In Minneapolis, incumbent Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey has defeated democratic socialist challenger Omar Fateh in the city’s ranked-choice voting election.
In New York, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani unveiled his all-female transition team in Queens Wednesday, which includes Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner under President Biden. Democracy Now! asked Mayor-elect Mamdani for his message to ICE agents abducting immigrants from 26 Federal Plaza for the last several months. This is his response.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani: “My message to ICE agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable. And there is, sadly, a sense that is growing across this country that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be the president or whether they be the agents themselves. And what New Yorkers are looking for is an era of consistency, an era of clarity, an era of conviction. And that is what we will deliver to them.”
