Zohran Mamdani faces deportation threat
Zohran Mamdani Faces Citizenship Threat After Historic Win
Just days after becoming New York City’s first Muslim mayor-elect,
Zohran Mamdani now faces an extraordinary challenge —
the President of the United States wants to revoke his citizenship.
Mamdani, 34, won a historic victory on Nov. 4, defeating Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
“I am young… I am Muslim… I am a democratic socialist.
And most damning of all, I refuse to apologise for any of this,” he declared at his rally.
His progressive platform promised free buses, universal childcare, and rent freezes.
Backlash quickly followed. President Trump accused Mamdani of being a “communist”
and claimed “a lot of people are saying he’s here illegally.”
Mamdani responded on X: “The President… just threatened to have me arrested,
stripped of my citizenship, and deported… We will not accept this intimidation.”
Though critics demand investigations, legal experts confirm there’s no evidence Mamdani lied on his naturalization forms.
As he prepares for office, Mamdani vows, “To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
