Republican Opposition: Why the demand for citizenship revocation and deportation?
Republican supporters have demanded that Trump revoke Zohran Mamdani's American citizenship and deport him. They allege that he has not fulfilled the minimum 10-year eligibility requirement for national citizenship and that he is a "hardcore communist" who will destroy New York City.
Trump's Statement: '100 percent Communist'
Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth that Mamdani is "one hundred percent Communist" and "crazy," having crossed democratic boundaries by winning the primary. Trump said that his views are "terrible" and "harsh," and this is a very big message for New York.
The New York Republican Club's Stance
The Republican Club has accused Mamdani of being determined to destroy the city. The club says that his citizenship should be revoked and he should be deported immediately to save New York.
Can citizenship be revoked?
Legally, revoking American citizenship is an extremely difficult process. It requires proof of fraud or violation of law. Generally, stripping citizenship for political reasons is not considered normal. Any such action by an official can only be an option if false information was provided when obtaining citizenship.
