Mamdani bucks SCOTUS ruling on deportation protection for Haitians, Syrians: ‘Not something we will ever accept’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has vowed to defy the US Supreme Court's decision that permits the Trump administration to remove deportation protections for Haitian and Syrian migrants. This ruling is seen as a major setback for vulnerable communities who had previously been shielded from deportation. Mamdani's strong opposition underscores the broader conflict between local officials and federal immigration policies, highlighting the significant role municipalities play in advocating for immigrant rights despite federal directives.
