President Donald Trump suggested he would order authorities to arrest New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani if he doesn’t allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate in the city as mayor.

As he departed the White House earlier Tuesday, Trump continued to attack Mamdani, calling him a "total nut job" and "bad news."

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming New York City mayoral race, denounced President Donald Trump’s threat to arrest him over his pledge to push back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, calling the President's comments “an attack on our democracy” and “intimidation.”
