Republican Calls for Mamdani's Deportation

“While I understand that some may raise First Amendment concerns about taking legal action based on expressive conduct … it is entirely appropriate for federal authorities to inquire whether that individual engaged in non-public forms of support — such as organizational affiliation, fundraising, or advocacy” required to be disclosed in a naturalization form, Ogles said.

Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.

After Mamdani’s surprise victory in the mayoral primary, congressional Republicans and conservative voices were quick to denounce the socialist and suggest that his win highlights that “BOTH illegal and immigration can ruin your country.”

“It’s not just the open border, it’s also our suicidal mass LEGAL migration policies bringing in over 1 million people a year: green cards, chain migration, refugee resettlement, anchor babies, and asylum scams,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted on X. “This all needs to be ended.”

“NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,” White House Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said in a post, amplified by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) shared a photo of Mamdani meeting with faith leaders.

“After 9/11 we said ‘Never Forget.’ I think we sadly have forgotten,” Mace wrote.

House Democrats have quickly leaped on the Republicans’ responses to Mamdani’s win, calling them “blatantly racist.”

“This gives up the game,” Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) told the Washington Examiner. “He’s not a criminal. He’s not a danger to anyone. And the fact that they’re saying this gives up the entire game, that what they want is to keep out black and brown people who actually are able to move people to action, that’s what this is about.”

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) echoed Balint in a response to Kirk’s post.

“There it is. For years they sold people the lie of ‘we have no problem if you come the right way!’ But we’ve always seen right through it that BS. They’re … racists. That’s it,” Frost wrote.
