10月8日，移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工在曼哈顿、在一名5岁男童面前枪击奥斯卡·贝尔加尔，这起事件将许多纽约人心中萦绕的一个问题摆到了台面上：当ICE在该市践踏“法治”时，纽约市警察局（NYPD）会怎么做？而拥有任免NYPD局长权力的市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼将如何回应？
The October 8 shooting of Oscar Belgal by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in front of his 5-year-old son in Manhattan forced into the open a question that had been on many New Yorkers’ minds: What would the New York Police Department do when ICE broke the “rule of law” in the city, and how would Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the person who has the power to hire and fire the NYPD commissioner, respond?
枪击案发生后不久，马姆达尼以适度的愤慨回应了此事，宣布ICE“烂透了”，并呼吁废除该部门。他的挫败感显而易见，但对于该市对此事的应对，他表达得却少得多。关于本市警方的介入，他没有任何实质性的表态，尽管NYPD警员赶到现场时，发现身份不明的ICE特工持枪、穿便衣、戴伪装和面具，疑似违反了要求亮明身份的联邦法律。
Shortly after the shooting, Mamdani addressed the incident with an appropriate amount of outrage, declaring ICE “rotten to its core,” and calling for the department to be abolished. His frustration was visible, but he was much less expressive when it came to his appraisal of the city’s response to the situation. He had nothing substantive to discuss with respect to his police department’s involvement, despite NYPD officers arriving on the scene only to find unidentified ICE agents holding guns, wearing plain clothes and disguises and masks, in apparent violation of federal laws requiring identification. (A recently passed New York state law prohibiting federal agents from wearing masks and other face coverings was temporarily blocked by a judge.)
（一项最近通过的、禁止联邦特工佩戴面具及其他面部遮盖物的纽约州法律，已被法官暂时叫停。）NYPD警员实施了急救，并将贝尔加尔送往纽约长老会艾伦医院。
NYPD officers applied first aid and transported Belgal to NewYork-Presbyterian Allen hospital.
据众多目击者证词和广泛流传的视频显示，NYPD警员似乎通过强力协助维持秩序来帮助ICE特工——一度，一名NYPD警员将国会候选人达里亚利扎·阿维拉·舍瓦利耶推倒在地，马姆达尼曾亲自为其助选。随后，NYPD为联邦特工清出一条路，将贝尔加尔从医院迅速带往市中心的一处联邦拘留设施。
According to many eyewitness accounts and widely circulated video, members of the NYPD appeared to assist ICE agents by forcefully helping with crowd control — at one point, an NYPD officer shoved congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, whom Mamdani personally stumped for, to the ground. Later, NYPD cleared a path for federal agents to whisk Belgal away from the hospital to a federal detention facility downtown.
枪击案发生后，美国民主社会主义者组织、数名议员以及阿维拉·舍瓦利耶均呼吁马姆达尼解雇纽约市警察局局长杰西卡·蒂施，并要求市长兑现竞选承诺，解散纽约市警方臭名昭著的战略应变组。马姆达尼多次拒绝解雇蒂施，但表示正在审查枪击案前后24小时内的情况。当被直接问及阿维拉·舍瓦利耶被摔倒在地一事时，市长称其不可接受，并表示：“这不是我会试图为之辩护的事。”
After the shooting, the Democratic Socialists of America, several legislators, and Avila Chevalier all called on Mamdani to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and demanded the mayor uphold his campaign pledge to disband the NYPD’s infamous Strategic Response Group. Mamdani repeatedly refused to fire Tisch but said he was reviewing the 24-hour period around the shooting. When asked directly about Avila Chevalier being thrown to the ground, the mayor called it unacceptable, saying, “That is not something I will look to justify.”
