The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.
On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.
Responding to the results, the NYYRC wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "A CALL TO ACTION FROM THE NYYRC. The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York.
"The Communist Control Act lets President Trump revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship and promptly deport him. The time for action is now – Stephen Miller and Thomas Homan, New York is counting on you."
Miller is the White House deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor, and Homan is Trump's border czar.
