Trump Threatens Arrest of NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Over Immigration Stance

Former President Donald Trump issued a direct threat to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a recent roundtable discussion held in Florida. The event focused on the proposed 'Alligator Alcatraz' migrant detention facility. Speaking from a podium, Trump stated, "We'll have to arrest him," referring to Mamdani. He further suggested that Mamdani might be in the United States illegally. This statement comes despite information indicating that Mamdani immigrated to New York City with his family when he was seven years old. Mamdani, a vocal critic of certain immigration policies, has previously stated his intention to defy ICE operations in New York City, particularly regarding the arrest of what he terms 'criminal aliens.' Trump's remarks appear to be a direct response to Mamdani's stance, escalating the rhetoric surrounding immigration and urban governance.
