Trump threatens to arrest anti-Israel NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani

The brash and tough-talking President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump has threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

He made the threat when asked at a press briefing about Mamdani’s plan to oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities in New York City.

Trump warned that Mamdani’s stance against ICE would lead to his arrest.

“We’ll have to arrest him,” Trump says. “We don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.”

“We send him money, we send him all the things that he needs to run a government,” Trump said.

“We’re going to be watching that very carefully and a lot of people are saying he’s here illegally. We’re going to look at everything and ideally he’s going to turn out to be much less than a communist but right now he’s a communist, that’s not a socialist,” he added.

Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents and became a US citizen in 2018. He is a member of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America party that has made anti-Israel activism one of its planks.

Moreover, President Trump praised New York City Mayor Eric Adams, with whom he has friendly ties, calling him “a very good person.”

Adam will compete against Mamdani in the city’s general election in November.

Trump dismissed corruption allegations against Adams as a “phony indictment,” referencing the dismissal of federal corruption charges in April.
