New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared he was "in support of abolishing ICE" during his appearance Tuesday on "The View."

"You know, I am in support of abolishing ICE, and I'll tell you why," Mamdani said as the audience applauded. "Because what we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, no matter the facts of the case.

"I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life," Mamdani continued. "What we need to see is humanity, and there is a way to care about immigration in this city and in this country with a sense of humanity. What we're seeing from ICE is not it, and we have not seen that from them in a long, long time."

Good's death sparked nationwide protests, with critics demanding more accountability for the agency or for it to be scrapped altogether. The Trump administration alleged that the ICE officer acted in self-defense and that Good was attempting to run the agent over with her car. 

"You know, it's really nice to have you here. You make sense," Goldberg told the mayor as the appearance concluded. 

"I just want to say, listen, if you can do what you say you can do, you will not only remake the city, but you may help remake the nation."

ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
