Trump Threatens to Arrest NYC Democratic Mayoral Nominee Zohran Mamdani if He Blocks ICE

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – President Trump called Mamdani a "pure communist" and threatened to withhold federal funds and order his arrest if he obstructs immigration enforcement in New York City, officials said.

  • On July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump toured a new migrant detention center called 'Alligator Alcatraz' in Ochopee, Florida, while also threatening to arrest NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.
  • Trump issued threats after Mamdani, who secured the Democratic mayoral nomination by surpassing Andrew Cuomo during the third round of ranked-choice voting, pledged to halt masked ICE agents from deporting city residents and to end collaboration with ICE.
  • Trump labeled Mamdani a 'total nut job' socialist and warned of withholding federal funds if Mamdani didn't 'do the right thing,' while Mamdani condemned the threats as intimidation targeting New Yorkers who speak up.
  • In a Fox News interview, Trump warned that if the individual takes office, he will remain president and insist they act appropriately, or funding will be withheld. He also expressed opposition to having a communist in the country but said he would closely monitor such a leader to ensure proper governance.
  • These developments highlight escalating political tensions over immigration enforcement in New York City and suggest potential federal-state conflicts if Mamdani pursues his agenda as mayor.
