US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will continue to fight illegal immigration in New York after the inauguration of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt stated this while commenting on the meeting between US President Donald Trump and the elected mayor.
"Of course, we will continue mass deportations of illegal criminals. ICE will continue to operate in New York. This was discussed in the Oval Office today.
President Trump never compromises his principles, but he is always ready to work with people who want to make this country great again," he said in an interview with Fox News.
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani previously announced that the city's police will not cooperate with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
