Mamdani: Abolishing ICE Is the Most ‘Acceptable’ Part of DSA Platform to ‘Mainstream America’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said that of all the platform items belonging to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), of which he is a member, the most “acceptable part” for “mainstream America” is abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In an interview recorded Wednesday night and aired on Sunday, Mamdani spoke with Fox News’s Shannon Bream, who pointed to various DSA policy items that Americans may not favor. She asked what part of the platform the mayor thinks is acceptable to mainstream Americans.

“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 responded.

Bream ran through other DSA policy proposals with the mayor, including the abolition of the Supreme Court, prisons and borders — all of which Mamdani said “no” to.

“So, do you think DSA’s going to kick you out?” Bream asked the mayor as he smiled back. “It sounds like you’re not aligned with some of the core things they really want to get done.”
