Mayor-elect of New York Zohran Mamdani has offered advice to illegals on how to “stand up” to immigration agents and “know your rights.”
Mamdani’s PSA is a direct response to last weekend’s immigration raids in New York’s Chinatown, which were disrupted by protests. Around 200 protesters blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents inside a parking garage.
“Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in a video posted on 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.
“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 continued.
“You have the right to say, ‘I do not consent to entry,’ and the right to keep your door closed.
“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 said.
“You are legally allowed to film ICE, as long as you do not interfere with an arrest,” he added.
“New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest, and when I’m mayor, we will protect that right,” Mamdani said.
New York is currently home to at least three million immigrants, of whom over 400,000 are illegals, according to the most recent data, from 2022.
Republican response to the PSA video was furious. Mamdani was accused of “aiding, abetting and advising criminals,” by one X user.
“This man is the best gift Democrats have ever handed to [the] GOP,” another user wrote.
