Petty Texas Rep. introduces new act named MAMDANI that would deport visitors based on their political beliefs

Published: 00:03, 21 April 2026 | Updated: 00:04, 21 April 2026 A Texas Representative proposed the MAMDANI Act that could be used to deny entry and deport non-citizens based on their political beliefs. Republican Rep. Chip Roy proposed the Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists (MAMDANI) Act of 2026 on Monday. The bill, titled after Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor, would enact sweeping changes to the immigration system. According to a press release by the Trump ally, the act would 'deport, denaturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or entry to any alien who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or an Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.' Additionally, Roy's bill would bar judicial review of decisions related to inadmissibility, deportation, or denaturalization, according to Mediaite. 'Why do we continue to import people who hate us? Not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world,' said Roy in a press release. 'This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also the promulgation of hostile ideologies fundamentally opposed to American values.' 'By targeting the Red-Green Alliance, this legislation deploys new tools to fight back against the Marxist and Islamist advance that has devastated Europe and has now arrived on our doorstep, especially in my home state of Texas.' Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy proposed the Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists (MAMDANI) Act of 2026 on Monday which would enact sweeping changes to the immigration system The bill, titled after Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor, specifically targets 'any alien who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or an Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism' The Representative began targeting Mamdani before he was elected on November 4 in a landslide victory over Andrew Cuomo. Roy published an opinion piece in The Federalist in October, warning that 'Mamdani's rise signals the Islamic revolution remaking the US'. The Republican accused the mayor of using pro-immigration policy to advance an 'Islamic cultural revolution' and alter the country's identity. In the piece, he noted how the city's first Muslim mayor had previously posted a picture of himself with Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Wahhaj is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and has also been associated to other terrorist activity, according to the New York Post. Roy also spotlighted how Mamdani fabricated a story about his Muslim aunt being too scared to ride the subway after 9/11. Roy has targeted Mamdani prior to the first Muslim mayor winning the city's election on November 4 Mamdani posed in a photo in with Siraj Wahhaj (right), who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and has also been associated to other terrorist activity, according to the New York Post Mamdani claimed that he was actually referring to one of his father's distant dead cousins, a woman he named only as Zehra. Internet sleuths quickly discovered that Mamdani's only living aunt, a woman called Masuma Mamdani, lived in Tanzania at the time of the September 2001 terror attacks. Roy would go on to urge his fellow Republicans in Congress to work to enact immigration policies that would combat the 'cultural transformation'. According to the Independent, Roy's Act is the third bill this year named after Mamdani and sponsored by Republicans. No comments have so far been submitted.
