News that Mayor Zohran Mamdani has hired Bitta Mostofi, a Biden and de Blasio alumna, to “audit” the NYPD and other city agencies for violations of local sanctuary laws comes amid a larger lefty push to prevent any cooperation with ICE because progressives want “Minneapolis everywhere.”
Anti-ICE protests across the country are turning into dangerous street theater where agitators stage in-your-face confrontations with federal law enforcement in hopes of videos that will shock the public — with actual bloodshed even better.
The left is already planning to take its ICE resistance act into red states — like Florida, Tennessee and Texas — where local police and sheriffs work with ICE to bloodlessly detain known illegal-immigrant criminals.
Appointing Mostofi (who in the de Blasio years lobbied to ban the terms “illegal immigrant” and “alien” and urged New Yorkers to resist federal authorities) as “sanctuary commissar” foreshadows a doubling down on activist anti-ICE policies emanating from City Hall.
