Congressman Chip Roy is proposing legislation that would allow the federal government to bar entry to, deport, and strip citizenship from individuals affiliated with or advocating for “totalitarian” movements, including those associated with socialism or communism. This broad bill, named the MAMDANI Act, would criminalize the possession, writing, distribution, or publication of materials supporting such ideologies, potentially impacting millions of naturalized citizens and legal residents. The legislation further eliminates judicial review for these decisions, raising concerns about a police state and historical parallels to Nazi citizenship laws. Advocates argue this is an ideological loyalty test, not immigration policy, and echoes past McCarthy-era attempts to suppress dissent.

Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy is preparing to introduce the “Mamdani Act,” legislation that would make noncitizens advocating for or affiliated with socialist, communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist movements inadmissible, deportable, denaturalizable, and ineligible for naturalization. This bill would also establish new grounds for deporting noncitizens already in the U.S. for engaging in such advocacy or distributing related materials. Crucially, the legislation would prevent courts from reviewing these decisions, making them final and unchallengeable. The bill specifically targets what Roy describes as the “Red-Green Alliance,” aiming to counter what he views as the advance of Marxist and Islamist ideologies in the United States.

Representative Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is preparing to introduce the “MAMDANI Act,” which aims to block federal funds from New York City for as long as Zohran Mamdani is mayor. The bill would rescind any unobligated federal funds and prevent any new funds from being allocated to the city. This move is seen as a symbolic gesture, reflecting the GOP’s focus on Mamdani’s mayoral victory and its potential to influence vulnerable Democrats nationwide. Carter stated that taxpayer money shouldn’t support programs that would “bankrupt the financial capital of the world,” especially if the city chooses communism.
