'I will Arrest Him...': Trump Targets NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Over Anti-Israel Stance

Oneindia

During a fiery press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as "anti-Israel" and claiming he may be in the U.S. illegally. The dramatic statement came just hours after Mamdani’s primary win was certified. Trump threw his support behind current Mayor Eric Adams, stating he had "helped him out a little bit" in the past. The president also criticized Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE operations in NYC, warning, “If that happens, we’ll have to arrest him.”    This escalating clash between the White House and a local progressive politician could have national consequences.    #Trump #ZohranMamdani #EricAdams #NYCMayoralRace #ICE #AntiIsrael #TrumpSpeech #ImmigrationPolitics #BreakingNews #USPolitics #PresidentialThreat #NYCNews  ~HT.318~PR.274~HT.318~

00:00He made a statement to the effect that this is terrible.

00:02New York City can't have all these immigrants come in every time you opened your mouth.

00:06That was a bad group. That was a very dangerous group, I will tell you.

00:09These were not nice people.

00:11Mr. President, your beloved New York City,

00:14your beloved New York City may well be led by a communist soon,

00:18Zorhan Mandami, who in his nomination speech said he will defy ICE

00:24and will not allow ICE to arrest criminal aliens in New York City.

00:27Your message to communist Zorhan Mandami.

00:30Well then, we'll have to arrest him.

00:32Look, we don't need a communist in this country,

00:35but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.

00:40We send him money.

00:41We send him all the things that he needs to run a government.

00:45And by the way, they get already, they get about three times what you get, Ron.

00:49If you look at the per capita,

00:51Florida gets one-third of what New York gets in terms of the numbers.

00:56Why don't you give us those numbers?

00:58Because that's what we should send him.

01:00Sometimes people say Florida gets more because they count Social Security recipients,

01:04but that's not money to the state.

01:06Those are seniors that live here.

01:07If they move to North Carolina, you could count it there.

01:09So it has no interaction with the state government.

01:12They get more in the city and state governments than we get.

01:15Right.

01:15Substantially.

01:16We're going to be watching that very carefully,

01:19and a lot of people are saying he's here illegally.

01:22We're going to look at everything.

01:24And ideally, he's going to turn out to be much less than a communist.

01:28But right now, he's a communist.

01:29That's not a socialist.

01:31I've always said, we will not have socialism in this country in the speeches.

01:34I said, well, what?

01:36He skipped socialism.

01:37And you get a lot of them like that.

01:39And you see AOC.

01:40She's out there with her, you know, bad IQ.

01:43She's out there ranting and raving about how wonderful he is.

01:46And look, so far, he's winning.

01:48He still has a race to win, but so far, he's winning.

01:50And he has an advantage as a Democrat in New York City.

01:53I was there a long time ago, and it was a long time since a Republican won the city.

01:59But you would think that a Republican would be able to win.

02:01Or you have a good independent running, Mayor Adams, who's a very good person.

02:06I helped him out a little bit.

02:07He had a problem, and he was unfairly hurt over this question.

02:11He made a statement to the effect that this is terrible.

02:14New York City can't have all these immigrants come in.

02:17And, like, he was indicted the following day.

02:20And I said, that was a phony indictment, and it was a phony indictment.

02:23That was a Biden indictment.

02:25I said, don't feel bad.

02:26I got indicted five times every time you opened your mouth.

02:30That was a bad group.

02:31That was a very dangerous group, I will tell you.

02:33These were not nice people.

02:35That was the only thing they could do.

02:37They had no policy.

02:38They had no skill.

02:39They had no anything.

02:40But they were very good at that.

02:41They were vicious, vicious, horrible people.

02:44Thank you very much.

02:45He made a statement to the effect that this is terrible.

02:47New York City can't have all these immigrants come in every time you opened your mouth.

02:51That was a bad group.

02:52That was a very dangerous group, I will tell you.

02:54These were not nice people.
