Trump Threatens to Arrest NYC Democratic Mayoral Nominee Zohran Mamdani if He Blocks ICE

On July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump warned that he would have Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, arrested if he attempts to interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the city.
This threat followed Mamdani's victory over Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and his promise to stop ICE agents from deporting city residents.
Trump called Mamdani a "total nut job" and a "pure, true communist," warning the city would lose federal funding if Mamdani did not "behave himself."
Mamdani responded firmly, stating, "We will not accept this intimidation," and condemned Trump's comments as an attack on democracy aimed at silencing New Yorkers.
The confrontation highlights escalating tensions over immigration policy as Mamdani’s campaign gains momentum amid divided reactions across New York political circles.
