Was that a joke or just ignorance of what the term means?Putting politics aside, how exactly would the defiance of a single mayor trigger a "constitutional crisis".
"...A constitutional crisis [occurs] when political branches openly defy each other or the foundational rules of the nation's constitution are rendered ineffective..."
SCOTUS has ruled that constitutionally these aliens have no protected status and thus are liable to deportation. Mamdani is openly defying this, and promising to ignore both federal law and the rulings of the judicial branch, by shielding them from deportation. Still worse, other prominent Democrats are siding with him, threatening to spread the insurrection to other areas.
