Agents surrounded the man and child in his car before firing multiple rounds, according to Zohran Mamdani
A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a man in New York City on Thursday afternoon, according to the city’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
Early reports indicated that agents had surrounded the man and a five-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds, the mayor said in a statement on Thursday evening. The child was physically unharmed, according to Mamdani.
The individual who was shot was conscious and taken to a hospital, the NYPD said in a brief statement.
I wonder what the America my parents grew up in was like? I hear it was nice.
Our America is just descending further and further into fascism, violence, and cruelty.
Fun fact: Nothing that ICE enforces carries a death penalty, nor are any violent offenses part of their mandate. So why do they need guns at all?
Obviously I’m asking this sardonically, since we know the real answer. Just felt like pointing it out.
Conservatives are celebrating this shit. They desperately want us to finish the civil war while they hold the military.
No matter how this turns out, I will never, ever forgive any conservative. Their lives are 100% valueless to me now. It feels insane that I spent decades being so friendly and polite with them.
I devote the remainder of my life to ending as many of theirs as I can (within the bounds of the law, of course). There is no such thing as a good conservative anywhere on earth. They are ALL truly, deeply evil.
This only ends when cops arrest any ice agents they see and charge them with criminal conspiracy.
We can’t keep pretending this is anything else, because Trump’s obviously going to step it up before the election, and then have ICE at polls to keep people away.
NYPD could do the funniest by actually protecting people and regaining some confidence from the public.
The same cops who also kill dozens of innocent people yearly?
Hundreds. Well over 200 unarmed people were killed by cops last year.
They should be upset that ICE is stealing their thing.
The same police who are supplying ICE “agents”? And/or who implicitly agreeing with and ignoring the presence of ICE in their own city? I’m sure this will resolve quickly, then!
-
Tell cops to arrest ICE
-
Arrest cops who refuse with every imaginable charge
-
Count on cops to be cowards
You’re also drastically over estimating how much cops like ICE. Assholes rarely like other assholes showing up, it’s a territory thing.
But like …
What the fuck is your alternative? Just do nothing and hope it works out?
How about you go do that instead of telling people nothing will work so it’s pointless?
I suppose you recognized the sarcasm…? But your response doesn’'t match reality, regardless. Where are all the ICE arrests and/or covictions?
Even in “blue” or “purple” states, not seeing anything close to your claim… unless I’m missing something obvious?

…
I’m saying we need to do something, and your argument is we aren’t doing it?
unless I’m missing something obvious?
I think the issue is being able to put a couple thoughts together, you’re not missing any necessary information, you’re just not putting it together

Why would a conservative arrest a conservative? It can’t happen.
Another brand new account telling people nothing will work so we shouldn’t try anything?
It really is “30 days of midterms” already, isn’t it?
No one is going to fall for this shit again
Look at my comment history. I am telling people to act, and to do MUCH more than just vote. Voting is just the first step. Not erasing the enemy will result in our deaths by genocide. There is simply no peaceful way out of a conservative infestation.
As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to kill the normal people. We are not permitted to discuss how to stop them here on Lemmy, so use your imagination. There is no way out of this that involves this infestation continuing to exist.
It’s time to be proactive in removing the problem. We must get our hands very dirty. We must be extremely aggressive and precise. We must act against our enemy independently and locally, without relying on coordination with others. Be discrete. Be merciless. Be prolific.
Classic vague posting calling others to violent action
It’s only vague because specific calls to action get removed and can result in a ban. Check my extensive comment history to see examples of that.
There are plenty of other ways it could end, but Americans are fucking cowards.
“Nearby”
IN THE BACK SEAT.
Can’t anger the overlords tho. Spineless
This is what I see.
“He was in the area”
ICE FIRING GUNS AT CHILDREN is why I SUPPORT ICE!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!
#prolife
They don’t matter to them then either. They really just want to control women.
Kavinah stops
They support life until the feotus turns out to be gay or brown.
Or poor or trans or liberal or female or…
This game could go forever. Feel free to add your own!
Or disabled or immigrant
Fired 8 rounds next to a child, it’s a fucking miracle that the kid is ok. Now they’ve got the guy under lock and key so he doesn’t tell people how disgusting they are.
that kid is definitely not ok. you don’t experience something like this as a kid and not have it affect the rest of your life
Nope. Now he will likely grow up and show the effects of the trauma and the same people who cheered this will complain because he’s not “normal”.
I know, my heart breaks for their family. None of this is fair.
Did they claim he tried to run them over?
Be sure they will.
They did
That baby had a bottle in their hand. That nipple could have taken my eye out! I kept yelling DROP IT and HANDS UP, but he just kept crying and looking at the other illegal immigrant in the vehicle.
You know it. They’re trying to say he’s in a gang now too.
How about… " Racist police asshole shoots a father in front of his son "… Was it a random kid or was the kid related to the guy who got shot? Does that matter more than the police guy is a racist and not there to defend anything or protect anyone?
An ICE agent murdered who now?
The individual who was shot was conscious and taken to a hospital, the NYPD said in a brief statement.
From the summary.
I think, to deal with these right-wing assholes, we need to bring back an eye for an eye justice.
Whatever they do during Trump’s term will be repaid to them and their communities.
I want to see fascists dragged out of church on Sundays and arrested for the same kinds of technical violations that put mexicans in ICE’s crosshairs. A DUI from 25 years ago? A gram of weed in college? Fuck it, lock them in a concentration camp and deport them to the fucking Sudan.
Don’t even get me started on which members of the administration should expect the Hegseth Firing Squad ending.
Interest to see what mamdani do now
What can he do? Short of declaring civil war?
I do not know. Must be some thing?
