Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Move comes after rightwing Republican accuses New York City mayoral candidate of concealing support for ‘terrorism’

The Trump administration has raised the possibility of stripping Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City, of his US citizenship as part of a crackdown against foreign-born citizens convicted of certain offences.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, appeared to pave the way for an investigation into Mamdani’s status after Andy Ogles, a rightwing Republican representative for Tennessee, called for his citizenship to be revoked on the grounds that he may have concealed his support for “terrorism” during the naturalization process.

Mamdani, 33, who was born in Uganda to ethnic Indian parents, became a US citizen in 2018 and has attracted widespread media attention – and controversy – over his vocal support for Palestinian rights.

This is a sad possibility and if it happens we need to take action and be in the streets and outside the White House.

I don't understand! How does trump have so much over reach and why aren't the courts stopping him! Why is our government intentionally creating a fascist dictator!

The president of the United States has always been a public servant who represents the people of our country. He's not a king among men the Office of the President should not have the ability to strip the citizenship of any individual that's what immigration courts are for!

Because the entire group, all the leaders, are pedo's. they have all been to that island, Now the island is America.

Because more Americans are either fully on board and support this, or don't give enough of a shit to care compared to those who oppose this behavior., and piss and moan every day about how "tHiS iS nOt wHo wE ArE"

Trump is literally America's spirit animal, he represents everything that America stands for: greed, ignorance, hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, corruption, and deceit. Trump is not an outlier, he is America's mirror.

Marco Rubio first. POS birthright citizenship. Or let’s deport Ted Cruz. I’m sure Canada will love to have his head on a stick.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Both of them should honestly be real worried about that. If Trump gets to fully exercise that power, and they step out of line a little bit, either one of them would be exiled in no time.

If deporting him turns out not to work, perhaps admitting to psychiatry because of Trump Derangement Syndrom would?

At some point, some country will need to send a task force to El Salvador to liberate people from the concentration camp there.

"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?

Trump sees the "sucesses" of the Netanyahu strategies

Do it, fucker. We'll burn the fucking country down.

A few of us will protest, a few more will lose citizenship, and the collapse of the US empire will continue. People don't give a shit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

You may be right, but don't surrender before you fight.

At least I'll be too dead to see it.

Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don't like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump's actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.

Just like nothing happened when George Floyd was murdered? This camel's back isn't unbreakable.
