Zohran Mamdani Probably Won't Be New York City's Mayor
- Zohran Mamdani, a New York state assemblyman, won the Democratic mayoral primary on December 17, 2024, in New York City, defeating Andrew Cuomo by nearly eight points.
- Mamdani's campaign faced scrutiny and calls for deportation by Rep. Andy Ogles, who requested a DOJ investigation into Mamdani's citizenship based on alleged ties to the Holy Land Foundation, prompting Mamdani to deny being a communist or socialist.
- Mamdani's campaign received significant support from left-wing legal groups and immigrant advocacy organizations, including donations from lawyers and staffers at Legal Services NYC, the Legal Aid Society, Brooklyn Defender Services, and the New York Immigration Coalition.
- These organizations, which offer free legal aid to immigrants facing deportation, are part of a coordinated effort criticized for encouraging resistance to ICE and have drawn federal scrutiny, including an undercover video showing training to evade immigration agents.
- Mamdani became the presumptive Democratic nominee amidst ongoing protests and political tension in New York, suggesting continued debate over immigration, legal aid funding, and city cooperation with federal enforcement.
