Trump Criticizes NYC Mayor Mamdani's ID Requirement for Snow Shoveling Program

During his State of the Union address, US President Donald Trump criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's policy requiring two forms of ID and a Social Security card to register for an emergency snow shoveling program amid a winter storm. Trump, referring to Mamdani as the 'Communist mayor,' joined Republicans in opposing the ID rule, contrasting it with voting ID requirements. The debate coincides with recent House legislation proposing proof of citizenship for voter registration, which faces Democratic opposition.
