U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him an illegal immigrant for opposing ICE operations. Mamdani countered that he has broken no laws and is only trying to protect city residents from a climate of fear. He described Trump’s threats as an attack on democracy. Meanwhile, Trump praised current New York Mayor Eric Adams, claiming Adams was politically targeted by the Biden administration for criticizing federal policies.
