Zohran’s anti-ICE PSA: Letters to the Editor — Dec. 12, 2025

The Issue: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s video telling illegal immigrants how to avoid ICE detention.

Exactly who is Zohran Mamdani offering advice to (“Zoh’s ‘rights’ and wrongs,” Dec. 8)?

It’s one thing to alert law-abiding citizens of their legal rights, but it’s a whole other thing to tip off lawbreakers on how to avert capture.

I think it’s wrong for Zohran Mamdani to advise New York’s illegal immigrants to not cooperate with ICE agents. I’m surprised he’s giving this advice after just meeting with President Trump.

I became a naturalized US citizen in 1969. I am originally from County Cork in Ireland. I also proudly served in the US military.

This country has been very good to me. It would be nice if some of New York’s illegal immigrants considered cooperating with ICE.

New Yorkers might have the constitutional right to protest. But they cannot deny the rest of us our right to know who has entered our country so that we can keep citizens safe and deport those who entered illegally.

Illegal immigrants are not New Yorkers. They may live among us in the city, but many are still not vetted. We have no knowledge of their background.

Mamdani is the ultimate con artist. He pretends to be for the people when, in fact, he’s leaving us open to lawbreakers.

Mamdani’s credentials are impeccable for today’s Democrat Party.

If the Democrats placed an ad in the classifieds looking for a New York City mayor, it would include lines like this: “Do you enjoy screaming at ICE agents? If so, we may have the job for you.”

So Mamdani says, “ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.”

But some undocumented migrants can’t be arrested by ICE because no one knows what name to put on the warrant.

By this logic, a crime victim on the street couldn’t call the cops for help unless he can provide the name of the alleged criminal, so the cops can go to a judge and get a warrant.

The Issue: Fury at Defense Secretary Pete Hegeth over a double strike on a suspected drug boat.

It’s sickening how Democrats have come down on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (“Pete: I’d strike, too,” Dec. 8).

Democrats, liberals and progressives should be celebrating the crackdown on these deadly drugs reaching our shores. Think of how many parents would be spared the dreaded loss of a child from drug use.

Still, Democrats continue to protect the criminals and use any excuse to attack Hegseth and our president. Shame.

Let me get this straight: It’s OK to bomb a suspected drug boat that could be filled with enough cocaine or fentanyl to devastate hundreds of Americans, but it’s not OK to hit that same vessel again?

This kind of ivory tower “tut-tutting” reflects the growing number of journalists and politicians with no military experience. If we’re going to start pulling punches against vicious cartels, we should throw in the towel now.

John Fortugno

Democrats seem to think that narcoterrorists on the high seas with boatloads of drugs are not a threat to our military or our citizens.

Where do these morons think these boats are headed? When someone asks, “how stupid can you get?” don’t take it as a challenge.
