Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

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.

      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.

        Revoking citizenship is a huge deal. Not easily done, and I don’t think its even used as a punishment.

        "… 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.
