In a moment when immigration enforcement has become one of the defining fault lines of American political life, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has staked out a position that challenges not only federal policy but the cautious instincts of his own party. Speaking from a city that has already moved to limit local cooperation with ICE, Mamdani argues that the cruelty he sees in immigration enforcement is not a flaw to be corrected but a feature to be dismantled. His wager is an old one in democratic politics: that governing well at the local level can make the radical seem reasonable.
