New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounced the “horrific” crisis playing out in Minnesota while vowing to do “everything in my power” to ensure New York City is not the target of similar immigration crackdowns by President Donald Trump’s administration.
During an interview on Sunday’s episode of “This Week” that was conducted before Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti was killed by U.S. Border Patrol agents, Mamdani accused the White House of gaslighting Americans about why an immigration enforcement officer fatally shot another person earlier this month.
Federal officials have accused that victim, Renée Good, of attempting to ram Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with her vehicle in an act of domestic terrorism, despite extensive video evidence and witness accounts appearing to show Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel were in no imminent danger.
“I think that there are too many Americans who are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their own ears, not believe their own realities,” Mamdani told ABC’s Jonathan Karl. “And people want to hear the truth.
“They want to see the truth. And that’s why I described that as a murder because there’s no other way to watch that video and come to a different conclusion.”
