Fighting Oligarchy - Revolution with Bernie Sanders
Made shareable.
BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani rises to the moment calling for ICE to be totally abolished because it's "terrorizing people" regardless of their immigration status and the law as written.
You can't reform a fascist paramilitary organization..
"I am in support of abolishing ICE and I'll tell you why," the New York City mayor said during an appearance on The View. "What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law but instead what it's doing it's 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," he continued. "What we need to see is humanity. And there is a way to care about immigration in this city and in this country with a sense of humanity. What we're seeing from ICE is not it and we have not seen that from them in a long, long time."
During the same segment, Mamdani tore into the fact that Trump's enforcers are wearing masks to conceal their identities.
"Masked agents. You know, I am trying to inspire amongst New Yorkers a sense of faith and belief in what government can do and it's very hard to do that when they look at masked agents and see them as another face of a similar government," said the mayor. "Because then they ask themselves: 'Am I supposed to trust or am I supposed to fear?'"
"And what we want is for New Yorkers to be able to look to government as a place to solve their problems not as a place that creates their problems," he added.
Life in America might be growing grimmer by the day thanks to Trump's disastrous domestic policies and fascist imperialism overseas, but Zohran Mamdani remains a genuine ray of hope in the darkness.
This is what it looks and sounds like when Americans elect a leader who actually prioritizes their needs over personal profit or the demands of special interests and corporations. Already, he has teamed up with New York Governor Kathy Hochul to announce universal childcare for two-year-olds in New York City. He also unveiled a $4 million proposal to build new high-quality bathrooms throughout the city. Progress is possible, it just requires vision and commitment.
In addition to materially improving the lives of his constituents, Mamdani is presenting a moral paradigm for leadership that stands in stark contrast to Trump's rank, immoral gangsterism. His call to abolish ICE is part of that moral framework. He's not saying that we can't have immigration law, he's saying that this organization, riddled as it is with undertrained, overweight MAGA fanatics with a thirst for blood can't be "fixed." It has to be torn down completely.
