Donald Trump Threatens to Deport Democratic Socialist Mayor Candidate

In a recent response to questions about Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist who secured victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, US President Donald Trump alleged that Mamdani had made derogatory remarks about Jewish people. Trump referred to Mamdani as a 'Communist' and threatened to deport him, stating 'I'll get him out'.

Mamdani's Response and Netanyahu's Reaction

Mamdani, a US citizen, had expressed intentions to enforce the International Criminal Court's arrest order if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited New York City. Trump warned Mamdani of 'big problems' if he did not 'behave'. Netanyahu responded by stating that he was not concerned about Mamdani's statements.

Trump's Attacks and False Allegations

Continuing his attacks, Trump labeled Mamdani as a 'Communist lunatic' and falsely claimed that Mamdani, a naturalized citizen originally from Uganda, was in the US illegally. He threatened to arrest Mamdani if he obstructed federal immigration enforcement, particularly ICE operations in the city.

Future Implications

Trump has previously warned of funding cuts for New York if Mamdani was elected mayor in the upcoming November polls. Despite Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary, Trump has indicated that he would investigate allegations of Mamdani's illegal presence in the US.
