The New York Post, Fox News and Townhall report that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he has no plans to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, citing her record on corruption and crime. The statement came as the Democratic Socialists of America called for her removal and for two elite NYPD units to be disbanded after a shooting by ICE agents in the Bronx. The Post also reports that Governor Kathy Hochul said she supports Mamdani’s decision. The outlets say Mamdani pointed to the lowest recorded numbers of murders and shootings in the city’s history during the 10 months he and Tisch have worked together.

What is contested

Where accounts differ

Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.

Tisch can end NYPD cooperation with ICE and get ICE out of New York City.
The DSA demands that Tisch end NYPD complicity with ICE or be fired; Townhall, citing Gothamist, notes it is unclear how Tisch could remove ICE from the city, since she has no such authority.
