Amid an intensified ICE crackdown under former President Donald Trump, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced plans to expand universal childcare benefits to include all immigrants. The proposal signals a sharp policy contrast, emphasizing inclusion and social support as federal enforcement actions increase nationwide. <br /> <br />Mamdani argues that access to childcare is essential for working families, regardless of immigration status, and says the move will strengthen communities and the local economy. Critics question funding and legality, while supporters say the plan protects children from the fallout of immigration enforcement and reflects New York City’s long-standing sanctuary values. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />#NYC #ZohranMamdani #Trump #ICE #Immigration #UniversalChildcare #BreakingNews #USPolitics #PolicyClash #ImmigrantRights #SanctuaryCity #CityHall #SocialPolicy #ChildcareForAll #PoliticalNews #America #CivicDebate<br /><br />~HT.318~ED.194~
