<p>President Donald Trump suggested that he&#8217;d be willing to take action if New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani ever moved to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from doing their jobs: &#8220;Well just have to arrest him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump addressed the issue while touring &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz,&#8221; a facility in the Florida Everglades that is being restored to house illegal immigrants — and he made it clear that his administration would not tolerate local officials who stood in the way of federal agents attempting to enforce federal laws.</p>
<p>Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and a self-described Democratic Socialist, recently bested disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and will be the Democratic candidate — and has referred to both Trump and ICE agents as &#8220;fascists&#8221; and vowed to fight against Trump on a number of issues, including the administration&#8217;s efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s response was simple: &#8220;Well then we&#8217;ll have to arrest him. Look, we don&#8217;t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I&#8217;m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation. We send him money, we send him all the things that he needs to run a government, and by the way, they get already, they get about three times what you get, Ron.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump turned to Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and said that per capita, Florida got approximately one-third of what New York got from the federal government.</p>

<p>Trump had previously threatened to withhold federal funding from New York City if Mamdani were elected and then proceeded to oppose federal policy.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s say this, if he does get in, I&#8217;m going to be president and he is going to have to do the right thing, but they&#8217;re not getting any money. He&#8217;s got to do right thing. It&#8217;s shocking that I would have assumed that. I used to say we will never have a socialist in this country. No, but we&#8217;ll have a communist. I mean, he&#8217;s a communist, he gonna be mayor of New York,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Border Czar Tom Homan did not appear to be fazed by Mamdani&#8217;s threats to block ICE agents, saying, &#8220;Game on. We’re coming. He wants to block ICE? We’ll see how that works out for him.&#8221;</p>
