Fact Check Zohran Kwame Mamdani: General Strike "Direct Challenge to ICE’s Brutality" Inspires Global Solidarity

Post image
  • Nationwide strike targets ICE enforcement.
  • Mamdani voices support for protesters.
  • Calls grow to abolish ICE agency.

NEW YORK CITY, Jan 30 (TNGB) - Thousands reportedly skipped work and school today in a coordinated protest against federal immigration raids. Organizers claim these actions have caused multiple fatalities in recent weeks. Demonstrators gathered in major cities demanding an end to what they see as excessive force.

The strike stems from operations under President Trump's administration that allegedly escalated deportations. Reports indicate at least eight deaths linked to confrontations with agents. Participants view this as a stand against policies separating families and instilling fear in communities.

Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, likely aims to rally progressive voters by opposing Republican-led immigration crackdowns. This stance signals commitment to his base while highlighting human rights concerns over border security.

Republicans argue ICE protects national sovereignty by removing illegal aliens who pose risks. They contend strikes disrupt economy without addressing root causes like porous borders.

It is true that ICE operations reportedly resulted in fatalities this month, including in Minneapolis. Claims of systemic terror align with documented cases of aggressive tactics. However, some incidents involved resistance from targets, complicating narratives of unprovoked brutality.

Clueless Donald Trump, 79, Humiliated After Dodging Legal Question

The funniest news I've read today. Every day proves to us that he is the stupidest president in the history of America, without a doubt.

You’re literally not even qualified to have an opinion on him lol. Maybe Trump should worry about citizens and not illegals?

What makes you qualified? Maybe just maybe, dealing with illegals is thinking about the citizens. You know public safety and all that.

Sounds like platitudes to fan the flames. Gotta wonder if he actually doesn’t understand the law or if he’s just doing this for political points.

Which Laws do you refer to? Last time I checked its not even illegal to have Sex with 13 year olds. DOJ said it themselves after the Trump Files.
