President Donald Trump sought to put his thumb on the scale of the NYC Mayor’s Race Tuesday — threatening to lock up newly minted Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani if he dares to interfere with ICE operations while appearing to throw his support behind incumbent Mayor Eric Adams’ long-shot independent reelection bid.
During a July 1 visit to a Florida migrant detention center dubbed as “Alligator Alcatraz,” Trump said “we’ll have to arrest” Mamdani if he interferes with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents (ICE) as mayor — something the Democratic mayoral nominee has said he would do.
