ICE is recruiting NYPD officers after Zohran Mamdani's victory

Source: CNN Politics

PUBLISHED Nov 7, 2025, 2:11 PM ET

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory to recruit police officers to leave the New York Police Department.

On Friday, ICE posted a recruitment message to social media calling on police officers to “Defend the Homeland” and “work for a President and a Secretary who support and defend law enforcement—not defund or demonize it.”

ICE’s message references Mamdani’s history of police criticism, including his past support for defunding the NYPD. In June 2020, Mamdani posted on X: “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD.”

CNN has reached out to Mamdani’s transition team for comment.

Maybe one of them can go undercover and find out what's really going on in ICE?
I don't know, it would be risky but it could happen.

They might be tempted to go to ICE but if they are not too far into the cult, they would say no because the NYPD pension is probably better.

They know what they are doing.
They have the Gestapo, here comes the SS!
I don't know if peace will win this nightmare.
I have read the book. We are only 10% in so far.
This needs to be "Nipped In The Bud!"
