Mamdani tells his immigrant/illegal population how to evade ICE

Mamdani Gives Advice On How To Evade ICE

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offered advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in a video message Sunday — calling on illegal immigrants to “stand up” to the federal agents and “know your rights.”

The democratic socialist positioned himself as the mayor of “more than 3 million immigrants” as he spoke following last weekend’s ICE raid in Chinatown, which was disrupted by protesters.

“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,” the Queens assembly member added, standing in front of a flip chart with the words “Know your rights” scrawled on it.
