Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces pressure from activist Darializa Avila Chevalier and others demanding that he fire Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch over last week’s ICE shooting incident, despite crime rates hitting historic lows under her leadership.

Story summary
Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces pressure from House hopeful Darializa Avila Chevalier and other Democratic Socialist activists to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch over a recent incident involving ICE, where an individual named Oscar Belgal was arrested in Marble Hill. The editorial board argues that this demand is unreasonable, as the NYPD has been instrumental in reducing major crimes like murders and shootings to historic lows.
The criticism stems from last week’s ICE arrest that turned confrontational due to city policies making it difficult for federal agents to enforce laws against criminal illegal immigrants. Critics want Mamdani to disband the Strategic Response Group, which plays a crucial role in maintaining order during demonstrations. However, Mamdani is being cautious and has not taken any decisive action yet, citing ongoing plans rather than immediate change.

We expect Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stand firm against House hopeful Darializa Avila Chevalier and other blockheads now demanding the head of Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who’s doing her job in keeping the city safe.
asserted
who → expect → city
The Democratic Socialist extremists demand the mayor ax the commish over last week’s ICE shooting, as if the NYPD were somehow at fault: They apparently expect cops to arrest feds who are lawfully doing their duty, or at least to get out of the way if lefties want to riot over federal law enforcement.
asserted
lefties → demand → enforcement
This, when major crime has hit historic lows in murders and shootings — progress Mamdani is happy to own and knows he couldn’t get under any police commissioner the left would like.
asserted
left → hit → commissioner
Yes, the mayor is paying lip service to his old anti-cop agenda, insisting that plans are in progress to disband the Strategic Response Group, which is vital to policing demonstrations and handling large-scale chaos.
asserted
which → pay → chaos
He’s also happily denouncing ICE for hauling in suspected gangbanger Oscar Belgal in Marble Hill in an incident that would never have been so confrontational if the city and state didn’t make it so hard for the feds to arrest criminal illegal immigrants in the first place.
asserted
feds → denounce → place
New York’s pro-criminal “sanctuary” policies have needlessly left 16,000 perps linked to 52,000 crimes still walking our streets, reports Homeland Security.
asserted
Security → leave → streets
And the crowd behind the sanctuary madness thinks the NYPD should actively interfere with ICE efforts to re-apprehend these menaces.
asserted
NYPD → think → menaces
Of course, DSA cadres are also enraged that “traitor” Mamdani dared attend an Oct. 7 memorial, admitted he can’t arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and let cops keep the peace during radical protests after Belgal’s apprehension.
asserted
cops → attend → apprehension
The pro-Palestinian radicals at Within Our Lifetime slammed Mamdani’s plan to combat antisemitism, whining it just bankrolls “Zionist propaganda.”
These unhinged antisemites also wax obscene about Tisch being a Jewish woman; the social-media posts get truly vile.
asserted
posts → slam → propaganda
Mamdani’s holding the line — while tossing the left a bone by ordering an audit of the NYPD’s use of force.
asserted
Mamdani → hold → force
That move may come back to haunt him, since he’s installed cop-haters elsewhere in city government who could use this chance to pursue their agenda at the expense of his.
uncertain
who → come → his
It’s easy for Chevalier & Co. to posture: Mamdani is the one voters will punish if crime rises because he takes their advice.
asserted
he → ’ → advice
Heck, the pro-crime steps he has taken (such as nixing plans to hire more cops) are already risky enough; If he tosses many more bones to the extremists, he may yet force Tisch to resign as a matter of conscience — and then the whole city will pay for his allegiance to his base.
uncertain
city → take → base
