Far-left Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani blasted ICE agents in a fiery Friday speech — before signing a seemingly performative executive order for New York City to uphold its sanctuary city laws.
Speaking at his first Interfaith Breakfast at the New York Public Library — a long-running annual tradition that is supposed to foster unity — Hizzoner decried the actions of the Trump administration, raging that ICE was operative as a “rogue agency” throughout the country.
“Day after day we bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience,” Mamdani raged.
“Masked agents paid by our own tax dollars violate the Constitution and visit terror upon our neighbors. They arrive as if atop a pale horse, and they leave a path of wreckage in their wake,” he boomed.
“It is a manifestation of the abuse of power.”
The young socialist mayor then declared to the packed room that he was signing an executive order to “uphold” the protections of New Yorkers, no matter their citizenship status.
“We will make it clear once again ICE will not be able to enter New York City property without a judicial warrant. That means our schools, our shelters and our hospitals,” he said.
However, the order doesn’t appear to do anything more to protect New Yorkers than what is already on the books.
The Big Apple’s sanctuary city laws already bar ICE from entering city property without a warrant, an issue that arose during the Adams administration when immigration agents entered a shelter without proper paperwork.
The full executive order was not immediately released for review.
