The Democratic Socialists of America are demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani fire police Commissioner Jessica Tisch following a controversial shooting by ICE agents in the Bronx last week.
In a scathing online statement, the DSA called on its most high-profile member to get rid of the city’s top cop and disband two elite NYPD units.
“We demand that Mayor Zohran Mamdani fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and use every power available to him to drive ICE out of New York City,” it said. “
They demanded that the city abolish police strategic response and community response teams.
The lefty organization cried foul after federal immigration agents surrounded suspected gangbanger Oscar Belgal in Marble Hill on Thursday and fired multiple shots into his car, wounding him in the neck while his 5-year-old son sat in the back seat.
Tisch said at a press briefing hours later that the NYPD was not involved in the operation, but reported that Belgal, a reputed member of the Trinitarios street gang, had a troubling criminal history that included robbery and drug distribution raps.
DSA Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier called for Tisch to resign the day after the shooting, accusing her of protecting a “militia” of armed ICE thugs.
Chevalier also said during an interview with lefty streamer Hasan Piker that Belgal’s rap sheet “doesn’t even matter,” and accused the NYPD of villainizing the Dominican immigrant.

Danton isn’t revolutionary enough for Robespierre.
“The NYPD was not at the scene when the incident took place when the incident took place,
Not enough free stuff yet?
The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States, with over 100,000 members and chapters in all 50 states.
.....
We are a political and activist organization, not a party; through campus and community-based chapters,
But that is ok. They put out their lies. We put out the truth............................or do we?
I didn’t know communities could demand that Federal officials be banned from doing their job in that community.
Armed with this information I’ll be at the next town council meeting with recommendations about the Internal Revenue Service.
(It’s a joke, IRS. Don’t audit me. I pay all my taxes.)
Commies are always uppity, particularly those who don’t actually live under Communism.
Being a socialist / Communist is ‘cool’ and ‘chic’ to many of these kinds of people. It makes them different, and they stupidly think it means they’re intellectually superior.
Oh, I hope Mamdani does this - show us how it's done, NY City, how defunding and disbanding the police dept. will "bring down crime rates" in New York City.
Proving they aren’t socialists, who normally support strict immigration.
Nice to know the muslim commie mayor is being eaten by his own.
Let’s hope he’s just the appetizer.
Negativity isn’t intelligence.
And chasing God out of the classroom didn’t usher in The Age Of Reason.
Agree.
Mamdani would love to fire the police chief and appoint a Muslim.
“NY City, how defunding and disbanding the police dept. will “bring down crime rates” in New York City.”
There will be no one to report crime to.
Hence, no crime.
See how easy that is?