他提醒纽约市民对改革纽约市警方的努力保持耐心，下令审查该部门的武力使用政策，并为监察长办公室增加了拨款。但他再次力挺局长，援引“她铲除纽约市警方高层腐败、同时降低全市犯罪率的记录”。值得注意的是，马姆达尼在所有关于纽约市警方或蒂施的公开讲话中，均未公开提及纽约市警方警员在贝尔加尔事件中与联邦移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工的关系。
He reminded New Yorkers to be patient with efforts to reform the NYPD, ordered a review of the department’s use-of-force policies, and added funding for the inspector general’s office. But once again, he stood by his commissioner, citing “her record of uprooting corruption from the upper echelons of the NYPD while lowering crime across our city.”Noticeably absent from any of Mamdani’s public remarks about the NYPD or Tisch was any public acknowledgment of the NYPD officers in relation to ICE agents during the Belgal incident.
联邦和城市执法部门处于相似的空间，但彼此从未真正互动。马姆达尼未提及联邦特工的行动如何给纽约市警方施加压力——作为警察的主要职能——迫使其在冲突时刻充当联络角色。
Federal and city law enforcement occupy similar spaces but never really interact with each other. Mamdani made no mention of the ways in which the actions of federal agents put pressure on the NYPD as — the primary function of police — to liaise in moments of conflict.
纽约市警方通常乐于扮演这一角色，这也是该部门占用纽约市大量预算、并排斥任何将资金转向其他可能减少警方调解需求的服务的尝试的原因。联邦移民与海关执法局迫使地方警方在政策和实践层面做出选择，决定如何应对暴力的（往往是非法的）移民执法行动。
The NYPD typically relishes this role, which is why the department consumes so much of New York’s budget and shuns any attempts to redirect funds to other services that might reduce the need for police mediation to begin with. ICE forces local police to make choices in policy and in practice about how to deal with violent (often illegal) immigration operations.
如果纽约市警方自视为“蓝色细线”，那么纽约市警力和马姆达尼认为这些联邦外部煽动者站在秩序与混乱的哪一边？
If the NYPD believes itself to be the thin blue line, on which side of order and chaos do New York’s force and Mamdani believe these federal outside agitators to be?
这种对困境的忽视——或称回避，视角不同，称呼也不同——显得颇为奇怪，毕竟马姆达尼向来敢于就哪怕最具争议的议题，以道德清晰度发声，并直面问题。考虑到他善于将共同经历编织在一起、将纽约市民的亲身经历置于核心位置，这种做法也显得格格不入。
This omission — or evasion, depending on how you look at it — of this predicament is strange considering Mamdani’s willingness to speak with moral clarity about even the most contentious issues and confront them head-on. It’s also bizarre considering his penchant for weaving shared experiences together and for putting the lived experiences of New Yorkers front and center.
在竞选途中，马姆达尼最吸引人的特质之一，便是他能说到普通居民实际面临的问题上。这不仅因为他拥有百年难遇的演说才华；候选人佐赫兰之所以能做到这一点，是因为作为一名自豪的民主社会主义者，他的政治主张中内嵌着一种分析——对生活物质条件的解释。他的言辞似乎与现实演变的速度及其对普通纽约市民生活的冲击保持同步，至少没有像建制派民主党人那样与之背道而驰。
On the campaign trail, one of Mamdani’s most alluring traits was his ability to speak to the actual problems of everyday residents. It wasn’t just because he possessed once-in-a-generation oratory skills; candidate Zohran achieved this because, as a proud democratic socialist, there was an analysis — an explanation of the material conditions of life — baked into his politics. His rhetoric seemed in line with, or at least not alienated from (see: establishment Democrats), how fast reality was moving and how it was impacting the lives of everyday New Yorkers.
然而，在应对美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的问题上，马姆达尼市长的言辞与政策并不总是一致，这引发了外界对他究竟是何种市长的质疑。一方面，他展现出了敢于公开反对特朗普法西斯式、非人道移民行动的姿态；另一方面，他的实际行动力度却未能与言辞相匹配。许多人指出，马姆达尼似乎在搞现实政治，以推动其广泛的进步议程通过。要在推动纽约政府庞大机器运转的同时，保持对自身如何推进事务的透明度，当然谈何容易。但这正是他当选要做的事。
When it comes to ICE, however, Mayor Mamdani’s rhetoric and policies haven’t always aligned, which has opened him up to questions about the kind of mayor he really is. On one hand, he has shown that he will speak out against Trump’s fascist and inhumane immigration efforts. On the other hand, Mamdani hasn’t moved with the same level of force as his words. Many have pointed out that Mamdani seems to be engaging in realpolitik in an effort to get his extensive progressive agenda passed. It’s certainly not easy to bring the machine of the New York government up to speed while also being transparent about the ways in which he is moving the needle. But that’s exactly what he was elected to do.
