Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) called on the Justice Department to investigate whether New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani should be stripped of his U.S. citizenship following his win in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ogles said the DOJ should determine whether Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, “may have procured U.S. citizenship through willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”
The congressman provided evidence, including a New York Post report on Mamdani rapping the lyrics: “Free the Holy Land Free/ My guys.” The Holy Land Foundation was convicted of providing support to the terrorist organization Hamas. Ogles said Mamdani’s actions raise “serious concerns about whether Mr. Mamdani held affiliations or sympathies he failed to disclose during the naturalization process.”
