At a press conference, Trump called Adams a “very good person” and threatened to arrest Mamdani if he refuses to cooperate with ICE.

President Donald Trump praised New York City Mayor Eric Adams Monday, describing him as a “very good person” as Adams faces an uphill reelection battle. Trump also threatened to arrest Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani if he interferes with immigration enforcement as mayor, called him a “communist” and questioned Mamdani’s legal status.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently clinched the Democratic nomination for New York mayor, has strongly hit back at Donald Trump’s threats of arrest and deportation.
