This would make Mamdani and the rest of the unhinged moonbats very unhappy
(VNY) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the tip of the spear in President Trump’s mass deportation dragnet, has targeted specific communities within the five boroughs and flooded them with agents in recent days.
According to the immigrant advocacy group New York Immigration Coalition, the federal agency’s enforcement operations have increased across southwest Brooklyn and Cypress Hills, Upper Manhattan, and Staten Island. Make the Road New York warns that ICE has increased enforcement across northern Queens, from Elmhurst to College Point.
The warnings echo a threat from White House border coordinator Tom Homan in early May, when he said that if New York enacted legislation limiting cooperation with ICE, the administration would “flood the zone” with more ICE agents than New Yorkers had ever seen. The remarks came as Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers were advancing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, then pending legislation and now state law. The law bars local governments and law-enforcement agencies from entering into or maintaining 287(g) agreements, which authorize participating local officers to carry out specified federal immigration-enforcement functions for ICE.
Signs of the increased activity have been plentiful in recent weeks. Videos taken across the five boroughs made the rounds on social media in July, showing masked and armored federal officers on the streets, in larger groups than had previously been observed. One particular clip from Upper Manhattan went viral, showing one such agent spraying an elderly woman who was protesting, with no apparent justification. The protester, 72-year-old Linda Wolff, is now suing the officer.
They are definitely doing it different than previous operations. Can’t wait to see how many illegals with criminal records who were being protected get busted.

She pleaded guilty to a drug charge. Then she visited Mexico not knowing she couldn’t return
At her trial, there’s no question that Angela Hernandez signed a form acknowledging that she could be deported after a criminal conviction. An interpreter certified that they had translated the whole form and her attorney was confident Hernandez understood it.
But the California Supreme Court said in a ruling handed down Thursday that it’s not enough to check a form’s boxes — a defendant has to “meaningfully understand” the legal consequences of a plea deal. “Were it not for these errors,” the court found, “there is a reasonable probability that she would have rejected the plea offer and either attempted to negotiate a plea with less dire immigration consequences or taken her case to trial.”
Hernandez was charged with two drug offenses in Kern County in 2013. She was a citizen of Mexico but had been a legal permanent resident of the U.S. for 19 years. She was 55-years-old at the time of her arrest, with a father, husband, kids and grandkids in the U.S.
She was here for 19 years, yet, didn’t bother learning English, something we see quite often with people legally and illegally present in the U.S.
Even if California vacates her conviction, she could and should still be deported.
My CUNY campus LaGuardia has an ICE alert program which notifies all students if ICE tries to raid. The plan includes “safe spaces”where students can lock in Campus police will not assist. There are an estimated 5000 undocumented students among the 225000 total enrollment They are not eligible for Pell or state grants which together provide $5000 to each student over and above tuition. But private donations cover the entire tuition for all.
So woke!!
