The New York Young Republican Club is calling on Donald Trump’s administration to revoke Zohran Mamdani’s citizenship and deport him from the country.
The 33-year-old likely Democratic nominee for New York City’s next mayor declared victory in the primary after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the race on Tuesday evening.
The right-wing New York group reacted to the primary results with a “call to action” on X.
“The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York,” the group wrote.
The group urged the president to invoke the Red Scare-era Communist Control Act to yank Mamdani’s citizenship and “promptly deport him.”
The club called on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Trump border czar Tom Homan to take action.
“The time for action is now,” the group wrote. “New York is counting on you.”
Following Mamdani’s victory, Miller claimed New York City is “clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.”
“The entire Democrat party is lining up behind the diehard socialist who wants to end all immigration enforcement and abolish the prison system entirely,” he added.
Mamdani, who could become the city’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor, won one of the first major Democratic primaries since the start of Trump’s second stint in the White House. His platform has largely focused on a growing affordability crisis, with plans for universal childcare, free buses, and a freeze on rent increases in rent-controlled units.
The administration baselessly claims Mamdani’s victory is the result of uncontrolled immigration as it pushes a mass deportation agenda.
The NYYRC, founded in 1911, is a political and social club for New York Republicans between the ages of 18 and 40.
Mamdani, born in Uganda in 1991, moved to New York along with his family at the age of seven in 1998 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen two decades later in 2018.
The Communist Control Act was signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954 during the Cold War. The legislation outlawed, in theory, the Communist Party in the United States and prohibited communists from attaining certain positions.
