A Fox News ride-along with ICE in Brooklyn put the agency’s account of its arrests on the record. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Ayanna Pressley want ICE abolished, and Fox’s article carries no response from the city.

Left: what Republicans say, in their own words. Right: the same for Democrats. Middle: the record. The record is not a third opinion. We check claims from both sides against documents and data and give each one a verdict. What the verdicts mean
“100% all of this is about politics.”
Ken Genalo · ICE enforcement chief, New York City · Nov. 6 · Fox News
Restore jail transfers. Genalo says ICE once took over 100 people a week from Rikers Island.
Put sanctuary policy to a public vote, in Genalo’s words, let residents decide.
Talk with the mayor. Genalo says both sides have the same job to do.
Sanctuary laws release people with criminal records back onto the street and force agents into riskier street arrests, so voters should decide the policy. (Based on Genalo’s account, which Fox did not independently verify.)

What the record shows{{c.finding}}
“Democrats, when we have the power, you have to use it.” (on using power, including abolishing ICE)
Pressley: abolish ICE and take its funding.
Mamdani: abolish ICE and oppose its enforcement operations, Fox reports.
Mamdani: tell residents how to respond to agents, in a Spanish-language video.
ICE has gone too far and should be ended, with its funding redirected, while local leaders protect residents. (Based on Pressley and Mamdani as reported by Fox. Neither is quoted at length in our sources.)
