Since declaring for the position of Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has been a target of several right-wing politicians. Some Republicans are clamoring for Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Canada to parents who immigrated from Tanzania, to be denaturalized, and deported.
This stems from allegations that Mr. Mamdani, who is also a practicing attorney, committed visa fraud when he applied for citizenship. The deportation demands come despite a lack of criminal charges or conviction, with opponents calling for him to be stripped of his citizenship and blacklisted from the country.
This has led many to wonder, can a politician or figure with such powers actually revoke citizenship like this? Essentially, once citizenship is granted, can it be taken away?
The short answer is yes, citizenship can be revoked under certain circumstances. The longer answer requires a deeper look into the complexities of immigration law and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
Ultimately the debates surrounding Zohran Mamdani will likely continue for the foreseeable future, and the implications of these arguments will test the boundaries of our democracy and our commitment to equity and justice.
