## Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has threatened legal action against the Trump administration, alleging that federal immigration agents used city-owned parking lots to stage enforcement operations without permission. He says the use is unlawful and could make residents, including immigrant communities, fearful of accessing city property.

In a letter to senior Homeland Security and ICE officials, Mamdani cited reported activity at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx and near Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, close to a city-run preschool and cultural institutions. He called for agents to be told to stop using city lots for enforcement operations and said the city would pursue legal action if it continued. Federal officials had been contacted for comment; Mamdani and more than 100 elected officials had previously urged private parking lot owners not to provide staging space to ICE.
