Reaching new depths of delusion, Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s response to Saturday night\u2019s anti-ICE riot outside a Brooklyn hospita<\/a>l was to bash the feds \u2014 and he wasn\u2019t even the worst.<\/p>\n

That prize likely goes to Brooklyn City Councilwoman Sandy Nurse, who denounced the NYPD for \u201ccoordinating with ICE\u201d in \u201cviolation of our sanctuary city laws\u201d simply because cops shut the riot down.<\/p>\n

Backtrack: Immigration agents arrested a visa-overstayer with a substantial criminal record; he was injured while resisting, so they took him to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center to get checked.<\/p>\n

Word somehow got to the radical anti-ICE network, whose members rushed to the scene and proceeded to block the hospital\u2019s emergency entrances and exits \u2014 endangering the lives of others seeking care as the \u201cprotesters\u201d tangled violently with the feds, injuring several agents and damaging multiple ICE vehicles.<\/p>\n

NYPD command issued a Level 6 mobilization, with cops eventually arresting nine rioters to restore the peace. <\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s next-day response: Bashing ICE<\/a> as \u201ccruel and humane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\tMore From\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPost Editorial Board<\/p>\n

Nurse, meanwhile, also denounced the arrest as a \u201ckidnapping.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sorry, Sandy: Federal law trumps your fever dreams. <\/p>\n

And the public fully supports arresting illegal immigrants who commit fresh crimes in this country. <\/p>\n

Rony Yahir Alvarenga Rivera, an illegal migrant who confessed<\/a> to the savage murder of two Long Island women, is a perfect example of who these anti-ICE flash mobs seek to protect from the feds.<\/p>\n

Yet the madness goes all the way to Albany, where Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic lawmakers are crafting new bans on local law-enforcement cooperation with ICE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t \u201csanctuary\u201d for people who simply jumped the border; it\u2019s tantamount to nullification of federal law-enforcement authority \u2014 and imperils law-abiding citizens at risk from MS-13, Tren de Aragua and other criminal migrant gangs.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an idea for New York Democrats: Find a way to indulge your compulsion for anti-Trump posturing without endangering New York\u2019s actual citizens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reaching new depths of delusion, Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s response to Saturday night\u2019s anti-ICE riot outside a Brooklyn hospital…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,303,304,2035,3410,2301,426,11538,238,774,9,24,63,103,299,4648,10227,82],"class_list":["post-220551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-crime","tag-editorial","tag-ice","tag-illegal-immigrants","tag-immigration","tag-kathy-hochul","tag-legislature","tag-murders","tag-nassau-county","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-opinion","tag-protests","tag-sanctuary-cities","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
