Mamdani called for abolishing ICE

DHS Chief Just Called New York Mayor a Socialist Communist With Zero Respect

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly called for abolishing ICE and declared federal enforcement operations "cruel and inhumane."

Seventy percent of ICE arrests nationwide involve illegal aliens with criminal convictions.

Now the man in charge of the entire Department of Homeland Security just responded on national television.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on Fox News and said he has "zero respect" for Mamdani – and explained exactly why New York's refusal to cooperate with ICE is putting Americans across the country in danger.

Mullin Named Him Directly...Appearing on Fox News Channel's America Reports Wednesday, Secretary Mullin didn't mince words when asked about the mayor's defiance.

Mamdani – a self-described democratic socialist born in Uganda who became New York City's first Muslim mayor – has spent his first months in office signing executive orders to block ICE from city property and publicly calling for the agency to be abolished entirely.

"Mamdani is a socialist communist that I have zero respect for," Mullin said. "He's running a great city by allowing lawless activity to continue to run rampant on the streets."

The House Oversight Committee confirmed that pattern in a March 2026 report, finding that sanctuary cities function as staging areas for illegal immigrant criminals whose violence spills into neighboring jurisdictions that cooperate with federal authorities.
