After winning the Democratic Primary for the post of Mayor of New York City, Johran Mamdani of Indian origin has come under controversy. Republican leaders and right -wing groups, supporters of US President Donald Trump, are demanding the cancellation of his US citizenship as well.
Please tell that Johran Mamdani is the son of famous Indian-American filmmaker Meera Nair. He acquired American citizenship in 2018. He has also been a member of the New York State Assembly since 2021, but has been involved in controversies after winning the Mamdani Democratic primary before the Mayor election of New York City in November, being targeted as a hardcore communist.
US President Trump’s Border Security Advisor Tom Homan warned that if the immigration agencies were not allowed to arrest in jails, they would catch people from their homes and offices. He said that the game on, now we are coming.
Republican MP Andy Ogles has written a letter to the US Department of Justice demanding cancellation of citizenship of Joharan and deporting them. Ogles shared pictures of a letter written to American Attorney General Palm Bandy, demanding an inquiry from the Department of Justice that Mamdani’s US citizenship should be canceled on the grounds that he deliberately misrepresented and hidden relations with terrorism.
The New York Young Republican Club launched a campaign on social media and demanded the Trump administration to cancel the citizenship of Mamdani under the 1954 Communist Control Act. This law was made during the Cold War, which was declared illegal as the Communist Party. The club tagged the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Donald Trump’s border consultant Tom Homan and wrote in the post that the radical Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York. This development is happening a few days after US President Trump called Mamdani 100% communist mad.
According to the report by The Independent, after Mamdani’s victory, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House Stephen Miller claimed that New York City is the most clear warning for a society that when he fails to control the migration. He said that the entire Democrat party stands behind the staunch socialist who wants to eliminate all immigration enforcement and completely eliminate the gel system.
