It's no mystery why that happened.
Domestic terrorist. Enflamed by anti-ICE rhetoric of the left.

However, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's post about "what occurred" is short on some relevant information.
What occurred outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning was deeply disturbing. I’m relieved no one was seriously injured and that a suspect is in custody. My team is in touch with the NYPD and we will support the federal investigation.

Our administration will continue to ensure that…
Mamdani would like everybody to join him in being totally baffled about where and why this happened.

You want to defund the police.

Yes he does, but don't take our word for it.
No, we want to defund the police. https://t.co/XJgIKNWnFy

Mamdani wants to defund the police and ICE, and now wants us to believe that he's incredibly troubled by what happened today.
