Zohran Mamdani setting up NYC for violence with resistance to immigration enforcement:
If ICE or other immigration agents go out of bounds, the place to fight them is the courts, not the streets —and New York pols from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on down are courting chaos if they play the issue otherwise.
Consider City Councilman Shaun Abreu’s smear Wednesday, posting an inflammatory video that he claimed showed Homeland Security officers pulling a migrant out of an SUV in Washington Heights without due process.
Abreu blasted the arrest as “deeply disturbing” and part of a “despicable pattern of intimidation,” huffing that agencies “carrying out [President Donald] Trump’s agenda of detaining people without due process have no place in our city.”
In reality, the arrestee was Alpha Amadou Diallo, who hopped the border in 2021 and received full due process before a Biden-era immigration judge ordered his removal last year.
“Abreu should stop fearmongering and smearing our brave law-enforcement, who are facing 1000% increase in assaults against them and a nearly 8000% increase in death threats,” warned Homeland Security Investigations Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
Another incident Wednesday raised other fears: When NYPD cops saw men chasing someone, they raced to investigate and intervene if necessary — only to quickly recognize fellow law-enforcers (cops usually know cops, even in plainclothes) and help stop the runner.
Though painted in some initial accounts as feds-vs.-police, the incident actually highlighted the importance of cooperation between cops and ICE — something New York perversely prohibits.
Yet Mamdani has promised to resist removals of even of violent-criminal illegal immigrants; he calls ICE a “rogue” agency and vows to stop it from enforcing the law with deportations, using use his power as mayor “to reject Donald Trump’s fascism.” --->READ MORE HERE
From Giuliani’s Golden Age to Mamdani’s Sanctuary Gangland:
New Yorkers woke up on Nov. 5 to a historic hangover. Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist who posed for friendly photo ops with 1993 World Trade Center attack co-conspirators, was elected to become the 111th mayor of the city fewer than 25 years after it endured the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
His victory speech quoted the late Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs and promised to “Trump-proof” New York by supercharging sanctuary policies. Translation: the NYPD will be ordered to stand down while federal agents are barred from city facilities, and $165 million in new legal-aid slush funds will keep criminal aliens on the streets. The result will be a green light for every transnational gang that already treats Times Square like an open-air bazaar. The Mamdani era threatens to be a period of darkness from which America’s most iconic city may never recover.
Remember when New York was the safest big city in America? Rudy Giuliani’s broken-windows revolution slashed major crimes 62 percent in just eight years. Michael Bloomberg kept the pedal down, driving murders to historic lows. Tourists posed under the TKTS stairs without clutching their wallets; subway riders read actual books instead of watching for violent offenders. Then came Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams, who draped the city in sanctuary banners. Cooperation with ICE evaporated. Deportations plummeted, and the bodies piled up.
Under de Blasio, shootings spiked 97 percent in 2020 alone. Adams talked tough but kept the sanctuary shackles on. Murders still rose 40 percent in his first two years. Midtown Manhattan became a popular target for migrant crime, as illegal aliens accounted for 75 percent of assaults, robberies, and domestic-violence arrests in precincts around Penn Station.
Shelters doubled as gang recruitment centers. The Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) quickly set up shop, building a criminal empire in the city. Federal indictments now name 27 TdA members for racketeering, sex trafficking, and running pink-cocaine rings out of city-funded hotels. They mowed down rivals in Queens, trafficked women in the Bronx, and turned migrant shelters into armed fortresses. One TdA fugitive, caught with a loaded Glock in Midtown, had already fled an armed home invasion in Colorado.
Mamdani won’t just preserve this chaos, he’ll accelerate it. His platform brags about “strengthening sanctuary laws,” banning ICE from schools and hospitals, and flooding immigration courts with city lawyers. --->READ MORE HERE
