New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared war on President Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, announcing a brazen executive order that would require federal ICE agents to obtain warrants before entering city properties—a move that has patriots questioning whether local officials can simply ignore federal law.

The defiant mayor's latest stunt comes as the Trump administration ramps up deportations of criminal illegal immigrants across the nation. But instead of cooperating with federal authorities to remove dangerous criminals from American streets, Mamdani is doubling down on New York's sanctuary city policies that have already turned the Big Apple into a playground for illegal aliens.

Social media erupted over the mayor's unconstitutional power grab. "A MAYOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! HE CANNOT REQUIRE WARRANTS, OR ANY OTHER, LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OVER FEDERAL LAW! HE'S A SHOWBOAT OF A JOKE!!" posted user @Rain82960Daniel, echoing the frustration of millions of Americans.

Another user @he2406 highlighted the mayor's executive order, posting: "Mamdani announces executive order requiring warrant for ICE to enter NYC properties" along with hashtags including #IllegalImmigration and #ExecutiveOrder.

Neo-Confederate Obstruction

Critics are calling Mamdani's move a "neo-Confederate stance" that mirrors the same lawless defiance of federal authority that Southern Democrats used during the Civil Rights era. The socialist mayor is essentially telling federal law enforcement that New York City operates under different rules than the rest of America.

This latest act of resistance comes as President Trump has made good on his campaign promise to secure America's borders and remove criminal illegal immigrants who have terrorized American communities for far too long. While ICE agents work tirelessly to protect American families, Democrat mayors like Mamdani are actively working to shield criminal aliens from justice.

The question patriots are asking: How long will the federal government allow local officials to openly defy immigration law and endanger American citizens? With Trump back in the White House, the days of sanctuary city lawlessness may finally be numbered.

This is exactly what obstruction of justice looks like. Federal immigration law supersedes local ordinances, and Adams knows it.

100% correct. He's putting politics over public safety.

So let me get this straight - NYC demands warrants for ICE but their own police can stop and frisk without one? The hypocrisy is unreal.

FINALLY someone is calling out these sanctuary city politicians! Adams is putting illegal immigrants before American citizens.

Cut federal funding NOW. If they want to harbor criminals, they can pay for it themselves instead of using our tax dollars.

Agreed. Hit them where it hurts - their budget.

My brother works in immigration enforcement and says this makes their job impossible. How are they supposed to protect communities when mayors actively work against them?
