New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, speaking at a press briefing, says the agents wore construction vests and face-concealing masks, with "no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents," as school let out. He says he spent two hours on the phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen trying to secure the release of the man ICE agents shot, the talks failed, and ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and took him away.

They wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces. There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents. School had just gotten out. The street was crowded with families and children. When ICE agents opened fire, a five -year -old child, a five -year -old child, was in the back seat of the car. Thank God that child is physically unharmed. For the past two hours I have been on the phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullen negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful. Just moments ago ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away. Let me say this plainly, what happened today was an outrage.
