US EditionMayor Refuses to Condemn Council Member’s Call to Deport Zohran Mamdani
- New York City Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino publicly called to deport socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in June 2025.
- Paladino justified deportation based on Mamdani's citizenship of less than ten years and radical political views, though Mamdani is clearly not eligible for deportation.
- Paladino's posts, including a spoof shirt reading 'Deport Zohran from New York City,' sparked uproar and threats, leading to police protection for her and Mamdani's condemnation of the rhetoric as hateful.
- Mayor Eric Adams declined to condemn Paladino’s attacks, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo criticized deportation as the Republican answer to everything, stating 'it has to stop.'
- The controversy highlights deep political divisions in the competitive mayoral race increasingly defined by polarized rhetoric and voter realignments in New York City.
