Zohran Mamdani responds to Trump saying he would ‘arrest’ him if he does not comply with ICE
Donald Trump said that I should be arrested. He said that I should be deported. He said that I should be denaturalized. And he said those things about me. Someone who stands to be the first immigrant mayor of this city in generations. Someone who would also be the first Muslim and the first South Asian mayor in this city’s history. less so because of who I am, because of where I come from, because of how I look or how I speak, and more so because he wants to distract from what I fight for. I fight for working people. I fight for the very people that have been priced out of this city. And I fight for the same people that he said he was fighting for. And we know that in this moment it is up to us in this city to show that we can not only fight back against authoritarianism, but we can also fight for working People.
President #DonaldTrump told reporters that he would consider arresting #NewYorkCity Democratic mayoral candidate #ZohranMamdani in reaction to Mamdani’s comment that he would prevent #ICE from carrying out arrests in the city.

How can Trump denaturalise you. He’s a German himself. He’s grandfather was a German.
Talk talk talk like politicians. Well of course. Aren't we done with politicians who don't know how deceived he is , proclaimed Socialist Demontratic
Not gonna lie
He sounds as stupid as he looks 😂
Zohran Mamdani reveals his plan to eliminate privately owned housing and replace it with government owned communes, by eliminating luxury communities and upscale neighborhoods
"We'll have to go beyond the market. We can establish a Community Land Trust to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership."
"We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale, and we can fully commit to a new era of social housing."
"Ending subsidies for luxury housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone."
"We won't do commodified housing overnight, but we know what we have to do and we have history to guide us."
Here's a little bit of that history of social housing and its outcomes ((a few of the many examples)
Soviet Union (Russia), 1917–1991
The government nationalized housing, creating communal apartments to redistribute wealth.
It resulted in overcrowding, poor construction quality, and bureaucratic allocation that led to a housing crisis.
Government overreach ruled through state control and surveillance, fostering poverty with dilapidated living conditions.
150,000 apartments became uninhabitable each year by 2000.
Venezuela, 2011–Present
Launched under Hugo Chávez and continued by Nicolás Maduro, aimed to build 3 million homes to address housing shortages.
The program resulted in unfinished units and rapid decay, with the program stalling because of economic collapse due to socialist policy resulting in hyperinflation starting in 2015.
Poverty deepened, with many families left in substandard or incomplete homes, reinforcing government power through propaganda of housing provision while masking systemic failure and suppressing dissent.
East Germany 1949–1990
Post-WWII, the socialist government built Concrete blocks to house workers, expanding rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s to meet industrial demands.
The project led to poor insulation, structural issues, and overcrowding, with construction lagging behind population growth – only 1.2 million units by 1989 against a 2 million need.
Government overreach ruled in centralized planning and forced relocations, while poverty was sky high because of the inadequate living conditions, with many units abandoned post-reunification in 1990 due to cost.
China, 1950s–1970s
Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward included mass housing projects to support rural collectivization, with urban work-unit compounds expanding in the 1960s.
The program led to shoddily built structures, with many collapsing or becoming uninhabitable. Poverty intensified because of resource misallocation, and government overreach ruled due to the work-unit control over residents’ lives, limiting mobility and personal freedom, with lasting negative impacts.
Bottom line – socialist housing projects have led to a pattern of government overreach where centralized control led to economic failures and impacting the poor at a greater rate and deepening inequality."
I agree with Donald Trump this man is going to lead New York to ruin.
Take your communist idealogy back to where came from!!!!!!
He's 100% correct!!!!
New York and the other blue states on the west coast should join Canada. Then we become the big boys. We can let those swamp creatures who voted for Trump fall apart on their own.
USA is like a delicious cake … for Ants to swamp and eat it…. But then there is no system left to make another cake
Russia… my friend…. Oligarchs after Stalin ruined the country
China… changed… more millionaires than New York City
You are illiterate
No disrespect, but Trump wife is a immigrant. She falls in the same category. Guess she's above the law though .
You should better shut up and follow of the rules of United States that Miss Cortez she’s gonna put you in a trap you never ever going to anything forward
It’s not you’re back home country this is America. No one let no one to destroy this place.
yeah and what have you been saying the past week?
Just say that you don't support ILLEGAL immigrants.. I'm with you then
Notice how he didn't mention the qualifier Trump added to what he said. Does this guy (with his whopping 8 years as a US citizen) think he can not only defy federal law but fight against federal law enforcement and somehow NOT have his citizenship revoked? I've never been so happy to live in the southern part of the middle of the country…about as far away from NYC, LA, San Fran etc you can get without leaving the country. Whoever votes for this snake in the grass deserves whatever he does to NYC.
Doni is a taco , a paper tiger, and full of trash and for sure a empty jar ❤
California loves you
No content. You're just another politician with your socialist beliefs. Nothing much to offer. Be realistic my friend.
Muslim 😂😂😂 welcome to Sharia law
Muslim apologists. That’s how it starts .. stop him before its too late
You should be arrested, deported cause you are a fake muslim. Go get a job in lran, you look like them. And 33 years old wanna be mayor of a giant city.
Go change your diaper.
I saw this coming since the inoguration when individuals with divers backgrounds who celebrate and are proud of where they are from spoke in front of everyone. The cameras had to switch views because MAGA freaks were making obnoxious faces and gestures. I saw this coming we know whats in the heart's of the silent Genocide cult.
This MAN is the future of the USA
Donald madman
OK 😂
I can't understand why, how, Americans choose acrock president. No one is fixing your life. Look at other countries
Political parties are the problem
Glad I VOTED NO KINGS 👎🏽💙💙💙🎆🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🎆🎆🎆
Impeach Donald Trump
Donald Trump just gave the working people the biggest tax cut ever
❤❤❤
Commie taking about a danger of totalitarianism 😂
Useless guy😂 he can only creat and spread hate among Americans
Why? Is Donald Trump an extremist anti other religions? Anti other races? Wow how amazing he still importing oil from arab race
Deport him
OMG….i.wonder how melanie handled her husband. Its a.manipulated😮
Go be a mayor in your country
We don't need muslims.
When Trumps base starts to turn against him in a year, watch how quick Pa Bondi announce charges for this mayor, Gavin, Hunter, Clinton, Joe and Obama. Watch. They will do anything to get back in good graces and thats the last straw they can pull. Bad thing is they won’t have the house or senate by then, so impeachment of his cabinet and him is coming. I say impeach trump then Vance and Jeffries becomes President lol
He doesn't have enough experience for the job; he's all talk.
Good, I'm with trump.
He just answered a question and if you feel some type of way maybe because you are guilty of what they are saying about ya 😂😂
Am a president Trump supporter, my question is he a racist?
🙏🙏🙏
