Emma Vigeland condemns Tisch's NYPD after Darializa Avila Chevalier is shoved to the ground
Emma VigelandCo-host of The Majority Report, on her X account
Emma Vigeland says Darializa Avila Chevalier was shoved to the ground by Jessica Tisch's NYPD while protesting and calls it infuriating and unacceptable.
“Future Congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier was just shoved to the ground by Jessica Tisch's NYPD while fighting for New Yorkers. Infuriating and unacceptable. The ICE activity in her district doesn't feel like a coincidence, either. She is in the fascists' crosshairs.”

Where this statement fits
Should Zohran Mamdani remove Jessica Tisch after the Marble Hill ICE confrontation?
NYC-DSA said Jessica Tisch must be fired if she cannot stop what it describes as NYPD complicity with ICE. Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier separately called for the police commissioner to step down after the October 8 confrontation in Marble Hill. City Hall spokesperson Dora Pekec said there were no plans to replace Tisch. The dispute is whether Mayor Zohran Mamdani should continue to retain Tisch after critics challenged her public explanation of the shooting and the NYPD's response to protesters.
