Mamdani Urges Democrats to Abolish ICE, Says Party Lost Focus on Working People

Summary
Zohran Mamdani said in a June 1 interview that Democrats have "lost" their focus on working people and need clearer answers on rent, housing, gas and grocery costs.
On MS NOW, the New York City mayor also urged the party to adopt his "uncompromising" call to abolish ICE, tying immigration politics to a broader economic message.
Mamdani framed that shift as a return to the party's New Deal roots and "four freedoms," arguing Democrats were once more openly centered on workers.
The first-year mayor, elected last year as a Democrat, has repeatedly stressed that he will govern as a democratic socialist, signaling he wants that approach to shape the party beyond New York.
