Republicans plead with Trump to deport 'radical' NYC mayor nominee before he destroys the city
New York Young Republican Club and far-right Republicans demand Zohran Mandani's removal from the country after winning the NY mayoral primary
The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on President Donald Trump's administration to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him from the country.
The 33-year-old, who is likely to be the Democratic nominee for New York City's upcoming mayoral race, declared victory in the primary following former Governor Andrew Cuomo's concession on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, the New York Young Republican Club issued a "call to action" following the primary results. 'The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be permitted to destroy our beloved city of New York,' the group stated on X.
The primary outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party's potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.
The group urged the president to invoke the Red Scare-era Communist Control Act to revoke Mamdani's citizenship and 'promptly deport him.' The club requested that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Trump border czar Tom Homan 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 the "clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.' He said: 'The entire Democrat party is lining up behind the diehard socialist who wants to end all immigration enforcement and abolish the prison system entirely."
Another group, Republicans for Renewal, replied to NYYRC's 'call to action,' stating that 'communist radical Zohran Mamdani should be deported as soon as possible.'
The White House characterized Mamdani's surprising victory—potentially making him New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor—as evidence of uncontrolled migration. This stance reflects the White House's broader strategy of prioritizing border policy in national discussions.
Mamdani's platform primarily addresses the escalating affordability crisis, proposing initiatives such as universal childcare, free public buses, and a rent freeze in rent-controlled apartments.
Trump slammed Mamdani on Truth Social on Wednesday, calling him a 'communist lunatic.' He wrote: 'We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous."
In Mamdani's defense, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who also backed Mamdani, cautioned Republicans against celebrating too early. Some Republicans saw Mamdani's success as a political advantage that could influence upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and the midterm races next year.
"People like Mamdani are their worst nightmares. It's one thing for the Democrats to be strongly against Donald Trump. It is another thing to give working-class people something to vote for — a positive agenda," Sanders said of the GOP.
Assuming Mamdani ultimately becomes the Democratic nominee, he would face off in the November election against Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently running as an independent. The race could also include Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, and possibly Cuomo again, if he decides to run as an independent.
