The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a pair of clean immigration wins last week, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani responded by announcing he would ignore them. Now Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is sounding the alarm.
The Court ruled 6-3 Thursday in Mullin v. Doe to allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants. This ruling set off predictable outrage from the progressive wing of the party. Mamdani was first out of the gate. In a video statement, he declared the decision "cruel" and invoked the specter of the Haitian Revolution to frame deportation enforcement as a betrayal of universal freedom.
"To have people who frankly taught the world about freedom have their own freedom put into jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and federal administration - it is not only cruel, it's not something we will ever accept," Mamdani said. "The Supreme Court just sparked one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. In one fell swoop, thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home."
He went on to reassure migrants that New York City would not comply with the ruling.
"To the tens of thousands of New Yorkers with TPS who are watching the news, frightened about what comes next, hear me clearly: New York City is your home. You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you," Mamdani said. "You will not face this cruelty alone. This administration will stand alongside immigrant New Yorkers today, tomorrow, and every day that follows."
These are not ambiguous rulings with room for creative local interpretation. The Supreme Court made its ruling, and Mamdani's position is that he can ignore it just because he doesn't like it.
Its funny that the most well-reasoned democrat is the one with brain damage.
It's ironic
And wears shorts and a hoodie on the Senate floor
Compare the look of the current Fetterman with that immediately post stroke. They are NOT the same. The earlier one could not put two coherent sentences together. This one is more articulate, and makes sense. The current one is either wearing a mask or replaced with one similar in appearance, who continued the sweatshirt/short wearing persona. There will come a time when people are sick of the stolen elections, people “placed” in office, the indoctrination and blatant disregard of morality(men in women's sports, pedophilia, pornography, trans behaviors, bath houses, LGBQT shit, and Pride naked parades), Muslim takeover, etc. that some will take action in their own hands.People haven’t quite reached the precipice yet.
Momdummy about to FO. Go ahead and defy SCOTUS asshole. Hopefully you will be deported along with the other TPS violaters
"We will not turn our backs on you" Wanna bet?
Is Mamdani "Mystic Dan"? Also, is there a TPS report flair?
