Denaturalization over Rap Lyrics? Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles Calls for Zohran Mamdani's Deportation
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUN 27 – Rep. Andy Ogles alleges Zohran Mamdani concealed ties to terrorism during naturalization, urging the Department of Justice to investigate under federal law for possible denaturalization.
- In June 2025, U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles formally requested Attorney General Pam Bondi investigate whether NY mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani obtained citizenship through concealment of material support for terrorism.
- Following Mamdani’s primary win, Ogles urged AG Bondi to investigate allegations of concealment of extremist ties during his naturalization, fueled by his historic first-Muslim mayor bid.
- Ogles cites Mamdani's lyrics praising 'Free the Holy Land Five' and refusal to condemn 'globalize the intifada,' suggesting extremist sympathies, and praises the Holy Land Foundation as 'My guys.'
- Democratic lawmakers and the House Homeland Security Committee condemned Ogles's claims as 'racist drivel,' with calls for his resignation amid bipartisan backlash over the investigation effort.
- More broadly, denaturalization remains extremely rare, requiring proof of fraud or extremist ties, and is increasingly viewed as a significant, potentially precedent-setting tool in the Trump administration's deportation efforts.
