What’s going on in far-left Zohran Mamandi’s New York City? Nothing good. For one, Mamdani is trying to foist extortionate death taxes on the city’s residents that would see even middle-class homeowners racked by the confiscation of up to half their assets. Similarly, he is pushing numerous other taxes, all of which are chasing those who can flee the city out of it. Meanwhile, he’s also going on the attack against ICE as his sanctuary city tries to release the worst sorts of illegal aliens.
Zohran’s latest attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its officers came on Friday, March 27, when he went berserk and demanded that the whole agency be “abolished” because it is “rogue” and “reckless”. Meanwhile, it is trying to keep New Yorkers safe from illegals, something in the minds of many after an illegal alien killed an elderly veteran in the city’s subway system.
During that news conference about safety in the city and ICE, the mayor, who insisted that ICE is a “rogue agency,” said, “We’re making clear that no one is above the law in this city, that everyone has to follow the rule of law. I have made clear to the president, both in our private conversations and our public conversations, about the fact that I believe that ICE is a rogue agency.”
He then called on ICE to be “abolished” because illegal aliens in the city are fearful of being caught by it, declaring, “I’ve also been public about my belief that ICE is an entity that should be abolished, and that is critically important in our city, where we’ve seen too many New Yorkers living in fear of even going to what would otherwise be routine immigration check ins.”
Continuing, he attacked the idea of federal supremacy by whining about how ICE agents are largely immune to his attempts and the attempts of other rogue and radical Democrats to attack them, saying, “… What we’ve had in the interim is a federal entity that has been operating with a level of impunity, and that has to come to an end.”
He then praised the absurd “No Kings” protests as a means by which New Yorkers can attack ICE, saying, “I think that rallies are an incredibly effective way for New Yorkers to both organize together and make it clear what their vision is for the city, for the state, for this country. I think that what we’ve seen is that there’s an attempt to make many in our city feel as if they are alone, when they believe that ICE has no place in our city, when they believe that every single New Yorker who lives in this city belongs in this city, and should be made to feel as if such.”

Meanwhile, ICE has had to track down and re-arrest illegal aliens released by NYC authorities despite the danger they pose to public safety. For example, an illegal alien gang member from Ecuador named Bryan Leon, a man who has prior arrests for family neglect and assault on his record, attacked a first responder in the city and was arrested for it. ICE lodged a detainer regarding him with the NYPD. The city nevertheless released him from custody
That led to ICE having to track him down and re-arrest him. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis, complaining about the matter, said, “New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this Latin Kings gang member from jail back not New York City communities. This gang member was previously arrested for assault on a first responder and family neglect.”
