson criticized the letter, defending the officers' actions.
