Overview
- Roy introduced the MAMDANI Act on Monday, filing a House bill that names New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and seeks to rewrite parts of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- The bill would make non-citizens inadmissible, ineligible for naturalization, deportable, or denaturalizable for membership, affiliation, advocacy, or publishing material in support of socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, or Islamic fundamentalism.
- It would bar judicial review of decisions under the act, which means deportation or loss of citizenship ordered under its provisions could not be appealed in court.
- Roy promotes the measure as a response to a “Red-Green Alliance,” and he circulated bill materials through Breitbart while also running for Texas attorney general.
- Reporters say the measure is unlikely to pass, with critics calling it a curb on free speech and religious freedom and conservative backers casting it as a national security tool.
