Abstract

The article focuses on Texas Representative Chip Roy's introduction of the Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists (Mamdani) Act, an immigration proposal targeting noncitizens with alleged ties to socialism, communism, Marxism, Chinese communism, or "Islamic fundamentalism" for deportation or denaturalization. The act references New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America but campaigns independently. Roy frames the legislation as a response to what he terms the "Red-Green Alliance," linking left-wing and Islamist movements, and has previously introduced related bills aimed at restricting immigration based on religious and ideological grounds. The proposal seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding grounds for deportability to include advocacy or affiliation with specified ideologies and organizations.
