Zohran Mamdani, a 33‑year‑old Indian‑origin, Ugandan-born U.S. citizen and Democratic Socialist, has responded defiantly to former President Donald Trump’s threats to arrest, strip his citizenship, place him in a detention camp, and deport him if he obstructs ICE raids in New York City. Trump labelled him a “communist” and questioned his legal status despite Mamdani naturalizing in 2018. Clinched after defeating Andrew Cuomo in the June primary, Mamdani leads polls in the upcoming November mayoral race. He vowed, “We will not accept this intimidation,” and emphasised his campaign’s focus on working‑class and immigrant communities, not fear. (PC: History & New York City)
