Inside Trump and Mamdani’s 2-Hour Phone Call After the New York City ICE Shooting
The call followed a New York City ICE shooting that injured one man, as Mamdani pushed for ICE to leave the city.
- On Thursday, ICE agents shot and wounded Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old undocumented immigrant, during a Bronx enforcement operation, prompting a two-hour call between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump over custody.
- Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin offered to transfer Belgal to New York Police Department custody, but Mamdani refused, insisting on immediate release and causing negotiations to collapse.
- Homeland Security officials claim Belgal has ties to the Trinitarios gang and a violent criminal history; Mullin called the mayor's push for release "absurd," citing probation violations and weapons charges.
- Mamdani condemned the shooting, accusing ICE of being "rotten to its core" and operating with impunity, while vowing to protect Immigrant New Yorkers despite his pragmatic relationship with Trump.
- This incident tests Mamdani's diplomatic strategy as Mullin links the Bronx shooting to New York City's sanctuary policies; federal agents have since moved Belgal to a secure facility out of state.
