New York politics certainly has its boogeymen this Halloween \u2013 though who depends on who you ask. For the left, that boogeyman is President Donald Trump, and for the right, that\u2019s New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But if neither of those are your cup of tea, New York politics never fails to provide plenty of entertainment \u2013 and therefore, Halloween costume ideas. Here\u2019s some inspiration for this spooky season.<\/p>\n

Whether this is celebratory or scary is in the eye of the beholder, but if you get some ice packs, fake money and bundle up for the cold, you\u2019ll be paying tribute to the policy New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani championed on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n
Pied-\u00e0-terre letter<\/p>\n

Protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this Halloween with a nod to this woman who stood in front of an ICE armored vehicle last year. Find a black and white polka dot dress and flip everyone the bird for good measure.<\/p>\n
