At a March news conference on so called “street safety”, NYC Mayor Zoran Mamdani told reporters the city was “making clear that no one is above the law” even as he called ICE “an entity that should be abolished,” denouncing it as “rogue” and “reckless” and saying it “delivers nothing toward the furthering of the cause of public safety.”
Mamdani has also backed “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration, portraying them as a way for New Yorkers who believe “ICE has no place in our city” to show they are part of a growing coalition demanding “decency, dignity and humanity” in immigration policy.
The comments come while on March 8th, 83‑year‑old Air Force veteran Richard Williams was shoved from a platform onto the tracks at Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station and later died of his injuries on March 17, according to police and local reports.
Authorities say the suspect, 34‑year‑old Honduran national Bairon Posada‑Hernandez (also reported as Bairon Hernandez), has been deported from the United States four times, was in the country illegally, and has a lengthy criminal record that includes numerous prior charges.
He was arrested on March 10 and initially charged with attempted murder and assault, but prosecutors in Manhattan later upgraded the case to second‑degree murder after the medical examiner ruled Williams’ death a homicide.
The killing has sparked anger on social media and among Republican lawmakers, who accuse New York’s sanctuary policies and Mamdani’s refusal so far to comment directly on the case of enabling a “serial criminal.”
