The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 12-08-25
from The Rita Cosby Show · host 77 WABC
Before even taking office, Mamdani released a video instructing illegal immigrants on how to actively defy and refuse cooperation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Mamdani claims that ICE can lie, that they can remain silent, and that they are not required to open their doors without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Critics argue this radical stance is vilifying ICE, questioning their authority, and constitutes aiding and abetting or obstruction. Rita predicts a looming "showdown Royale" between Mamdani and President Trump, who may withhold federal funds if the mayor fails to cooperate with federal authorities. Rita Cosby scrutinizes Mamdani's highly controversial appointments, including placing an ex-con rapper convicted of two armed robberies on his criminal justice reform committee.
