"I'm not afraid,"
Mamdani said in response to Trump's threat.

New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani says he is not afraid of threats from President Donald Trump. "Shortly after Mamdani's candidacy was finalized, Trump attacked him as a" "lunatic" and a" communist"and threatened to arrest him and strip him of his citizenship if he prevented the immigration agency ICE from operating in New York."

"The president has threatened to send me to a detention camp," Mamdani said. Just because I want to stop ICE's rampage in our city. I didn't break any laws. I don't accept this threat. News from The Independent.

This threat is not just to me - it's a message that if you open your mouth, they will come after you.

Mamdani also took a swipe at current New York Mayor Eric Adams, who has been praised by Trump. "This is not surprising," he said. Rather, it proves why Eric Adams' time needs to be up.
