NEW YORK CITY, July 1, 2025 — Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani issued a bold statement condemning a recent threat from the President of the United States, who reportedly warned of arresting Mamdani, stripping his citizenship, and deporting him to a detention camp. Mamdani, undeterred, declared his refusal to allow ICE to terrorize the city, framing the president’s remarks as an attack on democracy and a chilling message to New Yorkers who speak out.
Mamdani highlighted the inclusion of praise for current Mayor Eric Adams in the president’s authoritarian threats, calling it unsurprising but a stark reminder of the urgency to end Adams’ tenure. He accused MAGA Republicans of attempting to dismantle the social safety net, strip healthcare from millions, and enrich billionaire donors at the expense of working families—a stance he claims Adams echoes through division and hate.
In a rallying cry, Mamdani asserted that voters will resoundingly reject these policies in November, reinforcing his campaign’s commitment to affordability and inclusion. The statement, branded with “Zohran for New York City,” signals his determination to lead the city forward amid escalating political tensions.
