Trump Questions NYC Mayoral Nominee Mamdani's Citizenship, Threatens Legal Action

News summary

President Trump has publicly questioned the citizenship of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, despite Mamdani being a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2018. Trump called Mamdani a "communist" and threatened to arrest him if he obstructs immigration enforcement in the city. These claims have no credible evidence and have been condemned by Mamdani and his supporters as intimidation tactics. Trump also called on the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, to investigate Mamdani's citizenship and pursue denaturalization proceedings, mirroring ongoing federal efforts to crack down on sanctuary cities and immigration defiance. Additionally, Trump demanded prosecution of CNN and former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over alleged criminal behavior related to immigration enforcement reports. The situation highlights the Trump administration's aggressive stance on immigration and its political targeting of opponents like Mamdani.
