NYC socialists mustering army of 4,000 anti-ICE activists to bring Minnesota tactics to Big Apple
NY Post ^ | 01/18/2026 | Gabrielle Fahmy

New York City socialists are mustering an army of more than 4,000 anti-ICE activists to form “rapid response” battalions and obstruct the feds in an expected imminent crackdown on illegal migrants in the Big Apple.

Mayor Mamdani’s comrades with the DSA outlined the mission Thursday at a monthly meeting of their Immigrant Justice Working Group in the swanky Midtown digs of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, where photos of communist idols Fidel Castro and Che Guevara decorate the walls.

“As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,” a DSA leader who only identified herself as Marina told the crowd of more than 100 members.

“It can be confusing, it can be scary, it can be kind of uncertain what’s happening in New York right now. . . . But we want to be on our front foot if and when it does.”

The NYC chapter is training 2,000 DSA members and another 2,000 non-members, along with activating 50 additional trainers.

It’s also beefing up staffing of its ICE hotline to operate it 24/7.

“If you speak Pular, if you speak Creole, if you speak Fulani – come find us,” urged a leader. “We really want you on the team.”

The group didn’t say what all of this will cost, but the member-funded organization repeatedly asked for money throughout the nearly two-hour long meeting – with one leader even going around the room with a red beanie soliciting cash donations in the socialist version of a collection plate.

The majority of the crowd of mostly white, Gen Z socialists said they were first timers galvanized by the death of Renee Good, the 37-year-old Minneapolis mom fatally shot by an ICE agent during a confrontation earlier this month.

Obstruction is illegal on its face. Time to invoke the Insurrection Act.

What makes you say something like that? Maybe you should go up to New York and fight these people yourself.

Agreed. He talks tough at home, but when the rubber meats the road, he allows himself to be played and cities to burn.

Now, he has ‘talked himself out of using the Insurrection Act,’ so its a foregone conclusion, and admitting that on camera, was an open invitation for radicals to riot with impunity.

Che Guevara and Fidel Castro murdered everyone after they took power. Things to look forward to when the national socialists take over NY.

So admirers of an avowed anti American communist party are planning to assist literal invaders of this country against enforcement of the law!?

Mr. Trump, pick up the fecking red phone…

Remember want to be revolutionaries…. Cuban revolutionary hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara spoke bitterly of comrade-in-arms Fidel Castro in his final hours, according to a never-before-revealed account of the eve of his execution. "Fidel betrayed me," he told his captors.

Your future waits!

The only thing they will really fight for is graft.

Trump is good, but we need Pinochet.
