DHS Questions Mamdani’s Immigrant-Rights Video as NYC Mayor-Elect Pledges No NYPD Help for ICE

DHS says the Justice Department is reviewing the mayor-elect’s guidance to immigrants.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Fox News that Mamdani may have violated the Constitution with his advice and that DOJ is coordinating a review.
  • In a video, Mamdani tells immigrants they can deny entry without a judicial warrant, remain silent, ask if they are free to go, and record ICE actions without interfering.
  • Mamdani told MS NOW the NYPD will not assist with federal immigration enforcement and said ICE officers who break city laws should face accountability, including potential arrest.
  • Reporting from MS NOW and The Mirror US describes increased ICE activity in New York, including masked street arrests, detentions at 26 Federal Plaza, and an attempted Canal Street raid.
  • Mamdani said he is prepared for any consequences of his stance and recounted telling President Trump in a recent Oval Office meeting that raids are cruel and do not enhance public safety.
