New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's apparent victory in New York City's Democrat mayoral primary has sparked a national conversation surrounding what it would mean for the future of the Big Apple - and the Democrat Party - were the Democrat Socialist party member to get elected in November.
Among the things he's pledged to do if elected are rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, raising the minimum wage to $30 by 2030, and "Trump-proofing" NYC, which would include ending all cooperation with ICE and "strengthening" Resistance efforts on behalf of illegal immigrants.
"He’ll ensure our immigrant New Yorkers are protected by strengthening our sanctuary city apparatus: getting ICE out of all City facilities and ending any cooperation, increasing legal support, and protecting all personal data," it was noted on Mamdani's platform page.
Naturally, such vows have gotten the attention of border czar Tom Homan, who said in a Fox News interview that federal law enforcement officials would be "doubling down and tripling down" on immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities like NYC and knew how to do end runs, if necessary, around whatever Mamdani has in store if elected:
That boy is gonna get slapped down hard and fast and you know he is going to do something stupid and get arrested and I pray he is taken down, cuffed and perped walk to the nearest fed plane and sent out of state to a secure location beyond the physical control of the state of new york and the slimey governor.
