Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship

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 self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

Newsweek contacted Mamdani's campaign along with the White House and Department of Homeland Security for comment on Thursday via email outside of regular office hours.

Why It Matters
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since President Donald 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 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, aligning with the White House's broader strategy of keeping border policy at the center of the national conversation.

What To Know

Mamdani won the Democratic Party primary for November's New York mayoral elections with 43.5 percent of the vote against 36.4 percent for Andrew Cuomo, his closest challenger, according to The Associated Press.

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 adviser, and Homan is Trump's border czar.

Miller framed Mamdani's upset victory as a result of a failure to control migration.

The NYYRC was founded in 1911 and exists as a political and social club for Republicans aged between 18 and 40 in New York.

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.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles. In practice, the act was rarely enforced and was stymied by numerous legal challenges.

On Wednesday, President Trump hit out at Mamdani, currently a New York State Assemblyman, branding him "a 100% Communist Lunatic" on his Truth Social website.

Betting website Polymarket gave Mamdani a 73.6 percent chance of winning November's New York Mayoral election on Wednesday, ahead of incumbent Mayor Eric Adams on 19.4 percent. Adams has announced he is running again as an independent and the Department of Justice has dropped corruption charges against him. He consistently denied any wrongdoing.

What People Are Saying
Republicans for National Renewal, a group that says it campaigns for President Trump's "America First agenda" within the GOP, replied: "We fully support this initiative. Communist radical Zohran Mamdani should be remigrated as soon as possible."

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, wrote on X following Mamdani's upset victory: "NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration."

On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: "Let's just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn't even been a US citizen for ten 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."

Her team later said: "Councilwoman Paladino stands by this statement, and while Zohran has clearly achieved US citizenship and thus is not eligible for deportation, the fact remains that under current administration policy Zohran likely would have been removed from the country before achieving citizenship due to his involvement in multiple antisemitic and far-left organizations in college." Zohran has strongly denied allegations he is antisemitic.

Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: "Like nearly 40% of all 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. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it."

What Happens Next
The New York City mayoral election takes place on November 4.

I don't think it's because he's Asian descent that's why they're asking for his citizen to be stripped. He is a radical Muslim socialist that wants to push socialist policy in NYC if elected - city control grocery store, free childcare, freeze rent cost, raise minimum wage to $30/hr, strengthening sanctuary protection and end cooperation with ICE - by refusing ICE entry to city facilities, increase support for illegals, stop illegal alien info sharing to ICE, and raised taxes to pay for all this.

He did not win yet.. he won the democrat primary. however, even those that didn't win can still have their name on the ballots... including Cuomo or any other Left/Dem candidates unless the Democrat party come in and shut them all up or get out of the Democrat party. They will then bend and bow out. What I found interesting is that majority of his supporters are well-to-do Lefties/Demmies. He won all high income precinct by 13points, beat Cuomo by 20point by people with over $100,000 income and higher by the millionaires of NYC. Cuomo won majority of the lower-income votes, those with less than $100,000/annual income.

I'm interested to see what happened to these rich and wealthy if Zohran won and implemented his socialist policies... Are they going to get richer or end up paying more for tax to support his policies?
