CITYWIDE – MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI on Tuesday reiterated campaign calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an interview on ABC’s “The View,” saying the agency is acting callously and lawlessly.
“We’re seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some sort of immigration law, but instead, what it is doing is terrorizing people no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, and no matter the facts of the case,” Mamadani said. “And I’m tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home and dragged out of their life. What we need to see is humanity.”
The mayor also vowed to push back against President Donald Trump’s stated plans to cut funding for sanctuary cities, saying that New York’s sanctuary policies, which discourage some forms of cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, contribute to public safety.
