Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to never accept the US Supreme Court’s ruling allowing President Trump’s administration to strip deportation protection for Haitian and Syrian migrants.
“To have people who frankly taught the world about freedom have their own freedom put into jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and federal administration — it is not only cruel, it’s not something we will ever accept,” Hizzoner said in a video statement after Thursday’s bombshell 6-3 ruling.
The high court ruled that the “temporary protected status” statutes don’t allow for judicial review and that lower courts can’t intervene in the Trump administration’s decision to remove deportation protections for more than 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians living in the US.
Mamdani immediately rallied with immigration advocates, Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James following the ruling, and released the defiant video message afterward.
“The Supreme Court just sparked one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. In one fell swoop, thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home,” Mamdani also said in a statement issued by City Hall.
“This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families,” the statement said.
“To the tens of thousands of New Yorkers with TPS who are watching the news, frightened about what comes next, hear me clearly: New York City is your home. You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.”
City Hall said the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs would be sharing “additional information and resources soon.”

Speak for yourself, buddy. Your lack of faith in your fellow Americans is stunning.
The good news is that now all the Haitians will go to new york.
he just gave an invitation.
Hey, Mummadumbalummabutt— read my lips:
NO. KINGS.
“We’ve been down this road before.”
During the secession crisis of 1861 Mayor Fernando Wood proposed that NYC should secede and become independent. Linclon swatted him down with a joke about the front door setting up its own house.
Three step plan
1) Loudly and publicly explain to Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James they don’t have a say in the matter.
2) Just like federal mandates on education, and interstate travel New York City, and New York State is no longer eligible for federal funds to cover the cost of welfare, medicaid, and low income housing.
3) Enforce any federal laws that may have been broken to the fullest extent of the law.
I've seen it here. People who just take whatever they can, invade wherever they can. Opportunistic like rats and other pests. They walk their dogs on your lawn and let their kids play on it too. If you didn't lock your car they will grab whatever's in it, at 3 a.m. No real sense of property rights other than their own. "If it can be carried, it can be stolen."
But unlike rodent pests they are grudge-bearing, angry, and "entitled."
“Your criminal Haiti pals are going home.”
“Pals”? LOL. I hate those people. I hate the Somalis. They’re disgusting sub-humans and don’t belong in among actual humans in our country.
“Linclon swatted him down with a joke”
More information about this, please? I’m not familiar.
Though I do recall history of the New York Times setting up Gatling guns in their lobby to shoot anti-draft rioters/protesters during the (first) Civil War.
I wonder if NYT would do that today? (rhetorical/sarcasm)

“When they attacked the offices of the New York Times, employees with newly-invented Gatling Guns defended the presses.”

Yankees in New York chasing down blacks in the streets. Beating, killing, and lynching them. The riots of 1863. Torching homes and businesses. It was called ‘one of most deadly civil unrest events in American history’. The official death figure was about 120, but the numbers were probably higher in the low hundreds. 300-400. Probably.
