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.”

It looks like we will need more popcorn.
Mandami will go down in history as the maggot who colonized America with the world’s sewage.
Due Process in that situation usually involves rough treatment of the suspect.
“Mandami will go down in history as the maggot who colonized America with the world’s sewage.”
Sadly, the damage has already been done. The American urban public is generally self absorbed, ignorant, and unable to think critically. I am concerned that the mess in NYC will bleed out to the rest of the country and be a major, persistent problem.
Anyone with two functioning brain cells that connect could have seen this coming.
Like sepsis.
That’s correct.
‘Sadly, the damage has already been done. The American urban public is generally self absorbed, ignorant, and unable to think critically.’
That’s the heartbreaking truth.
The problem is the smart people have already moved out of the cities, so you only have the stupid people left to vote for the mayors.
“Get Smart”, became a documentary. The choice by the scriptwriters for the enemy of the free world to be called, “Chaos”, is now reality.
Why not , he has no clue what country he’s living in anyway
An anagram on The Great Zohran’s surname is “I, Madman”, a fitting epithet.
Something about being bat-guano crazy.
This mayor is wholly unqualified for public office insofar as he defies every effort toward domestic tranquility and a more perfect union. A diligent people would never have allowed him on the ballot, even in New York.
Mamdani thinks he was elected Dictator like they do back in his home country ,LOL
Now that he’s in, we won’t be seeing much of that phoney cheese smile, but we will be seeing more of the angry islamist behind those dopey eyes.
Doesn’t he plan to fire the police and replace them with social workers ? LOL
an utter disaster for New York
Realizing he’s gonna need help, ZM says he’s going to call Trump.
Washington Examiner
New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani revealed Tuesday that he plans to call President Donald Trump, one of his fiercest critics, before he is sworn into office.
“I will be reaching out to the White House as we prepare to actually take office because this is a relationship that will be critical to the success of the city,” Mamdani said in an interview with NBC New York ahead of assuming the mayorship on Jan. 1, 2026.
I hope he staffs his security detail with social workers :)
