DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin responds forcefully to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's criticism of ICE raids. Mullin calls Mamdani a 'socialist communist' with 'zero respect,' asserting that DHS will 'restore law' in American cities. He emphasizes that DHS will pursue criminals 'no matter where they're at,' including New York, despite local officials refusing to cooperate.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing firmly behind his fellow democratic socialist and candidate for U.S. Congress Darializa Avila Chevalier, despite vile deleted social media posts that recently resurfaced.
Avila Chevalier, 32, a longtime community organizer who led the anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, slammed the United States, the Democratic Party, private property, police, borders and called to nationalize large swaths of the private sector in the now-deleted posts from 2018 to 2022.
She is running a heated race to oust five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., in the state's 13th congressional district, which encompasses Upper Manhattan and parts of the west Bronx.

In a 2021 repost, Avila Chevalier said that abolishing borders, prisons and police is "possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward," and later echoed posts that said "all deportation is wrong" and, "Yes, literally abolish the border," according to one report.

"I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me," she reportedly said in yet another.
