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.”

That’s not how America works foreign boy.
I guess he wants to set up his own country.
Born in Uganda. Spits on the US Supreme Court ruling. Only in America!
He’s grandstanding. Municipal authorities have nothing to do with enforcement. If he interferes, he can be the first NYC mayor to be federally indicted for obstructing immigration enforcement.
Umm. When a mayor of a U.S. city rejects the rule of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Federal government, I think they call that insurrection.
We’ve been down this road before.
Haitians some of the great minds of our time just like Mandami ,LOL
Sharia Law says that the US Constitution doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have to pay attention to our legal system. His is better.
That’s not his call to make
As if he was enforcing Federal Immigration before this.
I am sure the Feds will find a way to work this out without his help, inshallah.
“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.”
New York is picking and choosing which federal laws they will follow. I wonder what Todd Blanche will have to say about this.
The stupid dipshit messes with the feds at his own risk.
... just remember the Trump administration will not tolerate illegal immigration and will deport illegal aliens.
He should go home to Uganda and take his money and his immigrants with him. He can throw all the spit balls he wants from there. Nobody will care.
EXACTLY what they want, and make no mistake, they WILL get what they want. They already are. These sacks of shit don't even qualify for the ballot. They can't. They do not believe in America, and they certainly cannot uphold their oaths to office. They WILL get what they want. Watch. There's a reason America isn't mentioned in the Bible directly. It won't be here in the last days. Mark my word. Americans are weak and feckless. We prefer peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom.
Time to invoke the 1954 Antonio- Communist Act.
So then the SCOTUS rulings and laws passed by the House and Senate are displayed on a smorgasbord and we can pick and choose among them to follow or ignore.
If Mamdani can do it, can I?
I have a lot of plans I am suppressing.
I’m such a good person.
Must be like the term Cafeteria Catholic.
And Reform Judaism which bases choices on what is meaningful to the believer rather than being observant like the Orthodox.
Will our federal government handle this???
When my daughter was in high school the church brought in a nun who ran a mission in Haiti. She got pretty involved. She even went down there to work on a project they were building (the chaperone was a retired Navy Seal…she was safe.)
It did not take long to discover that half of the locals working with the nun were stealing everything that was not nailed down. All of the work these kids doing fundraising and physically working on this project went down the drain before their very eyes.
I could not have asked for a better “college level” course for her in what the rest of the undeveloped world was like in real life. It was amusing to see her interact later with college friends who would fly off for a semester abroad without any idea of what life is like outside the states. She would shake her head at how naive they were.
Haiti is just one of those places that has been a corrupt dump for so long, they just don’t know any better. We don’t need a lot more of that in the states.
People on the right are not worried enough about these communists.