即使马姆达尼入主市府后毫无建树，仅仅重蹈前任覆辙——甚至极其腐败、极力讨好警方、像前任埃里克·亚当斯那样甘愿配合特朗普政府——他或许还能避开当下的清算时刻。但他的政府在移民问题上的真诚作为，注定会让纽约市警方（NYPD）与美国移民海关执法局（ICE）走向冲突。
Had Mamdani got into office and done nothing different than previous mayors — or even been exceptionally corrupt, pro-cop, and willing to help the Trump administration like predecessor Eric Adams — he might have been able to avoid his current moment of reckoning. But his administration’s genuine efforts on immigration set into motion a future where the NYPD and ICE would come into conflict.
马姆达尼就任市长后的首要举措之一，就是全面梳理该市众多机构执行现有“庇护城市”法律的情况。2026年2月，他签署了第13号行政令——这是他签署的首个涉及移民的重要行政令——设立市长移民事务办公室，并制定基准指导原则，明确禁止ICE及其他非本地执法机构使用市属车库和空地。至关重要的是，第13号行政令还要求对包括纽约市警方在内的若干机构进行审计，以审查其与移民相关的政策。
One of Mamdani’s first moves as mayor was to take stock of how the city’s many agencies were upholding existing sanctuary city laws. In February 2026, he signed Executive Order 13, his first major order pertaining to immigration, to create the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs and establish baseline guidance, such as explicitly prohibiting ICE and other non-local law enforcement agencies from using city-owned garages and vacant lots. Crucially, EO 13 also required an audit of several agencies, including NYPD, to review their immigration-related policies.
纽约市警局（NYPD）在处理移民执法事务方面已有不良记录。在亚当斯政府时期，有记录在案的案例显示，纽约市警局曾协助或与移民执法部门合作，有时符合纽约市警局政策，有时则不然。时任纽约市调查局局长乔斯琳·斯特劳伯于2025年12月发布的一份报告发现，至少发生过一起事件，其中“一名警官违反地方法律，在联邦民事移民法律执行方面向联邦当局提供协助”，此外还有证据表明，纽约市警局“未完全遵守关于联邦民事移民执法协助请求的文档记录和报告要求”。
NYPD already has a problematic history dealing with immigration enforcement. During the Adams administration, there were documented cases where the NYPD assisted or collaborated with immigration enforcement, sometimes in accordance with NYPD policies. A December 2025 report by Jocelyn Strauber, then-commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation, found at least one incident in which “an officer violated local law by providing assistance to federal authorities in connection with enforcement of the federal civil immigration law,” as well as evidence that NYPD did “not fully comply with documentation and reporting requirements concerning requests for assistance with federal civil immigration enforcement.”
报告还发现，纽约市警局存在许多政策和做法，增加了“为民事移民执法目的而不当共享信息或向联邦当局提供协助的风险”。马姆达尼的副市长于5月22日发布的后续审计报告，在上述发现的基础上，建议纽约市警局（及其他市政府机构）更新其报告要求。但该审计也留下许多悬而未决的问题，众多法律倡导者对此作证，涉及纽约市警局的协议和政策在哪些方面仍为与美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）潜在合作留有余地。
The report also found that there were numerous examples of NYPD policies and practices that elevated the “risk of improper information sharing or assistance to federal authorities for purposes of civil immigration enforcement.”The resulting audit, which was released on May 22 by Mamdani’s deputy mayor, built on those findings and recommended NYPD (and other city agencies) update its reporting requirements. But the audit also left a lot of open questions, which numerous legal advocates attested to, about areas in which NYPD protocols and policies keep avenues open to potentially collaborate with ICE.
