Zohran Mamdani officially clinched the Democratic nomination in the New York mayor’s race on Tuesday — the same day the president threatened to deport him.

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.”

Trump previously threatened to withhold federal funding from New York City if the mayor does not cooperate with the administration.
