New York City’s immigration policy just took a sharp ideological turn. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Faiza Ali as the new commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, elevating a longtime immigrant-rights activist with a history of protest involvement and outspoken criticism of ICE.
Ali, the daughter of Pakistani immigrants and a former deputy chief of staff in the City Council, has framed her work as rooted in dignity and protection for immigrant communities.
Critics, however, argue the appointment signals an aggressive sanctuary posture that could heighten tensions between City Hall and federal immigration authorities.
Sanctuary cities will no longer be government funded. President Trump announced that federal funding for "sanctuary" cities and states, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, will be cut off, with actions initiated in early 2026. New York is one of them. [Rare Foundation USA]
Good Night, Patriots!
