MAGA Representative Introduces MAMDANI Law to Deport and Denaturalize ‘Socialists’

Rep. Chip Roy unveiled legislation on Monday that would broaden federal grounds for deportation and denaturalization. The proposal targets people for alleged membership, affiliation, or advocacy of certain ideologies.

What the bill would change

The measure is called the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act. Its acronym is MAMDANI.

The bill seeks amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. It would classify “aliens” for removal based on ties to socialist, communist, Chinese communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist doctrines.

Who would be affected

The language specifically mentions broad ideological categories. It also references groups that discuss socialism, communism, or Marxism.

• Democratic Socialists of America, which reports more than 100,000 members.
• Notable elected officials named in related coverage, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
• Members of Congress such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, who are associated with DSA organizing.

Details about Zohran Mamdani

Mamdani was born in Uganda in 1991. His family moved to New York in 1998, when he was seven.

He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018. His 2025 mayoral victory has drawn sustained Republican scrutiny.

Political context and reactions

Roy is aligned with former President Donald Trump and a leader in the House Freedom Caucus. He is running for Texas attorney general and is not seeking another House term.

Republican critics have urged denaturalization in Mamdani’s case. Rep. Andy Ogles sent a letter to then-Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting a federal review.

Supporters of the proposal describe immigration as a privilege. Grant Newman, director of government relations at the Immigration Accountability Project, framed admission as conditional on respect for U.S. institutions.

Broader enforcement and legal landscape

The Justice Department issued a memo last year prioritizing denaturalization cases. The memo instructed prosecutors to pursue denaturalization in cases they consider legally and evidentially viable.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will soon hear a challenge to a presidential executive order on birthright citizenship. If the order stands, tens of thousands of newborns could lose automatic citizenship annually.

Selective targeting and omissions

Observers note the bill does not reference violent right-wing movements. Critics call this omission politically significant.

Republican lawmakers have also introduced multiple bills this year that use the mayor’s name. Those measures aim to cut federal funds and to examine city-run programs.

Reporting and next steps

The Washington Post reported that Roy has posted about Muslims, Islam, and sharia law extensively this year. The Post counted at least 244 posts since January.

Filmogaz.com contacted the mayor’s office for comment. The bill will proceed through the legislative process if it gains sponsors and committee action.
