History

Historical Context

In April 1992, the acquittal of four LAPD officers in the Rodney King case sparked Los Angeles riots that caused over $1 billion in damage, after Mayor Tom Bradley’s request for National Guard aid was delayed. On Oct 8 2026, ICE agents shot 28-year-old Dominican Juan Martínez in Bronx’s Marble Hill, prompting Mayor Zohran Mamdani to demand ICE’s withdrawal and a probe, echoing 1992 clash.
