Zohran Mamdani responded to Trump's threats by rejecting intimidation and condemning false claims about his citizenship. He noted that Trump's actions are attacks on democracy, sending a message to those speaking against unjust practices. Mamdani expressed that he is threatened with arrest and deportation, not for any illegal actions, but for standing up against ICE raids. The relationship between Trump and Mayor Eric Adams is highlighted, indicating political maneuvers preceding the upcoming elections.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.
Trump's statements don't just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you.
