New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he negotiated with President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin for two hours over the phone to release the man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the city on Thursday.

“Those negotiations were unsuccessful. Just moments ago, ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away,” Mamdani said during a press conference Thursday evening.
