New York’s socialist mayor sailed into office on a far-left message that, among other things, denounced the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration laws.
But now that he’s in office, Zohran Mamdani is starting to realize the real-world limitations of his supposedly utopian agenda.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin put him in his place during a recent interview.
As Breitbart reported, he was responding to Mamdani’s claims that ICE raids are “cruel” and border czar Tom Homan’s subsequent assertion that New York “is not cooperating” with immigration officers:
MULLIN: He’ absolutely correct. First of all, Mamdani is a socialist communist that I have zero respect for. He’s running a great city by allowing lawless activity to continue to run rampant on the streets. President Trump ran on the fact that he’s going to restore law back in American cities, even in sanctuary cities. I have said this multiple times. I don’t care if it’s a red state or a blue state. We’re going to protect the homeland and what happens in these sanctuary cities, like what Mamdani is running, is that the criminals go to the safe haven in New York City, but they disperse throughout other parts of the city or the state and other parts of the country and continue this criminal activity. So we’re are going to go where the heart of the crime is. Listen, 98% of the American people — President Trump states this fact all the time — 98% of the American people are law abiding citizens. It’s the 2% that runs rampant and destroys our cities and our towns and our communities. And what we’re doing is we are going after the worst of the worst no matter where they’re at and that’s including in New York and Mamdani can’t do a thing about it because we’re going to enforce laws, not pick and choose which laws we are going to enforce like he chooses.
Here’s a clip of Mullin’s remarks about the NYC mayor:

Meanwhile, here’s what Mamdani has been up to:

And Yahoo highlighted Homan’s recent remarks:
On Monday, Homan said that New York City will soon experience what he described as the largest deployment of ICE agents in its history, linking the move directly to a recently enacted state law.
“You are going to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City. And it’s coming,” Homan said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”
He added, “I just reviewed an operational plan. I’m not going to tell you exactly when it’s going to happen, but it’s coming.”
Here’s a flashback to what Homan had to say about Mamdani several months ago:
