New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) condemned President Donald Trump’s incursion into Venezuela and arrest of Nicolás Maduro on Saturday, calling it a “violation of federal and international law.”
Mamdani, who was sworn in as New York’s first democratic socialist mayor on Jan. 1, wrote on X, “I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.”
Mamdani continued, “This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.”

Their safety? Memo to Imamdani: Venezuelans the world over are thrilled about Maduro being taken out. They’re not targets or victims of Trump.
good golly this can go so many ways. i hope whatever this move - doesn’t actually FEED the socialist momentum here at HOME. Next thing you know Maduro is pardoned and becomes Mayor of Portland 😕
Who asked him?
A rally of happy Venezuelans in Times Square this weekend would give lie to his claim.
There is no such thing as “International Law” and the International Criminal Court (ICC) is illegitimate.
These Caracas blues
Are melting away
I’m gonna get a Trump-led start of it
In ol’ New York
If I can be in jail there
I can be locked up anywhere—
It’s up to you, New York, New York!
Communist installed as invading NYC mayor by illegally imported communists.
Arrest him and deport all communists from America.
Save our country … while we still can.
Smuggling tons of narcotics into the US is an act of war. Too bad we don’t execute anymore. It won’t bring back the tens of thousands who have died addicted, but it would send a message.
Update: President Trump, head down, announced he is resigning as of today. ((/SARC))
Piss off, commie goat boy.
As we see in everyday life, the opposition makes unforced errors when their TDS meter goes red.
Gosh gosh pop some popcorn!
Mom’sdummy bangs his sippy cup on the kiddy table.
His diaper needs changed.
Z, stay in your lane.
Shut up, PeeWee.
Mamdani is barely a USA citizen and he is already talking smack against the president of the United States.
I say revoke his citizenship and deport him back to Uganda. America has enough subversives and traitors (all in the democrat party). Mamdani can talk smack while in his beloved Africa. /spit
Now he’s a foreign policy expert?
All he’s doing is shilling for a narco (supposedly socialist) regime.
Mamdani sure is full of himself. Someone should tell him that he’s a mayor, and not a leading member of the US Senate.
Anyway, the Navy is rolling out a new generation of nuclear submarines. I await Mamdan’s opinion on that.
<< Smuggling tons of narcotics into the US is an act of war. >>
As is releasing thousands of hardcore criminals from their prisons and sending them our way during Auto-Pen’s term.
None of Mamdani’s business. They better move this prisoner out of NY and down to Florida.
Mamdani is the one who claimed he would arrest Netanyahu is he set foot in NYC to speak.
So, have someone plant some dope in Maduro’s pocket and arrest him in NYC. No problems of international laws as a charge. Just NYPD making a local bust. Wait 2-3 years for his case of diplomatic immunity to come up on the overloaded dockets. Such a backlog.
