Darializa Avila Chevalier maintains her call for NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to resign following the October 8 shooting of Oscar Belgal by ICE agents, despite a growing rift with Mayor Zohran Mamdani. While Chevalier claims a strong relationship with the mayor, his administration views her actions as undermining his authority.

Mamdani Defends Tisch as Socialist Allies Demand Ouster Over ICE Shooting Fallout

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has firmly rejected calls to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, despite intense pressure from his own political base following the October 8 shooting of Oscar Belgal by ICE agents in the Bronx. While the Democratic Socialists of America and endorsed candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier demand Tisch’s removal and the disbanding of the Strategic Response Group, Mamdani stands by her, citing historic crime reductions. The rift has created a visible schism within the mayor’s progressive coalition, with City Hall sources describing Chevalier’s actions as a direct undermining of the administration.

DSA Targets Tisch, Not Mamdani, Amid ICE Shooting Fallout

Following the October 8 shooting of Oscar Belgal by ICE agents in the Bronx, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members are pressuring NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to be fired, while largely sparing Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani has defended Tisch, noting the NYPD was not involved in the initial shooting, and has ordered a use-of-force review. The incident has exposed a rift within the mayor's base, with some DSA members criticizing the lack of action against the mayor, who holds the power to disband the Strategic Response Group (SRG). Meanwhile, Belgal remains in federal custody with a bullet lodged in his neck, and his five-year-old son has stopped speaking due to trauma.

DSA Demands Tisch's Firing After ICE Shooting, Testing Mamdani's Socialist Base

The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is demanding that Mayor Zohran Mamdani fire Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch following a violent ICE shooting in the Bronx. The incident, which occurred on October 8, involved ICE agents shooting Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old man with a prior criminal record, while his five-year-old son was in the car. The DSA has called for the disbanding of the NYPD's Strategic Response Group and the expulsion of ICE from the city. Mamdani has refused to fire Tisch, stating that the NYPD was not involved in the initial shooting, though he has promised a review of the 24-hour period following the incident. This marks the first major public clash between the mayor and the DSA, a group that was instrumental in his election victory.

NYC Socialist Candidate Dismisses ICE Shooting Suspect’s Criminal Record, Demands Agency Abolition

Democratic congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier stated that the violent criminal history of Oscar Belgal, a man shot by ICE agents in the Bronx, is irrelevant. She accused NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch of villainizing Belgal and called for the abolition of ICE. Belgal, a 28-year-old undocumented man with prior convictions for armed robbery and drug sales, was wounded in the neck on October 8 while driving with his five-year-old son. The incident sparked massive protests in New York City, where Chevalier was physically thrown to the ground by police. While Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the shooting, he has not yet dismissed Tisch or disbanded the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, a move Chevalier is demanding.
