A proposed bill from a top House Republican could be used to denaturalize U.S. citizens who “advocate” for socialism, including anyone who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America or any “affiliate” group, which includes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and dozens of public office holders across the country.
Monday’s bill from Donald Trump ally and Republican Rep. Chip Roy, a leader in the far-right House Freedom Caucus, would radically expand the grounds for deporting, denying entry and stripping the citizenship of anyone in the country based on their real or perceived politics or ideology, echoing President Donald Trump’s attempts to “maximally pursue” denaturalization cases and remove tens of thousands of people from the U.S.
