Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming New York City mayoral race, denounced President Donald Trump’s threat to arrest him over his pledge to push back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, calling the President's comments “an attack on our democracy” and “intimidation.”

As he departed the White House earlier Tuesday, Trump continued to attack Mamdani, calling him a "total nut job" and "bad news."
