NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani listed himself as Black on a Columbia application but later said he wasn’t, according to reporting from the New York Times.

Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City and a state Assembly member, called the threat "an attack on our democracy."

President Donald Trump claimed that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was “here illegally” during a news conference at the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center on July 1.
