I look forward to your cooperation," he concluded. Last month, Mamdani and other New York Democratic leaders pushed for private parking lot owners in the city to block ICE from their properties.“In solidarity with immigrant New Yorkers and in our shared commitment to the City we love, we ask that you do not rent, lend or otherwise make your property available to ICE as a staging area for its enforcement operations,” the mayor wrote in a letter to owners and operators of these properties.

He told the public to “look for the words ‘United States District Court’ and the judge’s signature” on the document, and suggested asking ICE agents to “pass the order under the door.” "If they don’t have a judicial order, you can leave the door closed and say, ‘I do not consent to your entry,’" Mamdani said.
