KEY POINTS

  • Mayor Mamdani publicly refuses to fire Commissioner Tisch despite coalition pressure.
  • ICE agent shot Oscar Bergal in Marble Hill on Oct. 8; his 5-year-old son was present.
  • Democratic socialist allies demand disbanding NYPD Strategic Response Group and ending ICE cooperation.
  • Pro-Palestinian activists protested Mamdani at Oct. 7 vigil over Israel policy stance.
  • Mamdani credits Tisch with record-low crime and anti-corruption efforts.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated Tuesday he has "no plans" to fire Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, reaffirming his support during a ceremony honoring 42 fallen officers. He cited her record of rooting out corruption and historically low crime figures during their ten months together.

The pressure intensified after an ICE agent shot and wounded a Dominican man, Oscar Bergal, in Marble Hill on October 8 while his five-year-old son was in the car. Democratic socialist allies, including congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier and 17 other officials, demanded Tisch disband the NYPD's Strategic Response Group and end cooperation with ICE.

“"Jessica Tisch is the police commissioner. I have no plans to change that."”

— Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Pro-Palestinian activists also criticized Mamdani at an October 7 vigil, calling him a "traitor" for not advancing their agenda. Mamdani's retention of Tisch, a self-described "proud Zionist" and Eric Adams appointee, had previously reassured moderate and establishment Jewish groups.