审计发现，纽约市警局“未被要求遵守高标准的问责或审查机制以防止串通”，在记录潜在违反部门政策的行为方面存在重大“漏洞”。城市及其市长可采取何种措施确保合规，这一问题也仍未得到解答。
The NYPD was “not being held to a high standard of accountability or scrutiny for collusion,” the audit found, and there were significant “gaps” in documenting potential violations of department policies. The question of what the city and its mayor could do to ensure compliance also remained unanswered.
庇护法禁止使用城市资源进行移民执法，而纽约市警方（NYPD）于2025年1月发布的一份内部备忘录，明确禁止警官协助封锁街道以配合移民执法，这似乎进一步巩固了这一指令。但几起涉及纽约市警方的高调事件，考验了该部门对庇护法的遵守情况。2025年10月，在马姆达尼当选之前，唐人街发生的一起移民突袭行动中，目击者和网络流传的视频显示，纽约市警方警官设立警戒线，为联邦执法人员开辟通道。
Sanctuary laws prohibit using city resources for immigration enforcement, and a January 2025 NYPD internal memo specifically barring officers from facilitating street closures to enable immigration enforcement seemed to solidify that directive. But several high-profile incidents involving the NYPD have tested the department’s compliance with sanctuary laws. In October 2025, before Mamdani was elected, during an immigration raid in Chinatown, eyewitnesses and viral videos showed NYPD officers establishing perimeters to create a path for federal law enforcement agents.
另一起事件发生在2026年5月，据报道，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）“拖拽”一名尼日利亚移民走出布鲁克林一家医院，执法人员在逮捕过程中使用了武力；纽约市警方警官粗暴对待并逮捕了多名抗议者，并清理路面杂物，以便ICE冲破人群、带着抓捕目标逃离现场。
In another instance in May 2026, ICE reportedly “dragged” a Nigerian immigrant out of a Brooklyn hospital after agents used force in his arrest; NYPD officers brutalized and arrested numerous protesters and cleared debris from the road to enable ICE to escape the crowds and abscond with their target.
这两起事件都发生在蒂施任内，她一再坚称该部门遵守所有庇护法。当被问及布鲁克林事件时，马姆达尼坚称纽约市警方是回应关于抗议活动的911报警，而非协助ICE。“我们的法律没有留下任何、绝无任何解释空间，事实是我们的纽约市警方不会参与民事移民执法，”他说。纽约市警方告诉《卫报》美国版：“警官抵达现场后，观察到大量人员行为扰乱秩序、阻碍车辆通行，并堵塞了威科夫高地医疗中心的急诊出入口。”
Both of these incidents happened under the watch of Tisch, who has insisted again and again that the department follows all sanctuary laws. When asked about the Brooklyn incident, Mamdani insisted NYPD was responding to 911 calls about the protest, not helping ICE. “Our laws leave nothing, no room for interpretation about the fact that our NYPD will not participate in civil immigration enforcement,” he said. NYPD told the Guardian US: “Upon arrival, officers observed numerous individuals acting in a disorderly manner, obstructing vehicular traffic, and blocking emergency entrances and exits at Wyckoff Heights medical center.”
当纽约市警方抵达ICE突袭现场或针对移民绑架的抗议现场时，警官应该怎么做？在这一点上，纽约市警方和马姆达尼都几乎没有提供明确说明。但对于生活在过度执法社区、或密切关注警方活动及行为的人来说，10月8日的情况经不起推敲。
When the NYPD arrives at an ICE raid or at a protest against an immigration abduction, what are officers supposed to do? On this point, NYPD and Mamdani have offered little clarity. But October 8 doesn’t pass the smell test for anyone who lives in overpoliced neighborhoods or closely observes the activity of police and their behavior.
