Story summary

Zohran Mamdani, New York City's mayor, stated on October 14, 2026, that he has no plans to remove Jessica Tisch, who serves as the city’s police commissioner. This comes amid pressure from his Democratic Socialist allies following an ICE shooting incident in the Bronx. Despite calls for her dismissal, Mamdani emphasized Tisch's role in reducing crime rates and tackling corruption within the NYPD.

The controversy began when ICE agents shot a suspected gang member during an arrest operation on October 8. Darializa Avila Chevalier, a House candidate backed by Mamdani, led vocal criticism against Tisch over this incident. Mamdani's team criticized Chevalier for undermining the mayor’s support for Tisch.

Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani's decision to keep Tisch in her position, praising her efforts to reduce crime and combat corruption within the NYPD. This tension highlights the divide between Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) members and Mamdani over policing policies and federal law enforcement presence in New York City.
