 We demand that Mayor Zohran Mamdani fire NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch and use every power available to him to drive ICE out of New York City,  the incensed group wrote.

 We further demand the mayor abolish the NYPD's Strategic Response Group and Community Response Team.

Socialist congressional candidate Andrew Easton - who is running against democratic incumbent Rep. Ritchie Torres in New York's 15th district - claimed the  real responsibility  falls on Mamdani.

 Fire Tisch and disband the SRG, but the real responsibility lies with Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He must kick every ICE agent out of NYC,  Easton wrote in a post to X Sunday.

 Mamdani was elected with the support of the immigrant rights movement and must be held accountable. He must fully enforce Executive Order 13. 

A spokesperson for Mamdani pointed to statements Hizzoner made on Friday to the New York Times saying Tisch  is the police commissioner, and there are no plans to change that.

 And I want to be very clear that our administration, alongside the commissioner, alongside the PD, will review all of the events of the last 24 hours, including ICE's shooting, the police department's response to that incident and the ensuing protest, the staging of ICE operations in privately owned parking lots, and every action the city can take to protect New Yorkers from ICE's terror,  Mamdani said.
