The DSA just proved on Sunday that extremist Democrats will never be satisfied. That’s because they need to justify their own existence as a political movement. Look at how ridiculous their demands are. The Democratic Socialists of America, a national organization that openly calls for abolishing ICE and shrinking police departments, is now demanding that Mayor Mamdani fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, use every power available to drive ICE out of New York City, and abolish the Strategic Response Group and Community Response Team. Mamdani is a longtime dues-paying member of the DSA. So are AOC and Hasan Piker, along with a growing list of other extremist Democrats who treat the group as their political home. Mamdani has no authority to expel a federal agency. ICE operates under the Department of Homeland Security. Local officials can limit cooperation through sanctuary policies, but they cannot order federal agents to leave. The DSA knows this. They’re using an impossible demand to pressure one of their own members into further weakening the NYPD while looking radical to their base. This is the chaos socialists want for American cities. They push to abolish specialized police units that handle protests and high-risk situations, fire commissioners who won’t play along, and treat federal immigration enforcement as the real enemy. New York City is already a case study in what happens when that ideology gains power. Crime, disorder, and open hostility to law enforcement follow. The rest of the country should not have to import the same experiment. Mamdani still calls the DSA his political home and still pays dues. Now the organization is publicly ordering him to purge the police department and pretend he can override federal law. That’s not governing. It’s ideology first, public safety never. Other Democrats who remain members of the same group are signaling the same priorities. Socialism is already in America and trying to wreak as much havoc as possible while it has power. Some people say let cities like NYC fall so they learn the hard way. There’s logic to that reasoning. But taking your kickball and leaving doesn’t actually defeat the opposing team of lunatics. Better consistent play does. Continue to have ICE carry out their duties in NYC and save as much of the city as possible. That’s the job and fulfilling it is the win regardless of the outcome.
