Trump Threatens Arrest of NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani Over ICE Defiance

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly threatened to arrest New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani if he interferes with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.

This threat comes amid heightened debate over immigration policies and local enforcement cooperation with federal agencies.

Mamdani, known for his progressive stance on immigration, has publicly opposed ICE's actions within New York City.

The potential arrest of a mayoral candidate by federal authorities raises significant questions about the balance of power between the federal government and local municipalities and could further escalate political tensions in the city.
