New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he won't allow the Trump administration to send federal immigration officers to World Cup soccer events.Mamdani expressed his displeasure at comments from border czar Tom Homan warning that the administration is planning a surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to New York City.'As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.'Mamdani responded by citing the contributions immigrants have made to World Cup events that are coming to New York City."Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants," the mayor wrote."We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment," he added. "As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us."Homan made the surge threat after accusing Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul of obstructing regular deportation operations in the state. "You’re going to see more ICE than you’ve ever seen in New York City, and it’s coming," Homan said Monday in an interview on Fox. "I just reviewed an operational plan. I’m not going to tell you exactly when it’s going to happen, but it’s coming."Mamdani has also criticized President Donald Trump for travel restrictions that have stymied some travelers trying to make it to the World Cup events in the U.S."This is anathema to what this tournament is supposed to be about if we cannot even allow the players and the teams and the journalists covering those teams to come into this city or this country, then it begs a larger question about our commitment to the spirit of this tournament," said Mamdani to the press during a FIFA promotional event. He went on to advocate for the abolition of ICE."ICE raids are cruel, they are inhumane," said Mamdani. "They do nothing to serve in the interests of public safety. ... ICE as an entity is one that should be abolished."RELATED: Video shows agitator threatening to KILL ICE agents and families — DOJ vows to arrest him The Department of Homeland Security issued a fiery response to Mamdani in a post on social media."Apparently [Mayor Mamdani] doesn’t think that arresting rapists, murderers, pedophiles, and assailants serves 'the interest of public safety.' While sanctuary politicians like Mamdani keep fighting for criminal illegal aliens, the heroic men and women of [ICE] will keep risking their lives to keep New Yorkers SAFE," the DHS account stated.Like Blaze News?

A military expert on Tuesday revealed new details emerging after Iran struck a United States Apache helicopter and how it "changes the entire situation" involving the ongoing conflict.After reports that a Shahed drone struck the helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz, and it was unclear whether the drone had initially targeted the Apache or if it was an inadvertent strike, Col. Peter Mansoor told CNN that it could change the response. "I really think that changes the entire situation because Shahed drones are not air-to-air drones," Mansoor said. "It could have been just an accident that the drone was aimed at something else and ran into the Apache, you know, by chance. But, if it was actually aimed at the helicopter, this would be a new use for this particular type of drone, which is really an air-to-surface, guided cruise missile rather than an air-to-air missile like Ukraine has developed."CNN anchor Brianna Keilar cited a recent CNN report that Iran had employed the ceasefire to help rebuild its drone supply and overall military industrial response — and asked Mansoor if that was reflected in the attack this week."Well, we never destroyed the entire drone capability of Iran in the first place," Mansoor said. "In fact, much of it survived. And they were able to dig out the collapsed tunnels and so forth, and reconstitute many of their launch platforms. So I'm not sure they're producing many new drones, but they are recovering those buried by initial strikes and getting them ready to launch. So there's no doubt that Iran today is more capable than it was when the ceasefire began. But it's going to take years for it to recover the sort of production capability that was lost during the airstrikes."
