(Breitbart)  New York City’s Democratic Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is telling illegal immigrants in his area how to “stand up” to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (ICE) agents.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

The news comes as President Donald Trump’s administration has been working to safeguard American communities from illegal alien crime and as federal officials have been arresting the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens.

In a video posted Sunday, Mamdani talked about a recent ICE raid in Chinatown, adding when he officially becomes mayor he will protect all New York residents’ rights, the New York Post reported.

“And that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home. But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights,” he said, then gave points about avoiding ICE agents.

“ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge,” he explained, adding they had a right to keep their door shut:

“ICE is legally allowed to lie to you. But you have the right to remain silent. If you are being detained, you may always ask, ‘Am I free to go?’ repeatedly until they answer you. You are legally allowed to film ICE, as long as you do not interfere with an arrest,” Mamdani said, adding it was important for people to remain calm during interactions with police or ICE, not to run from them, to avoid resisting arrest, and to refrain from impeding their investigations.
