House Democratic candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier is calling for New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to step down after a suspected illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic was shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the city on Thursday.
The shooting, which took place around 4 p.m. in the Marble Hill neighborhood, sparked a large anti-ICE protest, in which Avila Chevalier, a socialist who is all but certain to be a member of Congress next year, participated. Video posted on social media shows Avila Chevalier being pushed by what appears to be a police officer during an altercation between law enforcement and protesters.
