New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will not fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch despite calls from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) following a controversial ICE shooting in the Bronx.
Multiple outlets report that DSA members are demanding Tisch’s removal, citing the shooting as the reason for their pressure campaign. One outlet also says the DSA is calling for changes beyond personnel, including ending the police department’s Strategic Response Group, while another describes the pressure as coming from socialist groups directly targeting the mayor’s response.
Across coverage, the central points are that the DSA is publicly urging leadership action after the incident and that Mamdani is rejecting those demands by backing Tisch. The outlets differ mainly in tone and framing, with some emphasizing the mayor’s stance and others highlighting the extent of socialist demands, but all connect the commissioner’s job security to the Bronx shooting and the DSA campaign that followed.
