Zohran Mamdani Reacts to Minneapolis ICE Shooting, Vows to Uphold NYC Sanctuary Laws | APT

and what is driving this movement. And

so I will always have to get outside to make sure that this is a politics that reflects the rest of the city, not just the confines of this place.

>> We also saw what happened in Minneapolis and ICE Asia shot a woman uh directly and killed her instantly. Um and we know that in the previous administration there were a lot of run-ins with ICE in

the city where New Yorkers thought that NYPD officers were either protecting or assisting ICE agents. So, how can New Yorkers under your mayorship trust that

NYPD when those situations arise will be there to protect them and not to protect mass secret agents?

>> Well, I first just want to make clear that the news coming out of Minneapolis is horrific. This is

is horrific. This is one part of what has been a year full of cruelty. And we know that when ICE

cruelty. And we know that when ICE agents attack immigrants, they attack every single one of us across this country. And this is a city and will

country. And this is a city and will always be a city that stands up for immigrants across the five burrows. And

I have made it clear to everyone within my city government and that extends to NYPD that we are going to uphold our sanctuary city policies. We are going to

adhere to them. That is why one of the 11 executive orders that we signed was to repeal the previous administration's order to allow for collaboration with

ICE on Riker's Island. What we are going to be doing is following the laws that we have set, laws which have kept New Yorkers safe and we are going to make it clear to each and every person in this

city what their rights are. That's why

we took the time to make a know your rights video because it goes back to the earlier question. If you don't know of

earlier question. If you don't know of your rights, then how can you be expected to actually use those rights?

So, we are going to take every opportunity we have to inform New Yorkers of what they already can do and also to make it clear to our own city government agencies and departments

across the board, including NYPD, that we are not here to assist ICE agents in their work. We are here to follow the

their work. We are here to follow the laws of New York City. Thank you very much.

That's me. Hi, I'm so grateful to be here. Congratulations and thank you. U

here. Congratulations and thank you. U

my question is about government bureaucracy. You've addressed it before

bureaucracy. You've addressed it before as it pertains to small businesses and I appreciate you acknowledging that it is an issue um in the interviews you've done even before you were elected. I'm

curious now that you're in office, what bureaucratic incentives do you feel like are the biggest obstacles um for you and your agenda and what are you doing to address them?

You know, when in one of the earlier conversations I had with Lena Khan, she told me that when she got to the FTC, it felt like she was experiencing the great forgetting where people had grown

accustomed to forgetting the actual potency of the tools they had in front of them. And the challenge that that

of them. And the challenge that that represents is having to push past an answer of this is how things are done or this is how we've always done them and

instead ask what are we able to do? And

so what I've been so appreciative of is that we are building a team that is looking at these tools in the full sense of what they are able to accomplish as opposed to what they've been used to

accomplish for the past few years, the past few administrations. So even the references we've made to rental ripoff hearings or the city's intervention in a

bankruptcy court case against
