Published June 26, 2025 5:15pm ET



Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) called on the Justice Department to investigate whether New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani should be stripped of his U.S. citizenship following his win in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ogles said the DOJ should determine whether Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, “may have procured U.S. citizenship through willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”
