NYC Mayor Supports Abolishing ICE Amid Controversy Over Immigration Enforcement

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has publicly supported abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, criticizing its enforcement tactics amid rising protests following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer. President Donald Trump defended ICE's actions, acknowledging occasional mistakes but emphasizing the need for strict immigration enforcement. The issue has become politically contentious ahead of U.S. midterm elections, with both parties facing challenges over immigration policies and public opinion divided on ICE's role. Detention numbers and related deaths have surged, intensifying scrutiny of ICE operations.
