Mamdani and Trump made nice. NYC immigrants are still on edge
  • New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani recently held a cordial meeting with former President Donald Trump at the White House, marking a significant shift in their previously contentious relationship. Despite the friendly tone of the meeting, many New Yorkers, particularly immigrants, continue to feel anxious about the implications of this political dynamic.
  • Mamdani's commitment to maintaining New York City's sanctuary status during this meeting is crucial for immigrant communities, as it reassures them of the city's protective stance amid ongoing national debates about immigration policies and enforcement.
  • The juxtaposition of Mamdani's positive engagement with Trump against his strong criticisms of the former president as a 'fascist' highlights the complexities of political alliances and the challenges faced by leaders in addressing the concerns of their constituents while navigating contentious political landscapes.
