US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory to recruit police officers to leave the New York Police Department.

On Friday, ICE posted a recruitment message to social media calling on police officers to “Defend the Homeland” and “work for a President and a Secretary who support and defend law enforcement—not defund or demonize it.”

ICE’s message references Mamdani’s history of police criticism, including his past support for defunding the NYPD. In June 2020, Mamdani posted on X: “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD.”

CNN has reached out to Mamdani’s transition team for comment.

Moving some of the worst and dimmest out in the short term.

4. Most New Yorkers vote blue, and I'm sure that includes a high percentage of the police

Maybe one of them can go undercover and find out what's really going on in ICE?
I don't know, it would be risky but it could happen.

14. LOL are you serious?

You think a high percentage of NYPD officers are Democrats?

15. Unfortunately I'd say a majority of the NYPD are drumphf fans

I'm a NYC'r.
A lot of police live in Staten Island. That Burrough didn't go for Mamdani.

7. Those that would take it are exactly the ones...

that the NYC police department needs to be rid of.

[Sanity Claws]

8. Lots of NYPD actually live in red suburbs on Long Island

They might be tempted to go to ICE but if they are not too far into the cult, they would say no because the NYPD pension is probably better.

[BidenRocks]

9. Inciting A Riot!

They know what they are doing.
