    1. What is the point of offering to do something that probably isn’t even remotely possible?

    2. IsawaShugenja on

      Umm… I’m damn happy he is running for mayor and I hope he wins, but this is stupid and performative. The NYPD cannot arrest someone who hasn’t committed a crime in New York, and Benny would have diplomatic immunity even if he did. He’s just sucking up to the base. He needs to only be talking about real shit he can do.

    3. Does he think that the opening scene of naked gun is actually how the city police department functions?

    4. …what? lol I have no beef with the guy but, like…what? This feels performative. They just gonna pop over to Israel real quick and hit a no knock warrant on him?

    5. I hope he wins, but this is political posturing. There’s no way he would be able to get him arrested.

      There’s someone who doesn’t understand how state and federal laws work -_-

      What NYC laws were violated? And when does a mayor, as opposed to police and prosecutors apply to judges for arrest warrants? A good candidate just trying to some dumb stuff…

      Count me among those who like this guy, hope he wins etc., but also find this fucking stupid. Shut up and focus on the economy, stupid.

    9. Cannot legally happen in NYC. It’s just more theater. The gullible believe that he is some kind of socialist messiah but in reality he is a Qatari stooge.

    10. Performative nonsense. Nothing like making dumbass statements to chase voters away.

    11. Come on, man. It’s a mayor’s office, not an international mercenary company.

    12. Trump will be sending his goons to New York to arrest Mandani on a made up crime to prevent him from becoming mayor.

      How come only Trump and his collaborators in Congress, Senate, and the Supreme Court get to break norms?

      A provision in the American Servicemembers Protection Act permits the arrest of individuals with ICC warrants. Why can’t the other side exploit loopholes for once?

      What is even going on in New York. Why are they even talking about I/P it’s a mayoral election, the city government has no bearing on what happens in a foreign conflict

    15. Wwwwaaaa…. huh? Since when was the NYPD a deplorable contingent? Did he mean he plans to have him arrested if he comes to the states?

      I have questions.

    16. What a foolish thing to say.

      Want to lose an election and hand the Republicans a win? Say stuff like this.

      His whole campaign was ‘I’ll fight for New Yorkers’. How is this fighting for New Yorkers?

      Democrats might have been wise to distance themselves from this guy.

    17. Please don’t jump the shark. A city mayor has no sway over foreign affairs of this magnitude no matter how much I would like to see this. I don’t want him approaching serious City agendas with unrealistic hopium.

    18. BiscoBiscuit on

      Anyone who thinks making this part of his campaign for NYC mayor is a good idea is delusional and living in fantasy land. Please wake up already.

      There is precedence he can do it.  The Ker–Frisbie doctrine is a legal principle stating that a court’s jurisdiction over a defendant is not diminished by the fact that the defendant was brought before the court through illegal or forcible abduction from a foreign country or another state. Established in Ker v. Illinois (1886) and reaffirmed in Frisbie v. Collins (1952), this rule holds that illegal apprehension does not invalidate a conviction or the court’s power to try the individual for their crime. 

      In United States v. Alvarez-Machain (1992), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the forcible abduction of a Mexican citizen by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents from Mexico did not violate the extradition treaty between the two countries or international law, and therefore did not prevent his trial in the United States. The Court held that the manner in which a defendant is brought before a court does not affect the court’s jurisdiction, a principle established in prior cases like Ker v. Illinois and Frisbie v. Collins. 

    20. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out for him. In NY.

      If I were a betting man, I would be looking to hedge right about now.

    21. I mean good, it’s the right thing to do. But Netanyahu has Diplomatic immunity as do many war criminals

    22. There is an arrest warrant out for him so. Guess he’s following the law. Republicans should celebrate right? Law and order?

      Idk why people say it’s performative. He’s basically saying he will follow international law and our obligations. Nothing wrong with that.

    23. SFShinigami on

      Okay I’m all for this, but…did he actually say that or is this NYT making crap up again?

    24. Ok, but won’t he run into diplomatic immunity issues? Also, if it’s on behalf of the ICC, unfortunately, the US didn’t ratify the treaty establishing it. Mamdani’s gonna have trouble fulfilling this promise, in my opinion

    25. obelix_dogmatix on

      great … more nonsensical promises. I guess fight nonsense with nonsense?
