Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other New York Democrats sent a letter to owners of private parking lots on Friday asking them to ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using their properties.

Story summary

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, along with other New York Democrats, has urged private parking lot owners in New York City to block ICE from using their properties as staging areas for enforcement operations. This plea came after an ICE officer shot 28-year-old Dominican immigrant Oscar Belgal during an arrest last week in Manhattan’s Marble Hill neighborhood. The letter, sent on Friday, cites concerns that such uses of private property risk placing owners and their customers at the center of potentially harmful actions against local communities. Some critics, like the New York Post editorial board, argue that this move could be seen as obstruction of justice under federal law.
