Zohran Mamdani Faces Citizenship Fraud Review After Trump ‘Deadly Threat’ Post

Zohran Mamdani Faces Citizenship Fraud Review After Trump ‘Deadly Threat’ Post

 

NEW YORK, NY – Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist candidate recently facing scrutiny after a controversial social media post aimed at President Donald Trump, is now the subject of calls for a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigation into his naturalization paperwork.

Conservative activists and commentators, citing the potential for “citizenship fraud,” are urging Republican members of Congress to request an immediate audit of Mamdani’s citizenship status, arguing that he may have concealed information that would have disqualified him from becoming a U.S. citizen.

The primary advocate for this line of action is based on the argument that an audit by DHS could move faster than typical legislative or judicial processes. According to a post widely circulated by conservative commentator Terrence K. Williams, Congress could request DHS to audit Mamdani’s naturalization paperwork within 24 to 72 hours. If fraud is confirmed, the process could lead to the revocation of his citizenship, thereby removing him from political office entirely.

“This is not about religion. This is not about where someone comes from,” the argument asserts. “This is about: Did he lie to obtain citizenship? Did he misrepresent loyalty? Did he use the system to infiltrate political power? If any of that is true, he can be legally stopped before he [is] sworn in. 

Just law and accountability.”

The Basis for the Deportation Calls

 

The calls for denaturalization proceedings against Mamdani stem from two primary areas of concern highlighted by his critics: his past political affiliations and statements, and his public mocking of the former President.

1. Allegations of Concealing Affiliations:

A central claim revolves around the naturalization application process itself. Critics allege that Mamdani may have committed a federal crime seven years ago when he completed the application to become a U.S. citizen. The naturalization form asks specific questions regarding an applicant’s affiliations, particularly concerning groups deemed “anti-American [or] communist.”

Critics argue that Mamdani, who openly supports the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and has previously made statements that they interpret as praising terrorist groups, failed to disclose this material information on the form when he was naturalized in 2018.

The Legal Claim: According to the argument, the form is clear: concealing material information during naturalization renders the citizenship “illegally procured.” This would empower the Department of Justice (DOJ) to open an investigation and potentially revoke his immigration status.

The Political Context: Commentators state that if Mamdani is found to have praised terrorists or despises the U.S. Constitution (as critics assert), this material information would have otherwise disqualified him from becoming a citizen. They conclude that if he “hates America that much,” he can “go back to Uganda.”

2. The Response to Donald Trump:

The controversy gained significant traction after Mamdani publicly mocked President Donald Trump’s statements calling for his arrest and deportation.

Mamdani responded defiantly, using his identity as a shield: “Yesterday, Donald Trump said that I should be arrested.

 He said that I should be deported. He said that I should be denaturalized.”

Mamdani framed the attack as an attempt to “distract from what I fight for.” He claims his political agenda—fighting for working people and easing the cost of living crisis—is why he is being targeted, rather than his background or alleged past actions.

He then challenged the former President: “We know that he would rather speak about me than speak about the legislation that he is shephering through Washington, D.C. Legislation that will quite literally take health care away from Americans… 

Imagine what they feel comfortable saying and doing about immigrants whose names they don’t even know.”

This defense, which frames him as a champion of the working class being attacked by the establishment, is dismissed by critics as a necessary deflection from the core legal issues surrounding his citizenship and financial dealings.

 

Political Reality vs. Socialist Ambition

 

Beyond the allegations of fraud, Mamdani’s political ambitions are seen as being severely hampered by the realities of governance, leading to “buyer’s remorse” among his supporters.

Mamdani campaigned on a platform that included a “free bus plan” and taxing the rich. However, critics point to the history of political governance, noting that New York Governor Kathy Hochul will not greenlight his expensive free bus plan or his aggressive taxation agenda. This disconnect between socialist promises and the political realm of possibility is viewed as a major failure of his campaign platform.

One commentator noted the apparent ideological disconnect with the state’s current leaders, despite some agreements: “We’re aligned on so many of these issues… [but] I’ve made it clear where I have strong disagreements with issues that really do not pertain to the governance of New York City.”

This conflict highlights the broader ideological struggle within the Democratic party, where the “socialist wing is in control,” promoting figures who “hyperventilate if you use the wrong pronoun,” but whose platforms are often deemed unrealistic or damaging to major cities. Senator John Kennedy’s quote is cited to underscore this: “The Democratic party won’t have a future until they stand up to the lone wing of their party, but the rise of Zohran Mamdani shows that they rather listen to a socialist who hyperventilate if you use the wrong pronoun.”

The broader political landscape, as perceived by these critics, is a fight for the identity of the Democratic Party, which is currently “scared” of the far-left wing. They argue that the focus on identity politics and extreme social mandates is detrimental to the country, citing instances of progressive failures in other cities.

 

The Religious and Cultural Takeover Concern

 

The rhetoric surrounding Mamdani also touches on deep-seated cultural fears, particularly among conservative commentators, regarding the intent behind the political rise of Muslim and Socialist immigrants.

A highly controversial social media post, which critics accuse Mamdani’s network of pushing, suggested that his election marked the beginning of a religious and cultural shift in the city: “New York Muslim influencer that helped get Zoran Madani elected pushing content says now begins the time to convert the New York City population to Islam and began building like this… The Islamic Caliphate in New York starts now.”

This extreme rhetoric, regardless of its connection to Mamdani’s official campaign, feeds the fears that his political ascent is not merely about policy, but about a “cultural takeover.” Critics interpret this as the realization of a hidden agenda, viewing the political success as a means to implement religious and cultural mandates in the public sphere.

Mamdani’s supporters are accused of being complicit in this narrative, failing to recognize that many of his promises are “all lies” that he “obviously can’t do.” The overall message propagated by his opponents is one of an external force—driven by foreign loyalties and extreme ideology—seeking to undermine and change the fundamental American character of the city.

In conclusion, the situation surrounding Zohran Mamdani is a multifaceted political and legal controversy, centered on the tension between ideological ambition, the scrutiny of immigration status, and the stark political realities of holding office in a major American city.
