"We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, no matter the facts of the case. And I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life."
"Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Mamdani, in light of recent events, there's been renewed calls from prominent Democrats to abolish ICE. I want to know where you come down on abolishing ICE and if you believe that ICE has any legitimate law enforcement role? Griffin was referring to the shooting death of anti-ICE protester Renee Good in Minnesota earlier this month."
"His comments come after a few Democratic lawmakers have called for abolishing ICE in recent weeks. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) said last week he was introducing a bill to get rid of ICE because it was committing murders, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) told MS NOW that ICE cannot be reformed. Mamdani added Americans are not seeing any humanity from ICE agents."
Zohran Mamdani supports abolishing ICE and describes the agency as terrorizing people regardless of immigration status and failing to fulfill its stated purpose. He cited repeated images of people being dragged out of cars, homes, and lives as evidence of persistent abuse. Mamdani characterized ICE actions as lacking humanity and incompatible with humane immigration care in the city and country. His remarks occurred amid renewed Democratic calls to abolish ICE following the shooting death of anti-ICE protester Renee Good in Minnesota. Representatives Shri Thanedar and Ayanna Pressley also advocated elimination or argued ICE cannot be reformed in recent weeks.
