Mamdani Stands by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch Amid Demands for Her Removal
Mamdani said Tisch will stay on as he praised her record on corruption and lower crime while rejecting demands tied to ICE tensions.
- On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rejected demands from his political base to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, affirming his support for her leadership despite mounting pressure from progressive organizations.
- Mounting criticism from the Democratic Socialists of America intensified last week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot an undocumented man in the Bronx, prompting calls for Tisch's resignation.
- Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier called for the NYPD's Strategic Response Group to be disbanded, accusing Tisch of having "violated the spirit" of the city's sanctuary policies during protest responses.
- Defending his decision, Mamdani cited the city's record low crime rates and Tisch's work "uprooting corruption from the upper echelons of the NYPD," stating, "Jessica Tisch is the Police Commissioner. I have no plans to change that."
- Monday's announcement of a comprehensive use-of-force review aims to address accountability concerns, though police union president Patrick Hendry dismissed the administration's plan as an attempt to appease the mayor's "radical base.
