[Video] Zohran mamdani Goes Ballistic after ICE arrests his top Aide
NEW YORK CITY — The simmering conflict between New York City's radical sanctuary policies and federal immigration law has finally erupted into open warfare, leaving the administration of newly inaugurated Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a state of absolute chaos.
Mayor Mamdani has reportedly gone "ballistic" and launched a furious public tirade after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents executed a targeted arrest of a City Council staffer on Long Island. The incident has exposed a massive vetting failure within City Hall.
While the mayor and his allies are attempting to frame the arrest as a political attack, federal authorities have revealed a starkly different reality involving visa fraud and violence. The staffer was not merely an undocumented immigrant; he was a criminal offender.
"ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY" OR ASSAULT ON LAW?
Mamdani did not mince words, immediately taking to X (formerly Twitter) to express his fury while conveniently ignoring the legal facts of the situation. He framed the lawful detention of a visa violator as an existential threat to the city's governance.
"I am outraged... This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values," Mamdani wrote, demanding the staffer’s immediate release. Council Speaker Julie Menin joined the chorus, claiming the employee was authorized to work until 2026.
"We are doing everything we can to secure his immediate release," Menin stated. However, the narrative of a victimized public servant collapsed almost instantly when federal authorities released the detainee's actual background and criminal history.
THE TRUTH: VISA FRAUD AND VIOLENCE
The detainee, identified as Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, is a Venezuelan national with a troubling history that City Hall either missed or ignored. According to federal authorities, Bohorquez entered the U.S. in 2017 on a tourist visa and never left.
Officials confirmed that he had "no legal right to be in the United States." Even more damning is the revelation that Bohorquez had a prior arrest for assault, a fact that seemingly did not disqualify him from obtaining a sensitive position as a "data analyst."
While Mamdani screams about "democracy," ICE was simply doing its job: removing a foreign national who violated his visa terms and had a criminal history involving violence. The contrast between the mayor's rhetoric and the staffer's record is glaring.
A MASSIVE FAILURE OF VETTING
The arrest raises serious questions about the competence of City Hall's hiring practices. How did an individual with an active deportation status and a documented assault record get hired and paid with taxpayer money to work in the City Council?
Critics argue this is a massive vetting failure driven by ideology. In their rush to signal virtue and defy federal law, city officials seemingly bypassed basic background checks, using public funds to employ those who have broken federal statutes.
This incident underscores the panic among Democrat leaders. For years, they believed they could shield illegal immigrants from consequences. But under the new administration, a City Hall ID badge is no longer a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Mamdani can file petitions and scream about values, but the rules have changed. As long as federal law reigns supreme, his "values" of harboring criminals will continue to lose against the value of public safety and the rule of law.
'Guilty Of Fraud' - Hammer Dropped On Former First Lady Jill Biden During Live Fox News Segment
McEnany Accuses Jill Biden Of Misleading Americans About Debate Performance
Posted July 15, 2026
Former White House press secretary and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany accused former first lady Jill Biden of misleading the American public about President Joe Biden’s condition following his widely criticized debate performance during the 2024 campaign.
McEnany made the remarks Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” where she reacted to comments Jill Biden reportedly made in her upcoming book regarding the president’s performance during the debate that ultimately intensified questions about his age and fitness for office.
The discussion began when co-host Dana Perino referenced remarks Jill Biden made immediately following the debate.
At a campaign event after the debate, Jill Biden praised her husband’s performance.
“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” she said at the time.
Perino contrasted those comments with more recent claims attributed to Jill Biden and raised questions about the apparent inconsistency.
“So now we know that this is what she’s saying in her book,” Perino said. “And the question I would love to ask her is where are you lying then or now?”
McEnany responded by arguing that Jill Biden’s reaction following the debate was inconsistent with her more recent descriptions of the event.
“It’s a great question,” McEnany said.
“That is not the reaction of someone who believes they just watched their husband have a stroke. It is an absolute lie.”
McEnany then accused the former first lady of concealing concerns about the president’s condition from voters.
“It was fraud,” she said.
“What she did fraud on the American public and she’s continuing it by saying she had never seen him like that before or after.”
The debate between Biden and President Donald Trump became a turning point in the 2024 election cycle, with many Democrats publicly expressing concern about Biden’s performance and his ability to continue his campaign.
Questions about Biden’s age and mental sharpness had circulated for years, but the debate intensified those concerns and fueled calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
During the Fox News discussion, McEnany referenced comments previously made by veteran journalist Carl Bernstein regarding Biden’s condition behind the scenes.
“Dana, you all remember Carl Bernstein, who said he talked to people who knew Joe Biden, loved Joe Biden, supported Joe Biden, and they were adamant that what we saw was not a one-off,” McEnany said.
According to McEnany, Bernstein reported that individuals close to Biden had observed similar episodes before the debate.
“They said it had happened 15 or 20 times prior, him losing his train of thought,” she said.
McEnany also cited a fundraiser Bernstein reportedly described.
“He described a fundraiser where he froze up and seemed to have some type of rigor mortis,” she said.
“This is not something that was a one-off.”
McEnany argued that concerns about Biden’s condition were widely known among those close to him.
“This was well known,” she said.
She then questioned why Jill Biden continued publicly defending her husband following the debate.
“So why did she keep up with the fraud on the American people?” McEnany asked.
The former first lady has repeatedly defended her husband and rejected claims that she or members of his inner circle concealed concerns about his health, Breitbart News reported.
The debate over Biden’s condition became one of the defining political stories of the 2024 election cycle and continued after he ultimately left the race.
McEnany’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny surrounding what Biden’s family, advisers and top Democratic officials knew about his condition and when they knew it.
Neither Jill Biden nor representatives for the former president immediately responded to McEnany’s latest remarks.
As new books and accounts from those involved continue to emerge, questions surrounding Biden’s final campaign and the decisions made by those closest to him remain a major topic of political debate.
