Trump Threatens to Arrest NYC Democratic Mayoral Nominee Zohran Mamdani if He Blocks ICE
- On July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump threatened to have New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani arrested if he blocks ICE operations after touring a Florida migrant detention center.
- Trump threatened to have Mamdani arrested if elected and he acted on his pledge to prevent undercover ICE officers from carrying out deportations in the city, as well as his commitment to limit ICE’s role within New York City facilities.

- Mamdani rejected the threats as intimidation, calling them a direct attack on democracy, and vowed not to allow ICE deportations, indicating ongoing conflict ahead over immigration policy in New York City.
