Overview

  • Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump’s administration is considering an investigation to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship.
  • The probe idea follows Rep. Andy Ogles’s June 30 letter accusing Mamdani of hiding support for terrorism during his 2018 naturalization.
  • The consideration aligns with a June 11 DOJ directive to maximize denaturalization efforts against foreign-born citizens accused of offences.
  • No formal denaturalization case has been filed and any inquiry remains in the preliminary phase.
  • Born in Uganda and naturalized in 2018, Mamdani is a top Democratic candidate for New York City mayor and views the move as politically motivated.
