Republicans are calling on Trump to revoke Mamdani's citizenship and deport him
The New York Young Republican Club is calling on Donald Trump's administration to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship and deport him from the country. The 33-year-old likely Democratic nominee for New York City's next mayor declared victory in the primary after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the race on Tuesday evening. The right-wing New York group reacted to the primary results with a 'call to action' on X. 'The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York,' the group wrote. The group urged the president to invoke the Red Scare-era Communist Control Act to yank Mamdani's citizenship and 'promptly deport him.' The club called on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Trump border czar Tom Homan to take action. 'The time for action is now,' the group wrote. 'New York is counting on you.' Following Mamdani's victory, Miller claimed New York City is 'clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.' 'The entire Democrat party is lining up behind the diehard socialist who wants to end all immigration enforcement and abolish the prison system entirely,' he added. Mamdani, who could become the city's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, won one of the first major Democratic primaries since the start of Trump's second stint in the White House. His platform has largely focused on a growing affordability crisis, with plans for universal childcare, free buses, and a freeze on rent increases in rent-controlled units. The administration baselessly claims Mamdani's victory is the result of uncontrolled immigration as it pushes a mass deportation agenda. The NYYRC, founded in 1911, is a political and social club for New York Republicans between the ages of 18 and 40. Mamdani, born in Uganda in 1991, moved to New York along with his family at the age of seven in 1998 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen two decades later in 2018. The Communist Control Act was signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954 during the Cold War. The legislation outlawed, in theory, the Communist Party in the United States and prohibited communists from attaining certain positions. But it was rarely enforced and faced a litany of legal challenges as a relic of the McCarthyism era. Momdani's victory had some prominent Republicans cheering on the return of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's Un-American Activities Committee. 'New York City is on the verge of electing a socialist for mayor,' Sen. Mike Collins wrote. 'Might be time to bring back the committee.' Trump also slammed Mamdani on Truth Social on Wednesday, calling him a 'Communist Lunatic.' Incumbent New York Mayor Eric Adams is set to run as an independent in November's general election after he faced corruption charges, which the Department of Justice subsequently dropped. Adams, who has rejected all allegations of wrongdoing, has faced accusations from Democrats of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration to facilitate its immigration agenda. The group Republicans for Renewal responded to NYYRC's 'call to action,' saying that 'communist radical Zohran Mamdani should be remigrated as soon as possible.' Republican New York councilwoman Vickie Paladini wrote on June 2 that it would be 'insane' for voters to elect someine who hasn't been a citizen for more than 10 years, 'much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we've ever been about. 'Deport,' she said. A spokesperson for the councilwoman subsequently added that she "stands by this statement' and accused the state assemblyman of being eligible for removal from the country 'due to his involvement in multiple antisemitic and far-left organizations in college,' according to Newsweek. Mamdani has repeatedly rejected allegations of antisemitism against him and has denounced rising acts of antisemitic abuse. He struck back at Paladino, writing that like nearly 40 percent of New Yorkers, 'I wasn't born in this country.' 'I moved here at age 7. It's my home. And I'm proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution,' he added. 'Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it."

Zohran Mamdani at risk of losing US citizenship? Shocking twist as New York's mayoral race heats up
Zohran Mamdani , the son of filmmaker Mira Nair and Mahmood Mamdani, a Ugandan author of Indian ancestry, was declared victorious in the Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night. In a stunning victory, Mamdani defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary race for New York City mayor. But President Trump and MAGA are not happy with Mamdani's victory with the commander-in-chief calling him a "100% communist lunatic". MAGA Republicans have taken it to next level as they have called for the deportation of New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. The White House has framed the upset victory by Mamdani who could become New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, as evidence of uncontrolled migration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Twoje palce mogą wiele powiedzieć o Twojej osobowości.

Live Events Responding to the results, the NYYRC wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "A CALL TO ACTION FROM THE NYYRC" The New York Young Republican Club , or NYYRC, took to X, begging Trump immigration advisers Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to revoke Mamdani's US citizenship and deport him.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, tore into Zohran Mamdani and attributed the expected outcome of the primary to 'unchecked migration.' 'The commentary about NYC Democrats nominating an anarchist-socialist for Mayor omits one point: how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the NYC electorate. Democrats change politics by changing voters. That's how you turn a city that defined US dominance into what it is now,' Miller said in a post on the social platform X early Wednesday. 'To understand the pace and scope of migration to America in past years, one-third of NYC is foreign-born and almost two-thirds of NYC children live in a foreign-born household,' he added in another post. 'NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,' Miller said in another post, which generated some pushback among more liberal X users.

Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," Trump wrote. "He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!" he added. Mamdani was born in Uganda in October 1991. His family moved to New York City when he was 7 years old in 1998. Mamdani was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2018.
