Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in New York City's mayoral race, could find his citizenship status in trouble if House Republicans have their way. At least two GOP members expressed their desire to have Mamdani's path to citizenship probed, and possibly deport him from the US, New York Post reported.
This report comes even as early voting for NYC' mayoral race has begun. The demand from the GOP lawmakers was loudly echoed on social media platform X, with many joining in the demands to have Mamdani deported.
Notably, the 34-year-old's Muslim identity has come under fire in recent times, with Andrew Cuomo leveling a ‘racist’ jab. Even Vice President JD Vance didn't hold back, when Mamdani described the situation for his aunty, a Muslim, in the city after 9/11.
