Trump Threatens to Arrest Mamdani if He Blocks ICE as NYC Mayor

Donald Trump has threatened to arrest Zohran Mamdani if he becomes the NYC mayor and interferes with ICE's work. Mamdani, who won the democratic primary, would need to win the general election in November to become mayor. Trump warned of cutting federal funds to NYC and arresting Mamdani if he does not cooperate with ICE as mayor. Trump made these remarks during an immigration roundtable at a Florida detention facility.

Trump stated that Mamdani's promise to defy ICE and protect criminal aliens would lead to his arrest. He referred to Mamdani as a communist and expressed concerns about his governance. Mamdani responded by accusing Trump of trying to distract from his advocacy for working people.

Trump emphasized that the NYC mayor must comply with federal policies, or face financial consequences. He mentioned other candidates in the race but did not publicly endorse anyone.