纽约市警方警员当时正在附近处理一起无关报警，听到枪声后赶到现场。他们遇到数名身着各异服装的男子，其中包括身穿建筑工地式马甲、佩戴口罩的人，以及至少一名携带长枪者，这一点警方公布的警员执法记录仪画面证实。纽约市警方的官方说法未提及美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）。没有更多见解或部门规程解释，能说明警员在该情形下应如何行动。
NYPD officers were responding to an unrelated call nearby when they heard the report of shots fired. When they arrived, they encountered several men in various forms of attire, including some in construction-style vests, face masks, and at least one carrying a long gun, which officer body camera footage released by the Department confirms. The official account of the NYPD’s interaction offers no mention of ICE. There are no additional insights or explanations of department protocol that might shed light on how officers are supposed to act given the circumstances.
奇怪的是，警员在遇到数名蒙面持枪男子时的想法，以及ICE特工与警方之间的对话，也是个谜。目前只知道，警方最终同意由纽约市警将贝尔加尔安置车内、实施救助并送往医院。
Curiously, what those officers thought when they encountered several masked men with guns, and the conversations that took place between the ICE agents and the police, is a mystery, too. All we know is that officers agreed at some point that the NYPD would place Belgal in a vehicle, apply aid, and take him to the hospital.
事发当晚以来，市长马姆达尼坚定谴责ICE及其行动。“我们不会将ICE的暴行常态化，”他说，呼吁废除该机构。这只是他能说的最低限度，以让纽约人放心，他理解他们早已深感利害攸关。奥斯卡·贝尔加尔遭枪击及随后受到的非人道待遇——其律师称贝尔加尔仍被单独监禁，颈部留有子弹——提醒人们，ICE在纽约市的行动常态化已在稳步推进。
Since that evening, Mayor Mamdani has stood firm in his condemnation of ICE and their operations. “We will not normalize ICE’s viciousness,” he said, calling for the agency to be abolished. That’s the least he could say to reassure New Yorkers he understands the stakes they feel in their bones already. The shooting of Oscar Belgal and his subsequent inhumane treatment — his lawyers say Belgal is still in solitary confinement with a bullet in his neck — is a reminder of how normalizing ICE operations in New York City is already well underway.
还有更多低调的ICE现身和绑架事件，这与美国其他地区的情况相呼应。马姆达尼将采取何种行动，使城市的回应符合纽约人当下的需求，仍是一个悬而未决的问题，其中包括厘清纽约市警在该市持续对抗特朗普政府盖世太保式战术中的角色。
There have been more lower-profile ICE sightings and kidnappings, which echoes what has been the case in other parts of the country. What Mamdani will do to bring the city’s response into alignment with the needs of New Yorkers in this moment still remains an open question, including clarifying the NYPD’s role in the city’s ongoing fight against the Trump administration’s gestapo tactics.
如果本月的事件给马姆达尼上了一课，那就是：清晰阐述何为正义是一份全职工作，需要坚定不移地直面现实。仅在某一问题上——将种族灭绝称为种族灭绝、公开抨击国际足联迎合富裕精英、或嘲讽贫民窟房东的非人做法——是不够的；在纽约人亲眼目睹的街头现实面前，也必须站稳脚跟。
If this month’s incident offered a lesson for Mamdani, it is that clearly articulating what is right is a full-time job that requires an unwavering willingness to confront reality. It’s not enough to on one issue — calling a genocide by its name, publicly dragging FIFA for pandering to wealthy elites, or deriding the inhumane practices of slumlords — but not stand on business when it comes to the reality that New Yorkers are seeing on their own streets.
有时，一次真正的地震事件能揭示出该做什么，以及那些此前可能未被充分认识到的替代方案。希望并未丧失。马姆达尼仍有时间更新他的分析。但在这一时刻，市长必须做出选择：重申对真理的承诺，还是让真理的缺位来定义自己。
Sometimes, an actual seismic event can reveal what needs to be done and that there are alternatives that may not have been fully realized before. Hope isn’t lost. There is still time for Mamdani to update his analysis. But in this moment, the mayor must make a choice: renew his commitment to the truth, or be defined by its absence.
