New York City’s incoming mayor, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, released a video on X Sunday morning offering step-by-step advice to illegal immigrants on thwarting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Standing in front of a flip chart labeled “Know your rights,” Mamdani positioned himself as the defender of NYC’s “more than 3 million immigrants,” vowing to protect them from federal raids amid President Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.
The video comes on the heels of a disrupted ICE raid in Chinatown last weekend, where nearly 200 protesters blocked agents from leaving a parking garage.
“Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in the video posted to 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.”
Mamdani continued, “But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.”
“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.
“You have the right to say, ‘I do not consent to entry,’ and the right to keep your door closed,” he continued.
Mamdani showed an example of ICE paperwork that may be mistaken for a 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 continued.
“You are legally allowed to film ICE, as long as you do not interfere with an arrest,” he stated.
Mamdani also not-so-subtly urged people to protest.
“New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest, and when I’m mayor, we will protect that right,” Mamdani said.
WATCH:
Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

============================================================
The Trump administration has not issued an official response to Mamdani’s video at time of publishing.
No surprise here.
This.
Is.
Sedition.
Interesting. Nothing will happen to you if you block ice agents from leaving. But you block an abortion clinic, which is not even federal property and they’ll
give you 11 years.
Arrest this criminal conspiring to violate federal immigration law ! ! Throw this Islamist/Communist in federal prison ! !
Like Ciller Como did.
“Know your rights,”
Suppose he tells the rest of us what those rights are and where they come from!!!!!!
So........in the name of fairness, equity and sustainability, does this mean New Yorkers can ignore, counteract all of the Leftist/Madmandani edicts?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm??
Yep!
Aiding and abetting felonious crimes against America..
Dear Pam Bondi,
ARREST HIM!!!
AIDING——ABETTING
LOCK HIM UP
Youth is wasted on the young.
Too bad that mamdani isn’t impeached. Now that would be something to behold. Impeached before he can take office. That would be a new one.
“But we can all stand up to NYC Tax Collectors if you know your rights.” Next step for New Yorkers?
Apparently not when a Democrat does it.................
This is rich coming from a man who will shortly release the dogs on the Jewish population of New York. From real estate mogols to Haredi scholars, the midnight knock on the door will come. With price controls and skyrocketing taxes Mandani will force the sale of RE portfolios that have been built over generations and force the Yidden out
Hey Mamdani, if I, as a U.S. citizen, go down to Mexico City and yell and scream in the street that it’s my home because I am living there, what will the Mexican authorities do to me?
What a delusional pig.
DEPORT the ‘ucken islamocommie!
“Bye bye, little muhammad! If you lied on your N-400 naturalization forms, you’re going home,” Ogles wrote in a X post, that was posted last night.”
