While President Trump prepares to deliver on his promise of mass deportations to secure our border, radical New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani went on ABC's "The View" Tuesday to call for completely abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming the federal agency is "terrorizing people."

This isn't just tone-deaf—it's a direct assault on the safety and sovereignty that 75 million Americans voted for just over a year ago.

When co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pressed Mamdani about recent events that have renewed Democrat calls to abolish ICE, the progressive mayor didn't back down from his extremist position. Instead, he doubled down on the same open-borders rhetoric that got Democrats shellacked in 2024.

The Timing Couldn't Be Worse for Democrats

Mamdani's anti-ICE rant comes at the worst possible moment for his party. President Trump has made it crystal clear that mass deportations are a top priority for his second term, with the full backing of his national security team including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

While everyday Americans are demanding action on the border crisis that Biden created, Democrats like Mamdani are still living in their progressive fantasy world where enforcing immigration law is somehow "terrorizing people."

"This is exactly why Trump won—because regular folks are sick and tired of politicians who care more about protecting illegal immigrants than protecting American citizens."

The mayor's comments reveal the stunning disconnect between the radical left and working Americans who understand that a nation without borders isn't a nation at all.

ICE: Protecting Americans, Not "Terrorizing" Anyone

Let's be clear about what ICE actually does: they remove dangerous criminals, human traffickers, and drug dealers who have no legal right to be here. They reunite kidnapped children with their families and break up smuggling operations that exploit vulnerable people.

But to progressives like Mamdani, enforcing the law is "terrorizing people." This is the same backwards thinking that turned American cities into sanctuary zones for criminals while law-abiding citizens suffered.

President Trump's deportation agenda isn't about "terror"—it's about restoring the rule of law that Democrats spent four years destroying. And unlike his first term, Trump now has a unified Republican government ready to get the job done.

How long will Americans in blue cities continue tolerating mayors who prioritize illegal immigrants over their own constituents?

I live near the border and see firsthand what's happening in our communities. These radical mayors in their ivory towers have no idea what real Americans are dealing with every day.

This is exactly why Trump won - Americans are tired of sanctuary city mayors putting illegal immigrants before their own citizens. How can you abolish the very agency that's supposed to protect our borders?

Couldn't agree more. My tax dollars shouldn't go to protecting people who broke our laws to get here.
