NYC Mayor-Elect Makes Wild Vow, Says City Subject to International Law

It’s worse than you’d imagine. One of America’s most prominent cities appears ready to surrender its law enforcement apparatus to the whims of international tribunals. The willingness of certain politicians to subordinate U.S. law to overseas courts doesn’t just represent bad judgment. It amounts to a betrayal of their oath of office.

Brace yourself for this one…

Mamdani replied, “so I’ve said time and time again that I believe this is a city of international law. And being a city of international law means looking to uphold international law. And that means upholding the warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC), whether they’re for Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin. I think that that’s critically important to showcase our values.”

“And, unlike Donald Trump, I’m someone who looks to exist within the confines of the laws that we have. So I will look to exhaust every legal possibility, not to create my own laws.”

These words from New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani aren’t just delusional grandstanding—they constitute a wholesale rejection of American sovereignty. Yup, he actually said this out loud. By declaring his intention to enforce International Criminal Court warrants, Mamdani essentially announces he’ll ignore U.S. law in favor of directives from an international body that the United States has explicitly refused to join.

His statement means his city doesn't wan or need doj funding
@MarineBob It's an interesting Idea, but you are six months too late. In April, Pam Bondi cut $820 million in DoJ funding that used to go to policing, crime prevention, public safety programs, etc.

BTW, NYC wasn't the only victim of these cuts; police depts everywhere are dealing with tRump's crime prevention cuts. But don't worry, the billionaires got their tax cuts; that's the important thing, right??

The Justice Department revoked funding for the Maine Department of Corrections over the state’s placement of a transgender woman in a women’s prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.

Bondi made the announcement during an interview with Fox News, saying the department pulled all “nonessential” funding from the state corrections department on Monday after federal officials learned “a guy” was serving time in one of the state’s two women’s facilities. Bondi said the inmate was convicted of murder.

The loss in funding for the department totaled upward of $1.5 million,

@ElwoodBlues LOL, wadda ya bet those sanctuary citys regret their decision to harbor criminal illegal aliens, eh
@sunsporter1649 How do you know, without a court finding, they're not asylum seekers, that they're "illegal"??
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@ElwoodBlues You gonna try and bullschiff us into believing all them 25,000,000 illegal aliens imported by land, sea, and air were properly vetted and vaxxed?
@sunsporter1649 You should know by now that your attempts to put words in my mouth always fail.

I'm saying you can't sort out the asylum seekers from the "illegals" without a court finding. And I'm not the only one saying it; SCOTUS and the Constitution agree. Do you need me to quote those decisions AGAIN???
