Oh, Wittle Zohran Got So Mad Did He

Friday, January 16, 2026

Oh no. Somebody call a therapist, a spokesperson, and maybe a safe space — wittle Zohran got so mad.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in full-blown fury mode because federal immigration authorities committed the ultimate sin in progressive politics: they enforced the law. Calmly. Quietly. Professionally. Without asking permission from City Hall or consulting the feelings of the mayor first.

The offense? A New York City Council employee — unlawfully present in the United States — was detained by federal authorities during a routine immigration appointment. Not a raid. Not a sweep. Not a door kicked in at dawn. A routine appointment. The kind people voluntarily attend when they know immigration law still exists.

And Mamdani absolutely melted down.

Within minutes, the mayor was pounding his keyboard, declaring the arrest an “assault on our democracy.” Not on his agenda. Not on his politics. On democracy itself. Apparently, in Zohran Mamdani’s New York, democracy survives only when illegal aliens — including those with criminal records — are left alone and, ideally, placed on the public payroll.

Let’s stop pretending otherwise: Mamdani doesn’t just want to protect illegal aliens from deportation. He wants them employed by the city. With benefits. With job titles. Paid for by taxpayers who are expected to shut up and smile about it.

This wasn’t some faceless resident caught in a paperwork snafu. This was a city employee. And that’s why Mamdani is furious. Not because the law was violated — but because the law interrupted his narrative.

If Mayor Mamdani spent even half as much energy addressing crime, housing decay, public safety, and infrastructure failure as he does manufacturing outrage on social media, New York might actually benefit from his tenure.

Instead, New Yorkers get tantrums, tweets, and a mayor who appears genuinely shocked that the rule of law still applies — even when it’s inconvenient.

And that’s the real scandal.

Not that DHS enforced the law.

But that New York’s mayor can’t seem to handle the fact that someone else still believes in it.
