New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani discussed his support for the 'Abolish ICE' movement during an interview on MS NOW's 'The Weekend.' He expressed that the conditions at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, have motivated his stance against the agency. Mamdani stated, 'There is no way to reform this kind of cruelty that we’re seeing endemic in the way that immigration is being enforced across the country.' He emphasized the importance of developing a new vision for the Democratic Party that aligns with his principles. Mamdani also highlighted his administration's commitment to sanctuary city policies and the delivery of services such as free child care for families, which he believes will demonstrate the party's values beyond political rhetoric. He has previously criticized ICE enforcement and issued an executive order to limit local law enforcement's cooperation with ICE without a judicial warrant.
