Republicans try to make Zohran Mamdani a Democratic villain well outside of New York City

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – Rep. Andy Ogles has requested a Justice Department investigation into Zohran Mamdani's citizenship due to allegations of undisclosed extremist ties during naturalization, a rare legal move.

  • Following Mamdani's primary victory, Rep. Ogles requested the DOJ investigate and revoke his citizenship under the Communist Control Act of 1954.
  • Born in Uganda, Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America with pro-Palestine activism, naturalized in 2018, prompting Republican-led citizenship investigation.
  • Ogles dubbed Mamdani “little muhammad” on X; Trump called him “a 100% Communist Lunatic” on Truth Social; Ogles’s letter branded him antisemitic, socialist, communist.
  • Schumer condemned the effort as 'disgusting,' while some pro-Israel Democrats defended Mamdani amid bipartisan backlash.
  • Mamdani’s NYC primary victory fuels Republican claims that Democrats are 'radical socialists', prompting calls to invoke the Cold War-era Communist Control Act of 1954 to denaturalize him.
