Zohran Mamdani, New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee, conducted a campaign stop in Staten Island focused on criticizing President Trump's immigration reforms. He emphasized the impact of Trump's policies on immigrant communities, describing the situation as a 'dark moment'. Mamdani labeled the Trump administration as authoritarian and condemned ICE's actions against immigrants. His campaign includes plans to 'Trump-proof NYC' by removing ICE from city facilities and strengthening sanctuary city laws to protect residents. Mamdani's message seeks to resonate with the diverse immigrant population of Staten Island, which has a significant number of non-English speakers.
Mamdani stated, "As we gather here on an island, where nearly 1 in 4 were born outside of this country, an island where 30% of its residents speak a language other than English, it's an island that we know is not immune from this horrific crackdown by the Trump administration."
Mamdani characterized the current situation as a 'dark moment' for New York City and federal governance, labeling the Trump administration an 'authoritarian government' and condemning ICE's actions against immigrants.
Mamdani's commitment to 'Trump-proofing NYC' includes crucial measures like removing ICE from city facilities and reinforcing sanctuary city laws to safeguard immigrant rights.
Mamdani emphasized, 'We know that it has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with punishment,' reflecting his stance on the harmful impact of Trump's immigration policies.
