Communist NY Mayor, Universal Injunctions, & Crucifixion: EP 35

1. Zohran Mamdani Wins NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary

Zohran Mamdani, 33, a democratic socialist, won NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary in June 2025, making him the frontrunner to become the city’s first Muslim mayor.

His campaign centered on housing and affordability but faced Islamophobic attacks and death threats.

Mamdani’s support for BDS has drawn mixed reactions—some Jewish voters expressed concern, while leaders like Schumer and Nadler endorsed him.

2. Supreme Court Lifts Deportation Notice Rule

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a lower court order requiring 15 days’ notice for deportations to third countries, restoring a Trump-era policy.

Advocates called the decision dangerous for migrants facing torture or abuse; DHS called it a win for public safety.

The broader due process challenge is still pending in federal court.

3. Pastor Crucified in Arizona by Religious Extremist

Adam Sheafe, 51, confessed to killing Pastor Bill Schonemann, 76, in New River, AZ, on April 28, 2025, in a ritualistic attack called “Operation First Commandment.”

Sheafe, with “Yahweh” tattooed on his neck, placed a crown of thorns on the pastor and nailed his hands to a wall, claiming Christian leaders were “misleading the flock.”

He planned to kill 14 more pastors across 10 states but was caught in Sedona after a chase; evidence in his stolen car linked him to the murder.
