Trump Praises Adams, Threatens to Arrest Mamdani
Briefly

Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary against Andrew Cuomo, positioning him for the mayoral race. Trump expressed support for Adams, now an independent candidate, and dismissed federal corruption charges against him as phony. Trump praised Adams for his stance on immigration, implying he assisted in getting the charges against him dropped. Regarding Mamdani, who opposes ICE cooperation, Trump threatened his arrest, branding him a potential communist and stating his intention to monitor him closely.
I helped him out a little bit. He had a problem. He made a statement to the effect of, 'This is terrible. New York City can't have all these immigrants come in.' And he was indicted the following day. And I said, 'Well, that was a phony indictment.' And it was a phony indictment.
Well, then we'll have to arrest him. Look, we don't need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.
