Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offered advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in a video message Sunday — calling on illegal immigrants to “stand up” to the federal agents and “know your rights.”
The democratic socialist positioned himself as the mayor of “more than 3 million immigrants” as he spoke following last weekend’s ICE raid in Chinatown, which was disrupted by protesters.
“Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in a video posted on X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home.
“But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights,” the Queens congressman added, standing in front of a flip chart with the words “Know your rights” scrawled on it.
“ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge,” Mamdani said, bringing up an example of such a warrant on the screen.
“You have the right to say, ‘I do not consent to entry,’ and the right to keep your door closed,” he added, before showing an example of the non-binding legal paperwork he said ICE may show instead of a judicial warrant.
“ICE is legally allowed to lie to you. But you have the right to remain silent. If you are being detained, you may always ask, ‘Am I free to go?’ repeatedly until they answer you,” Mamdani said.

None dare call it “insurrection.”
So........in the name of fairness, equity and sustainability, does this mean New Yorkers can ignore, counteract all of the Leftist/Madmandani edicts?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm??
“ Madmani doesn’t seem to know how the system works.”
It is we who do not understand. He has a new system and he will bring it in. He has no constitutional authority
Arrest him.
Hey now. He was, after all, the ‘pro crime’ candidate. The repubs need to paint their opposition everywhere as pro-crime and pro-fraud.
So do Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Jessica Tarlov, Rachel Maddow and Rosie O'Donnell.
Let's see them use that right.
LOL at “Immigrants” they love calling these illegals “Immigrants” so that it makes it look like Trump is targeting people who are LEGALLY here, NO, he is going after ILLEGAL ALIENS, they are NOT immigrants, never have been and NEVER will be..but I tell ya they really really want their open borders, to flood America with 100 million new Dem voters, give them every Govt freebie known to man so they have a permanent Dem voter block
Does that include the right of a New Yorker to not be killed by a drunk illegal alien DUI?
Howabout the right of a New Yorker to not be assaulted, robbed, raped or murdered by an illegal alien?
You schmuck.
What country is he working for ?
What is coming someday soon.
Scene from movie Hoffa (Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito)

Note: This movie sort of sums up my cynical view of 95% of America.
Totally corrupt, selfish politicians. Greedy bosses taking advantage of workers. Labor leaders grifting and embezzling.
The cowering innocent woman and her child saw the trapped husband and father killed. He wanted to oppose the labor bosses but would be beaten again and killed. If labor spies saw him oppose the union he was marked for death. If he stayed with the union the bosses’ hired army would single him out and beat and kill him and maybe his wife and son.
Hopeless.
He’s working for the Ummah as a Jihadi.
Uganda
Are any of his admonitions actionable?
No American taxpayer dollars should be sent to Zohran’s Aunt Teefuses Fascist bass turds. Freedom isn’t free. Communism isn’t free either. Somebody has to pay the tab every time for the Muzzie terrorists and their destruction.
Wonder if federal marshals are being deployed with ICE and national guards personnel? Hope so...Would be salutary to see them pay some visits to a couple of mayors, police chiefs etc...
When you can’t change the law, help people break it.
No clue. None.
Those illegal alien butt heads aren’t Americans. The slobs and killers have no rights. If the piggies want “rights”, they need to go home and ask their own government for some.
Someone should mention to the Foreigner that what he’s advocating got about 760,000 men killed a century and a half ago including more then a few in my family....on both sides.
If the alien wants civil war I’m sure the FedGov can oblige.
