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.
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since 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.
Do it. This would trigger the uprising we need.
Would it, though?
Citizenship is a contract that gives you protection in exchange for some expectations to participate in the community.
Revoking citizenship is a huge deal. Not easily done, and I don’t think its even used as a punishment.
If they were to? Then they’ll happily revoke it for anyone who dissents with the regime.
"… use of denaturalization … is a form of punishment more primitive than torture … " – Trop v. Dulles, 1958, denaturalization unsuitable punishment for 1944 wartime military desertion.
The use of it as an arbitrary tool to instill fear and chill participation in public office should immediately be addressed as uttering threats as a mob.
yeah I’m down to start some shit if they do
If they will revoke citizenship for one they will be happy to revoke it for anyone.
They can revoke these nutz
I doubt it. We’ve already tolerated a near complete collapse of the rule of law and masked goon squads kidnapping people in the streets. Disappearing one more brown guy probably isn’t going to move that needle much.
New Yorkers are a hard bunch. I would expect some enthusiastic protest if their guy got taken from them before he could even get in office.
Revoking citizenship is an extreme move. They don’t even revoke citizenship of criminals.
This would be crossing a line they are unlikely to even understand.
It’s illegal under international law. Because it creates a stateless person, which is a huge problem
He technically wouldn’t be stateless since he’s (according to the Wikipedia page) a dual citizen of US and Uganda.
Edit: To clarify, it would still be a violation of the US constitution to use trumped-up accusations to denaturalize someone, but its technically not against international laws.
If that happens, I’ll personally burn down multiple police stations. Just on principle.
I’ll join you happily. I’m just pretty confident that we will be easy to arrest since it will probably be us and a handful of other people.
Millions of people around the country turned out to protest that, and the protests are ongoing. Also, this isn’t “one more brown guy,” he’s one of the most visible politicians in the country right now.
Yeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare
I understand that things are happening. I’ve been to some of those protests and seen the people making a stand firsthand. It’s certainly not nothing. I’m just saying that the response we’ve seen so far is what I would have predicted for his first term. We should be making a bunch of fascists a foot shorter by now.
If it hasn’t happened yet then there’s a reason. What’s yours?
Not an american. So I have that going for me.
