Zohran Mamdani Fights Back After Trump Threatens to Deport NYC Mayoral Nominee Over Communist Claims

In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. During a tour of the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida, Trump called Mamdani a “communist” and claimed, “we don’t need him in this country.” Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian American and U.S. citizen since 2018, has fired back — refusing to be intimidated and calling Trump’s words “an attack on democracy.” This video breaks down the explosive exchange, the rising tensions in the 2025 mayoral race, and why this moment could redefine the political landscape of America’s biggest city. #ZohranMamdani #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCMayorRace #TrumpSpeech #DeportationThreat #USPolitics2025 #ICE #ImmigrationDebate #CitizenshipCrisis #DemocraticSocialist #FirstMuslimMayor #TrumpControversy #BreakingPolitics #OneindiaNews ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.125~
