In deep blue urban areas like New York City, which is fresh off electing a socialist mayor of Muslim faith, all signs point to illegal immigration serving as the lifeblood of today\u2019s Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Democrats are growing bolder by the day when it comes to preventing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from carrying out its duties to enforce U.S. immigration laws, in some cases even calling on local law enforcement officials to obstruct justice by alerting communities when ICE is engaged in an enforcement action.<\/p>\n

In the Big Apple, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is leaning on private New York City garage and parking lot owners to block ICE agents from using their property, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am asking that you do not rent, lend, or otherwise make your property available to ICE as a staging area for its enforcement operations,\u201d Mamdani wrote in a letter. \u201cMake it known to ICE that it is not authorized to use your garages and lots.\u201d<\/p>\n

More from the newspaper:<\/p>\n

Mamdani explained the ways in which the Big Apple blocks ICE from using its property for staging enforcement operations \u2014 in line with the city\u2019s sanctuary policies, which bar cooperation with federal immigration enforcement \u2014 and flat-out asked garage owners to fall in line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese laws govern City property, not the private lots and garages that you operate. That is why we need your help,\u201d the draft reads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The letter went out Friday, with Mamdani leading a coalition of more than 100 elected officials urging private parking lot and garage owners across New York City to refuse ICE\u00a0 requests to use their properties as staging areas for enforcement operations, ABC 7 reported.<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries were among those who signed off on the radical action.<\/p>\n

Last week, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined with fellow Democrats<\/a> to demand a \u201cfull and independent investigation\u201d into ICE agents shooting a suspected illegal immigrant gang banger in the Bronx after he allegedly tried to ram their vehicles. Unknown to the agents, there was a 5-year-old boy in the car \u2014 he was unharmed.<\/p>\n

AOC named the Target Corporation, saying the retailer \u201cmust stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTarget opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk,\u201d the democratic socialist claimed.<\/p>\n

The retail giant pushed back by setting the record straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cTarget has no cooperative agreements with ICE or any other immigration enforcement agency,\u201d a Target spokesperson told American Wire, noting that a variety of other businesses use the same parking lot.<\/p>\n
