Trump and Mamdani are on a collision course about ICE at the World Cup
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?

Trump prosecutor vows CA election charges within 'two months' — as he begs for evidence
The federal prosecutor leading California's election fraud investigations appeared on Glenn Beck's show Monday to announce imminent charges — then pleaded with the public to help him find the evidence to bring them.First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, the number-two federal prosecutor in the Central District of California, told Beck that election fraud charges are coming — "one to two months, I believe" — before pivoting to ask the conservative host's audience for help."What we need right now are witnesses," Essayli said in the interview. "If you've witnessed anything… we wanna know about that."The announcement fits a pattern. On June 5 — one day after President Donald Trump alleged without evidence that California's primary was being rigged — Essayli announced his office had "multiple" probes underway. He then accused California of blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls, part of an ongoing DOJ lawsuit against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber (D). On Monday, Essayli hedged his own timeline even as he announced it."I hate to put timelines on things," he told Beck, "but one to two months, I believe. We need some of these results to be certified so we can prove some of the allegations."Then came the ask."I know people have theories and they have ideas," Essayli added. "What we need right now are witnesses."It's a striking posture for a prosecutor promising imminent charges. Essayli's credibility carries its own baggage: a federal judge previously ruled that he had illegally served as acting U.S. Attorney, having remained in office beyond his interim appointment without congressional approval. He now holds the title of First Assistant U.S. Attorney.None of that dampened his confidence Monday. Charges are coming, he insisted — just as soon as someone tells him what happened.
