'American citizen only for 7 years': Republican Club calls for Zohran Mamdani's deportation, 'He isn't the mayor yet'

Republicans raised a call to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship and deport him before he becomes New York mayor citing the fact that Mamdani became a US citizen only seven years ago. The 33-year-old Democrat Socialist is the Democratic nominee for New York's mayoral election in November -- after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the primary election.

The New York Young Republican Club called for deporting Mamdani as it said: “The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York."


The club called on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, known for his hawkish stand on immigration, to invoke the Red Scare-era Communist Control Act to strip Mamdani's citizenship.

Stephen Miller already expressed his disgust at Mamdani's win and said it was the "clearest warning 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.

What is the Communist Control Act? Could Mamdani be deported?

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.

Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda in 1991 and moved to New York along with his parents at the age of seven in 1988. His father Mahmood Mamdani is an Ugandan-American with his ancestry in India, his mother Mira Nair is an Indian-American. Zohran Mamdani became a naturalized US citizen in 2018.

President Donald Trump called Mamdani 100 per cent communist lunatic. Trump also commented on his looks and voice and called everything terrible. “It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. 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!” Trump said on Truth Social.
