"The Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act proposes amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow for the deportation, denaturalization, denial of citizenship or entry to any migrant that is a member of a socialist party, communist party, the Chinese Communist Party or Islamic fundamentalist party."
"Denaturalization of U.S. citizens is even more radical than the MAGA goal of abolishing birthright citizenship, since it involves stripping new Americans of rights thought to be inalienably secured."
"Under current law, denaturalization is extremely rare and mostly involves cases where citizenship was obtained fraudulently, or where naturalized citizens are guilty of heinous acts."
"Both denaturalization and bans on citizenship based on political expression or association would be blatantly unconstitutional."
The MAMDANI Act, introduced by Congressman Chip Roy, seeks to amend federal immigration law to allow deportation and denaturalization of migrants associated with socialist, communist, or Islamic fundamentalist ideologies. It targets not only party membership but also advocacy for these beliefs, encompassing a wide range of expressive activities. This legislation represents a significant departure from current practices, which rarely involve denaturalization and typically require severe misconduct. The proposed measures raise serious constitutional concerns regarding the First and Fourteenth Amendments, as they threaten the rights of naturalized citizens and those seeking citizenship.
