In an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday, Democratic Socialist mayor Mamdani was pressed by reporter Bream on which parts of the DSA platform he thinks ordinary Americans would support. When asked about the most acceptable policy to mainstream America, Mamdani responded, “Look, I think the thing that is most acceptable to mainstream America is abolishing ICE and making sure we have humanity back in our immigration enforcement.”
Mamdani refuses to condemn abolishing prisons, border, and jails.
Bream followed with a rapid-fire series of questions drawn from DSA positions, asking whether Mamdani wanted to get rid of borders, the Supreme Court, or jails. In each case, he said “No.” When Bream asked if the DSA would kick him out for those answers, Mamdani laughed and said “No.”
“Get rid of borders?” “No.” “Get rid of SCOTUS?” “No.” “Get rid of jails?” “No.”
Mamdani also told Bream that while there is often disagreement among multiple socialists in a room, what unites them is a belief in the “dignity of working-class people.” He has repeatedly called for abolishing ICE both before and after taking office, describing the agency as “rogue,” “reckless,” and operating with impunity. He has also signed executive orders reinforcing New York City’s sanctuary policies that limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
