Zohran Mamdani says he's told Trump that ICE is a "cruel agency" that should be abolished: "I think I need to continue to be honest with the president, and that honesty is in places of disagreement. I’ve spoken to him directly about how I think of ICE as a cruel agency that does nothing to serve the interest of public safety."

00:00I think the fear has always been that something like what happened in Minneapolis, something like
00:05what happened in Los Angeles is going to come to New York City. Do you feel like you need to
00:12stay on his good side in some ways to prevent that from happening? Or is that a risk?
00:17I think I need to continue to be honest with the president. And that honesty is
00:21in places of disagreement. I've spoken to him directly about how I think of ICE as a cruel
00:27agency that does nothing to serve the interests of public safety. And I've spoken about how I think
00:32that ICE should be abolished. We should have an immigration system that has humanity at the heart
00:36of it. And also, the president, he is a New Yorker. In that first meeting, as much as we were
00:44having
00:44a conversation as the mayor and the president, we were also having a conversation as two New Yorkers,
00:49even at one point talking about community boards and zoning laws.
