Mullin said he would "never apologize" after federal agents, wearing construction vests and masks that concealed their faces, fired several rounds at a suspect inside a car with a 5-year-old.

Excerpt from Mamdani's speech: "We know that ICE is rotten to its core. Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known: that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save. I also want to say something on a personal note. I stand here not just as the mayor of our city, but as someone who is proud to be an immigrant in our city. And I know that these kinds of raids, this kind of terrorizing of this city, leave the 3 million immigrants of this city asking if they are safe here, if they belong here, if this, too, can be their home. We will not normalize ICE's viciousness. We will not accept its cruelty. We know, and I've said this directly, whether to the president or to the public, ICE undermines public safety. It makes us less safe. New York City will not stand by while ICE agents shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward time and again. This is an agency that must be abolished. Thank you."]]> https://www.metafilter.com/214781/This-is-an-agency-that-must-be-abolished tag:metafilter.com,2026:site.214781 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:49:35 GMT AlSweigart abolish abolishICE ICE Mamdani NewYork NewYorkCity uspolitics https://www.metafilter.com/214781/This-is-an-agency-that-must-be-abolished/rss Trans-Canada Summer (documentary, 1958, YouTube) - The designated route will be the shortest practical east-west route through each province consistent with the needs of the provinces and the interests of Canada as a whole.
