Mamdani Drops Spanish-Language Video Telling Migrants to Keep the Door Shut on ICE, Sparking Cries of ‘Sedition’
26th October 2026
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted a Spanish-language video on Oct. 23 walking residents through what to do if immigration agents come to their door or stop them on the street, and Republicans reacted within hours. The clip went up on Instagram and X, according to Latin Times, and reaffirms the city’s sanctuary policies.
Mamdani told viewers that ICE needs a judicial warrant signed by a judge to enter a home, and that without one they can keep the door closed. In Mediaite’s translation, he tells them to look for the words “United States District Court” and a judge’s signature, and to say, “I do not consent to your entry.” If agents stop someone on the street, he says to ask, “Am I free to go?” He also urges viewers to speak with a lawyer before signing anything or making decisions about their immigration case.
Latin Times adds that the mayor says agents may misrepresent themselves or show official-looking papers that are not a court order, that everyone has the right to remain silent regardless of status, and that bystanders may film agents in public as long as they do not obstruct an arrest.

So a public figure who swore an oath to uphold The Constitution is actively encouraging and aiding violators of said Constitution? Isn’t there a term for that sort of thing? Like a special word lawyers use to describe that specific course of action, aiding an enemy of the country kinda thing?

I think the word you’re looking for is ‘treason’, and Mamdani sure has it in spades.
