US EditionMamdani slams Trump arrest threat: ‘If you speak up, they will come for you’
- On Tuesday, July 1, President Donald Trump warned that he would have Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani arrested if Mamdani follows through on his promise to prevent ICE immigration enforcement actions in New York City.
- This threat followed Mamdani's unexpected primary victory over Andrew Cuomo and his pledge to use city authority to stop ICE agents from deporting undocumented migrants.
- Mamdani, a 33-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in Uganda and Democratic Socialist assemblyman, condemned Trump's remarks as an attack on democracy and intimidation against New Yorkers.
- Trump confirmed he would arrest Mamdani if he defied ICE, while New York Governor Kathy Hochul condemned the threat on social media, saying it picks a fight with 20 million New Yorkers.
- Mamdani's primary win sets up a four-way race including incumbent Eric Adams running as an independent and Republican Curtis Sliwa, with Mamdani potentially becoming New York City's first Muslim mayor.
