<h1>Democratic mayoral nominee faces deportation threats from President despite being naturalized citizen after primary victory</h1> A Democratic nominee for New York City mayor faces escalating attacks from the President and Republican officials following a surprise primary victory over a former governor. The President has threatened to arrest and deport the 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, falsely claiming illegal immigration status despite the candidate being a naturalized citizen. Republicans are using the nominee's progressive platform and controversial past statements to paint the entire Democratic Party as extreme. The candidate's positions include opening city-run grocery stores, making buses free, and raising property taxes on wealthier neighborhoods, while facing criticism for pro-Palestinian advocacy and past comments about law enforcement.
