Zohran Mamdani says Trump's 'threats are inevitable'
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday he wouldn’t be intimidated by President Donald Trump’s potential threats to deploy the National Guard to his city.

"I think that his threats are inevitable," Mamdani told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

"This has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with intimidation. If it was [about] safety, President Trump would be threatening to deploy the National Guard to the top 10 states of crime, eight out of which are all Republican-led, but because of that party, he won't actually be doing so," he said.

Zohran Mamdani said he wouldn’t be "intimidated" by President Donald Trump’s potential threats to deploy the National Guard into the Big Apple.

Among the states Trump has sent the National Guard to is GOP-led Tennessee, although he specifically chose the Democratic-led city of Memphis. Other cities he's sent troops to include Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

Don't send them. Let NYC fester in its glory. It voted for this, and that's that.

Jewish communities have their own similar patrols, and they all use uniforms and cars that look confusingly like NYPD uniforms and cars.  The Jewish patrols are known as Shomrim.

I wouldn’t be surprised if other ethnicities have their own community patrols as well. 

For some reason that is beyond me, it is not illegal in NY to use a uniform or badging that looks confusingly like the uniforms and badging used by the actual NYPD.
