Overview
- The Texas congressman introduced the bill Monday, proposing to expand federal immigration law to block entry, naturalization, and continued residence for non-citizens tied to socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, or Islamic fundamentalism.
- The draft would make people deportable and denaturalizable for advocacy or affiliation, including writing, distributing, or possessing material that supports those ideologies, and it would bar courts from reviewing such decisions.
- Named for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the text cites his “very presence” as evidence of a problem, and Roy’s office first provided the draft to Breitbart for publication.
- Roy calls the bill a response to a “Red-Green Alliance,” supporters such as Rep. Keith Self say it is an immigration fix, and critics describe it as Islamophobic and a broad attack on political speech and religious freedom.
- The measure is not law and faces long odds, with coverage noting recent Justice Department emphasis on denaturalization and Roy’s prior efforts to restrict what he calls Islamist influence as part of the backdrop.
