Zohran Mamdani, in an interview on Morning Joe, says the city will not let city property or city agencies be used for ICE's civil immigration enforcement. He says the city is asking private parking lot owners to stop letting ICE stage operations on their lots, pointing to an agency "willing to open fire on a moving car in broad daylight right after school's let out."

What's the balance you've struck with ICE, with the NYPD, with this administration around that? Well, I think it continues to be attention with federal policy, because we've made clear to them that we are never going to assist them in civil immigration enforcement. We are not going to be a part of a deportation agenda in the way that they've built this administration. And what that means is we don't allow city property, we don't allow city agencies to be used in that fashion. We have executive orders we've put forward to that end. And we were also letting businesses know who own parking lots, that we want them to stop letting those parking lots be the site of where ICE is staging their locations and staging their enforcement. Because again, what we're talking about is a federal agency that is willing to open fire on a moving car in broad daylight right after school's let out.
