Let’s talk about promises. Specifically, the kind of promise an elected official makes when they place a hand on a Bible and swear an oath to uphold the laws of our country and protect the citizens they represent. That promise is the glue that holds our society together. It’s a sacred trust that, once shattered, unleashes nothing but pure chaos.

But a poisonous new ideology is festering within the radical left, one that treats this solemn oath as a silly suggestion. In their upside-down world, public office is just a Trojan horse—a way to get inside the system and dismantle it piece by piece. They see our law enforcement officers not as the thin blue line protecting the innocent, but as the enemy. And if you think that’s just political hyperbole, listen to what New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, said himself. On national television, no less.

During a fawning appearance on “The View,” Mamdani dropped the mask and revealed his true intentions.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“I am in support of abolishing ICE, and I’ll tell you why,” Mamdani said to the applause of the View’s audience. “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 is terrorizing people, no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, no matter the facts of the case.”

Let’s not mince words. This isn’t just a bad policy idea from a clueless progressive. This is a sitting mayor of a major American city calling for the complete eradication of a federal law enforcement agency. It is an open declaration of war on the rule of law. When an elected official actively encourages the obstruction of federal officers, you have to ask: where does political dissent end and criminal incitement begin?

A Mayor’s War on Law and Order

Mamdani wants you to believe that ICE agents are just villains terrorizing innocent people. He babbles about “humanity” because he knows the facts are not on his side. He’s banking on the fact that his audience won’t look up the numbers from President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security—numbers that show around 70 percent of individuals arrested by ICE have already been convicted or charged with other crimes. These aren’t just hardworking people looking for a better life. They are often criminals who have already violated our laws and hurt our citizens.

By calling to abolish the one agency tasked with removing these predators from our country, Mamdani isn’t defending the downtrodden. He’s running cover for criminals, making it obvious he values the well-being of illegal felons over the safety of the American families he supposedly serves.

The View from the Liberal Bubble

Of course, this all went down on “The View”—the high court of out-of-touch liberal opinion—where this kind of dangerous nonsense gets a standing ovation. In the perfumed air of a Manhattan television studio, attacking law enforcement is a sign of enlightened thinking. But out here in the real world, the consequences of these policies are catastrophic. While the hosts and their audience clap like seals, regular families are left to clean up the mess.

Mamdani wasn’t speaking to the hardworking people of his city. He was performing for the radical activists and media elites who share his deep-seated contempt for a sovereign America. He was playing for the team that believes America is always the villain.

When a mayor spits on his oath and declares war on the very institutions that keep us safe, he has committed the ultimate betrayal. This has nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with a radical desire for a lawless, borderless nation. Americans have a choice: leaders who honor their oath, or activist-politicians who want to burn it all down for a round of applause.

Key Takeaways

• NYC’s socialist mayor has openly called for abolishing ICE.
