Overview

  • Ogles attached a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi invoking a U.S. code provision that allows revocation of citizenship for concealing material support for terrorism.
  • He cited Mamdani’s decade-old rap lyric “Free the Holy Land Five / My guys,” which references leaders of the Holy Land Foundation convicted of funneling money to Hamas.
  • Mamdani’s campaign team and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
  • Mamdani secured victory in the Democratic mayoral primary on June 25 and has pledged to expand the city’s anti-hate crime program by 800 percent.
  • The New York Police Department reported that Mamdani has been targeted with multiple car bomb threats and repeated anti-Muslim harassment during his campaign.
